Green Bay vs. Tennessee - Postgame Quotes - Tennessee

Regular Season - Packers Win 30-22

HEAD COACH JEFF FISHER:
"We knew we had to play one of our better games to win. We expected to do so. However, we spotted them a couple of touchdowns -- one, it was confused coverage, on the other a guy slipped and we are down 14 points."

"This was a very disappointing loss. We thought we could play with them. Unfortunately, we didn't."

"We have to win next week; we'll come back."

(on the first Packers touchdown) "Our formation players were in a different position -- they blitzed instead of covering."

"We made some adjustments, but when Brett scrambles it is difficult to stop the big play."

"We hoped to run on the Packers, but they also are very good against the run. We couldn't get on track."

"The Packers had three plays in the first half. We figured at halftime we had a chance and only had to make two plays. We had to make someone miss, but didn't."

"You can't play against a team like Green Bay and give up the big plays. We made some mistakes, the Green Bay Packers don't make mistakes."

"We expected to take a bigger step today."

DEFENSIVE BACK ANTHONY DORSETT:
"We hoped for something to happen (as the game went on), but we were not getting it done."

RIGHT TACKLE JON RUNYAN:
(on Reggie White) "He comes on hard. He's one of the best players in the history of the league, and I'm glad I had a chance to play against him."

"(Reggie) is a great player. He caught me a couple of times, but I had my buddies help me out. I just tried to execute against him."

LEFT TACKLE BRAD HOPKINS:
"We gave them three TDs, and it was 'Hello.' That put us in a hole that we couldn't dig ourselves out of."

WIDE RECEIVER YANCEY THIGPEN:
"Passing is execution -- they did it. We pride ourselves on being able to run the ball. Today, we didn't adjust."

"Early and even late in the third quarter, we thought we had a chance (to win). "We do have to win next week."

KICKER AL DEL GRECO:
"This game brought up a bit of memories. It was great that a lot of people remembered me -- that was nice."

RUNNING BACK EDDIE GEORGE:
"They have a very good defense."

"We're hoping for the best to get into the playoffs."

"The Packers are great on defense; we didn't execute."

"We have to be patient, we have to keep running the ball."

"We tried a lot of different things, but couldn't find success. We didn't get the penetration. We tried to go outside, then tried inside -- they just have a great defense."
