It seems like every time he catches it he ends up in the end zone,

That is the good news. The bad news is that there are a lot of things that he has to perfect technique-wise to be able to utilize all of those things. We'll see how it all comes together. We'll have to decide exactly what the best way try to use him is and also how that works in with the other skill players that we have on offense and how the whole thing meshes together. It is a long process, but he is a good guy to work with.

We can't do much of anything. We don't know what we're working with. Until that's defined, it seems like an exercise in futility.

When you allow your opponent to rush for 160-170 yards and you tackle as poorly as we did ... it makes it tough to win,'' said Fisher, whose Titans dropped to 3-2, 1 12 games behind 4-0 Indianapolis, which plays at Tampa Bay on Monday night.

There's a lot of love between us -- me, Charlie, Romeo. We've been together with the Giants, the Patriots, the Jets and the Patriots again. For it to be able to end this way ... the only word I can think of is 'special.'

When you have a football team, everybody has a role on it. And Ro's role, for the most part in the last couple of years, . . . was to get the defense ready. Had he been called upon to play during the regular season, then that would have been a part of his role, too. But, for the most part, it wasn't.
