Posted in The Nashville City Paper talked Monday about the defensive issues that the Titans had vs the Texans:
Titans head coach Jeff Fisher was busy Monday trying to head off any potential questions about internal issues with the defense in the aftermath of Sunday’s 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans where the pass defense was shredded for 357 yards and four touchdowns, as big plays like his 72-yard toss to Andre Johnson victimized a Tennessee secondary that sent three players to the Pro Bowl a year ago. Fisher dismissed comments by cornerback Nick Harper, who was called for pass interference three times (two were declined) and said the Titans didn’t make the necessary adjustments to slow down Houston’s offense. “When a player gets beat one-on-one, it has nothing to do with the game plan or the call. That’s not an issue,” Fisher said. The coach chalked much of the talk up to the frustration of another three-point loss and an 0-2 start. “Let me set the record straight here. When you’re a good football team, and you start off the season 0-2, there’s gonna be frustration. And the only way you get out of it is you avoid pointing fingers at anybody,” Fisher said. “Everybody accepts the blame and you move on. There were adjustments made on the sideline for each and everything that we saw. There was an adjustment made for that last big pass they made on the sideline. It was made. I heard it. The players alluding to the fact that we’re having trouble making adjustments, the players need to pay closer attention to what’s being said on the sideline. That’s just football. It happens week after week.”
