HEAD COACH JEFF FISHER**

(on what it means to get Randy Moss on the field and see him in a Titans uniform)

The team got through it yesterday because we had an abbreviated session yesterday.  We kind of shook the rust off after the weekend and we got…

Yesterday we had the team out here and we got through some work, we got a little head start on Miami.  It was their first time to watch him, and he is what we expected him to be.  He's very, very talented.  He's having fun here, he's enjoying it, he's learning the offense as quickly as he can.  As far as him playing this week, he's going to play.  How much really depends on how much he's able to absorb by the end of the week, but he's really smart and he's got a good feel already.  Those of you that watched practice saw that he is participating in most of the offense, we're happy to have him and he's here to help us win games.  That's the primary reason everybody is excited.

(on rookie safety Robert Johnson coming on the practice fields in a Randy Moss jersey)

He got you…he got some of you guys?  He's a rookie of course, and I think some of the veteran DB's put him up to it.  It was a good imitation; he just had the wrong colored gloves.

(on an update on Vince Young's injury status)

He's much better, he didn't practice today, but we're hopeful to get him back on the field tomorrow.

(on the Miami Dolphins naming Chad Pennington their starting quarterback for Sunday's game)

We'll have to shift gears a little bit.  Chad is a very, very talented quarterback.  Last time we played him here he was with the Jets and he beat us here.  He has a very, very good understanding of their offense, play-action, protections, where to throw the football; I personally didn't feel like Chad Henne was playing that bad.  I've always been a Henne fan and he threw for 349 (yards) against us here last year in the overtime game.  That's their choice.  We'll just have to prepare to stop a very potent passing game and an extremely talented running game.

(on Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall)

When you're talking about 52 catches already—halfway through the season, those are pretty good numbers.  They're going to try and find a way to get it to him, and obviously we have to know what he's doing and where he is but there are some other weapons on offense that we have to be concerned about.

(on if these two practices have changed his expectations on what he expects to see from Randy Moss this Sunday)

No, none whatsoever.  After we had our visit early Monday morning, I felt very comfortable with everything, as he does.

(on if there was anything in particular that he wanted to get straight with Randy Moss when he sat down with him on Monday morning)

Two things, one that I wanted him to know how happy we were to have him here, and secondly I wanted him to be happy to be here.  That was it, that's all I wanted to get across and that was covered in the first couple minutes of the conversation.

(on if he gets the sense that Randy Moss is happy to be a Titan)

Yeah, I do.  This is a good place to work.

(on if the subject of a contract extension for Randy Moss has been brought up)

No, not necessarily.  We discussed it, I said let's have some fun and win some games and we'll address that after the season.
