THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Jeff Fisher thought Jared Goff handled his NFL debut splendidly.The Los Angeles Rams coach isnt so happy with his prized rookie quarterbacks teammates after another winnable game slipped away and left their playoff hopes in peril.One week after Goffs promotion, Fisher is considering more lineup changes for the Rams (4-6) before their trip to New Orleans on Sunday. The coach cited Los Angeles eight penalties for 70 yards as the biggest reason for a dispiriting 14-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins.Its those things that are hurting us, and those guys have to understand, Fisher said Monday. So there potentially may be some different guys playing this week.Although Aaron Donald and Alec Ogletree arent going to lose their jobs, Fisher mentioned both of his defensive captains by name for ill-advised penalties on Miamis two touchdown drives after the LA defense excelled on the first 54 minutes.Any lineup changes are much more likely to occur on offense, where errors also abounded.Left tackle Greg Robinson drew Fishers specific ire for his latest bad penalty in a career full of them: An illegal block far behind the play to negate an 11-yard scramble by Goff into Dolphins territory for a first down in the fourth quarter.Robinson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 draft, is the NFLs most-penalized player over the past two seasons with 28 flags.Were looking at everything right now, Fisher said. We need production. We need to minimize mistakes, and weve got some repeat mistake-makers, so thats still under discussion.Fisher might change his starters, but he said he wont change his coaching staff this season. He gave a vote of confidence to Rob Boras, his offensive coordinator and play-caller.I have not given any consideration to changing play-callers, Fisher said. I did that last year. I have confidence in Rob, and the offense has confidence in Rob. The offense knows that right now, theyre not doing what they should be doing.Fisher replaced offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti with Boras in St. Louis last December while the Rams were mired in 31st place in total offense. Los Angeles is back in 31st place after 10 games this season, averaging a mere 299.9 yards per game.Fisher sees no reason to blame Goff, who went 17 of 31 for 134 yards with no touchdowns and no turnovers. His longest completion went 21 yards, and the Rams didnt call many long passes to test the rookies big arm.I was impressed with what he did, Fisher said. Hes not going to say he was OK, because we lost, but I thought he managed things well. No delay of games. He was in complete control. ... We didnt take our shots down the field that, in retrospect, we probably needed to do, but he knew where to go with the football. I was proud of his first outing. We get a stop or intercept a pass, one of the two or three we had our hands on, to win the game, and were talking about Jared right now and nothing else.Just as Case Keenum was rarely the problem during the Rams recent four-game losing streak, Goff was far from the most glaring problem for the Rams. Fisher thought the No. 1 overall pick handled his first start with minimal jitters, as did Dolphins coach Adam Gase.I thought he did a pretty good job as far as what we were bringing at him, Gase said. We were trying to pressure him a little bit, give him some different looks, and he didnt really seem bothered by much of it.Game notes Fisher is still gathering information to make a decision about CB Troy Hill, who was inactive after getting arrested Saturday morning following a freeway crash. I spoke to him briefly today, Fisher said of Hill, who has started four games this season. Very disappointed in him. Disappointed in his choices. ... LB Josh Forrest is probably out for the season after injuring his knee Sunday, Fisher said. The rookie from Kentucky has been a solid special-teams contributor. LB Nic Grigsby is likely to be promoted from the practice squad to replace him for the final six games.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Evan Longoria Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Two days in a row, Thiago Braz da Silva was celebrated as a national hero in the Olympic Stadium. Both days, Renaud Lavillenie was booed by the home crowd.International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach thinks enough is enough.The IOC leader described the booing that echoed around the stands during Tuesdays medal ceremony for the pole vault as shocking behavior, saying it was unacceptable at the Olympics.It reduced Lavillenie to tears, which streamed down his face at the ceremony.I wish this on no one, he said, again shocked that thousands of people would boo him again.Da Silva had an upset win over the defending champion late Monday, and thousands of fans kept on booing the Frenchman as he tried to reclaim the gold-medal position during the thrilling, late-night duel.The raucous booing was meant to unsettle the non-Brazilian. It did. Lavillenie, instead of concentrating solely on his final jump, gave them the thumbs down.Lavillenie condemned the behavior of the crowd soon after his event finished, saying nothing like it had been seen since Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Hitlers propaganda games. He quickly apologized and retracted hiis statement, but maintained that the Brazilian fans in the stadium were disregarding the Olympic spirit.ddddddddddddf this is a nation where they only want Brazil and they spit on others, then you should not organize the Olympics, he said in the early hours of Tuesday, comments unlikely to endear him with the host nation.So he pretty much knew what was coming when the ceremony for the medal presentations.I expected some whistles, and it would have shocked me, but I didnt expect it to be so violent, he said.During the medal ceremony, Da Silva raised his arms to calm the fans and applauded the silver medal of world-record holder Lavillenie, who won gold four years ago in London. Soon the tears were rolling down Lavillenies face, and it was not because he won the silver medal.I held it till the moment I no longer could, he said.Lavillenie was consoled later by Da Silva and pole vault great Sergei Bubka, an IOC member.After the ceremony, the stadium announcer for the remainder of competition reminded fans for the utmost respect for all athletes.
