Sexy pick, ain't it.
I think there were larger issues with the o-line this week. They all looked out of synch. Which probably shouldn't be a surprise at this point with all the changes. Hopefully they're gelled by week 1.

I think we mostly see eye to eye on this. The part we disagree on is where Fisher should be at this point AS THE FIRST OVERALL PICK IN THE DRAFT.
I guess I have higher expectations for the pick.
I expect to see him just maul second stringers to death occasionally. A couple times a game I'd like to see him win lopsided 1on1 battles and I just haven't seen that even one play.
Not in ps
Not with my own eyes in camp
Nothing.
In fact, to the contrary, I HAVE seen him get blown up more than a few times
Against starters in a game
Against backups in a game
Against starters in practice
Against backups in practice
Against SCRUBS in practice that got cut from 2 win football teams he got "walked like a dog"
Does any of this mean he will be a bust or even close to it?
No
Should all of this be a huge red flag early in his career?
Yes, and to ignore these signs would be just as bad as calling him a bust.
