The Titans faced the Falcons last night. And Jeff Fisher says he's going to call the league about Alex Gibbs' OL.

"I've been around a lot of preseason games and never seen some of the things I saw out of their offensive line. I'm disappointed and I am going to call the league," Fisher said yesterday. "There are a couple things where player safety was really brought into question and I want to make sure the league is aware of it."

We play the Falcons in our last preseason game. And my hope is that the league will slap Gibbs before then, because the last thing we need is a George Foster-Tony Williams incident....or what happened last night on the INT....in a meaningless preseason game.

On Rocky Boiman's fourth-quarter interception, King hit defensive end Antwan Odom low and away from the play, but the Titans were whistled for a 15-yard personal foul on the return.

The officials called the penalty on the Titans No. 66 (Joe Minucci) instead of Falcons No. 66 (King).

"Totally, totally unnecessary, the kind of thing we showed on the tape from a rules standpoint on player safety," Fisher said. "Blatant intent to hurt one of our defensive linemen, yet somehow the official on the spot got it wrong and he penalized us."
