Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher – Training Camp – August 9, 2012
(On what he likes to get out of preseason games)
“You set out to win the games. Obviously every time you compete on the field you want to work towards and achieve a victory. As far as the first preseason game, we’re looking forward to watching them play. We want to see the rookies respond under pressure, which there is obvious pressure in the first one. You stay somewhat basic. You don’t try to out-scheme somebody and spend all this time, you want to see them block and tackle, you want to see them execute the fundamentals against a good opponent.”
(On if he does any game planning for the first preseason game)
“We’ll continue to add things as the preseason goes on. Expect more of the players in Week 3 and Week 4, but each opponent is different. Out of fairness to the players, you need to somewhat prepare them. For example they’ve been practicing against an even front, four-man front, and in all likelihood we’re going to be going against an odd-front, a three-man front, so you need to give them a chance to be successful. But as far as all the things that we carry in the regular season, we don’t get close to that.”
