Yes I get Fisher struggled mightily he first year starting. Even struggled year 2. He was not anywhere near this bad though.
This is KeiVarae Russell territory. I seriously have to wonder if Andy Heck has brought up the possibility that this kid just isn’t an NFL player and they blipped the pick.
Not trying to be negative here but I just don’t see anything that flashes for him aside from his athleticism on screens.

I'm sure there will be some play by play breakdowns of his performance over the course of the week.
And I don't think they're gonna paint a rosy picture by any means.
But I do think they'll demonstrate that he wasn't out there tripping over his feet on every play. He showed a decent base and functional strength. He showed solid athleticism. He showed some traits.
He just couldn't handle Bonitto at all. Especially when he was out in that 9 position. I'm hopeful someone like Keysor does a breakdown of some of the plays where he was successful because I think there were more than you realize.
There was a play where Mahomes got hit, maybe late 2nd quarter, deeper in our territory. And EVERYONE in the game thread bagged on Kingsley. I really didn't understand it because I specifically watched him on the play and he stood his guy up and then drove him inside into the trash. And eventually Mahomes got hit but it was because the pocket just got pushed in and he held the ball waaaaaay too long. But Kingsley did his job there yet he was still getting trashed because Mahomes took contact.
Maybe I missed it - I'm open to that possibility. But it's certainly not what I saw.
