Jeff Fisher says getting Randy Moss 'not a mistake'

"When the Titans claimed Randy Moss last month, some NFL analysts called him the missing piece needed for a Super Bowl run.

As things turned out, he's just been missing.

Not only did Moss go without a catch in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Texans, but also for the second straight game he wasn't even targeted by quarterback Kerry Collins. In six games with the Titans, one of the greatest receivers of all-time has pretty much been a non-factor.

Coach Jeff Fisher, however, said adding Moss to the roster "was not a mistake whatsoever" even though his statistics have been lackluster.

"If we had to do it over, of course we would do it," Fisher said Monday. "He has been great. Randy has been great for this team. The numbers aren't there, the production is not there, the play time is not there right now because Kenny (Britt) is coming back. But Randy is a great teammate. He works with the young guys and has fun, so it is great to have him around. We have really enjoyed him.''

The Titans claimed Moss off waivers from the Vikings on Nov. 3, picking up the remaining $3.4 million of his salary in the process.

Moss arrived with 948 catches, 14,778 yards and 153 touchdowns — Hall of Fame-worthy numbers — but in six games with the Titans he has five catches for 62 yards.

When he went without a catch against the Colts and Texans, it was the first time in Moss' 13-year career that he went reception-less in two straight games.

When Britt returned from a hamstring injury Dec. 9 against the Colts, Moss faded even deeper into the background. Yet the coach said Moss, who played less than a dozen snaps against the Texans, hasn't complained.

"Everybody would like to have 10 catches for 200 yards. He's had such great games and such a great career, but it just hasn't worked out that way,'' Fisher said."
