PFF: Poor game from Fisher

[Hammock Parties]

Yup. Very poor game.

Rookie Rollicking

I’m not in the business of making excuses for someone, but how bad is the hand of Eric Fisher (-4.5)? I ask because his performance was of such a level and he seemed to be favoring his hand so often, that the question had to be asked: are the Chiefs doing the right thing getting him game time as opposed to letting him heal?

He had to leave the field after Will Tukuafu got the better of him with 4:05 to go in the first and yet he would return to finish out the first half. That wasn’t the only time he struggled as Ray McDonald was too powerful for him at the point of attack on the opening drive, having no problem working on his inside shoulder and getting off his blocking attempts.

In pass protection, Parys Haralson (hurry and sack), Corey Lemonier (hurry) and Ahmad Brooks (hurry with an assist from some hands to the face) all got past him, while he failed on two occasions to execute cut blocks on stretch runs.

More is expected of the first overall pick.

As I said, if this keeps up in the regular season, I'll have issues but I'm reserving judgement until then.

It's gonna be a looooong season. Unfortunately there aren't many more good times to discuss right now.

If gochiefs starts an Eric Berry is a stud thread with .gifs from this last game, I'd be all about it.

Same here, but he won't and if you go back to what brought me into this thread, it's the fact that he won't, that has me the most bothered.

Who gives a shit about Eric Berry beating the shit out of San Francisco's 2nd team?

My livelihood depends on the health of my hands. I recently broke my hand and couldn't work for 6 weeks. Sure, hand injuries are a part of being an offensive lineman; but if its a bad enough injury. The guy can't do what he's on the field to do.

Agreed. I personally believe there is a POSSIBILITY his hand is absolutely ****ed and needs surgery. I also think that surgery COULD lead to him missing the majority of if not the entirety of his rookie year. If this is the case, he and the coaches likely chose to try and play the season with the messed up hand and get surgery at the end of the season. That may not price to be an option.

Also, this is a far out there possibility, but would explain a lot.

Yup. You can be a man and take the guy you want and say "scouts and value be damned". Bills did it.

The bills traded down to do it. They didn't sit there at 8 and take him. Come on. If they weren't taking a qb, which they weren't, the only option to take was oline. Brendan Albert hadn't signed his tag, and they didn't have an oline. People forget that.

Ya' Know, I like to watch "The Warriors" and "Star Wars" at least once a year.

"Moulin' Rouge", aka "KC picks another shitty QB", not so much.

But hey; that's just me.

Hey.

Jim Broadbent is a saint.

We aren't EXPECTING the worst you ****. We're SEEING it. The future has yet to be seen and may be bright, yes. But right now, we can only speak of what we've seen. So either get us a ****ing crystal ball so we can talk about the future, fall in line and discuss what we've seen, or kick rocks. It's pretty ****ing simple really.

I've watched the starters multiple times, you're stories of Albert's struggle are an exaggeration. Much like your opinion of Bowe.
