TRANSCRIPT: Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher, 7-31-12
Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher – Training Camp – July 31, 2012
(On calling the team together during the latter end of practice)
“Typically, over time we’ve come to realize that the third day there’s an increased pull history so we intended on just kind of taking a moment and getting stretched out so we didn’t have any fatigue issues and fatigue pulls in the weather.”
(On how practices have changed over the years working in the heat)
“Yeah, we’re much more aware. We’re an air-conditioned society now. In the old days we weren’t. We spent summertime outside. Remember when you got in trouble, some of the older ones, when we got in trouble mom said, ‘Go to your room,’ you know? They say that now, you go to your room and you go ‘Yeah cool, we got all kinds of stuff to do in the room,’ you know? So, moms need to say go outside, I guess. But we’re very much aware of it. We’re weighing players in before and after each practice to make sure that they’re replacing the fluids in their weight, and so that was an outstanding effort today. That was not easy. We had one neutral zone violation on defense in this heat, which is pretty impressive.”
