Jeff Fisher says he doesn't regret adding Randy Moss


Even though veteran wide receiver Randy Moss hasn't caught a pass in two games and has only five receptions for 62 yards since joining the Tennessee Titans, coach Jeff Fisher says he doesn't regret acquiring him.
“It was not a mistake whatsoever," Fisher said today, per TitanInsider. "If I had to do it again, of course, I would do it. Randy has been great for his team. The numbers aren't great, the production is not there right now, the play time is not there, because Kenny (Britt) is coming back. But Randy is a great teammate. He works with the young guys and has fun, and it's great to have him around. We've really enjoyed him.”
Britt's return has severely reduced Moss' role.
“He, by no means, has been anything but great and understanding and understands where we are, and he knew when he came in the kind of player Kenny was, and he's been a really good influence on Kenny here of late. I think he gets satisfaction of seeing Kenny be productive,” Fisher said. “He's bought into what we're doing. He's a pro, and he's been a great influence in the locker room for us."
Has Moss lost it?
“He was getting rotation early in the first two or three weeks, and we had some opportunities in the Washington game that we were unable to capitalize on,” Fisher said. “He's practicing fine. He's making plays (in practice). You see him make plays and run by people on the practice field. It just hasn't happened (in games).”
I guess it's too bad the NFL doesn't keep statistics for practice performances.
