PFF: Poor game from Fisher

[Hammock Parties]

Yup. Very poor game.

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.

I'm looking forward to see how he plays against Woodley. The starters on both teams should play for a while so we should get a good look.

1.1 BABY!!

Don't worry guys. That's how they're supposed to look.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

That's pitiful.

I'm not so sure about this one. I think this might have been a busted screen play. Both Albert and Fisher and making the "weak block push him into the backfield" move... Watch Albert's eyes go to where the RB should be, looking for the pass...

I would rather of used that 1.1 on a playmaker and have Stephenson at RT and sign Albert long term.

That's just silly talk.

It's early. This guy could be a ten year starter at RT. He could go to Pro Bowls.

Why would you want some sort of flashy pick that's always trying to make it all about him and spiking the football in the endzone? Doing silly dances and high fiving and stuff...

[penbrook]

Well right now through 2 pre season games Stephenson is better than Fisher. Doesn't mean it can't change

I don't know. I just don't see him getting dominated in the trench fights as others saw. In terms of actual trench battles, he was outbattled (but not really dominated) by a tremendous talent in McDonald on short yardage situations, and he was pretty average in other battles. Not the elite talent you want to see out of a Right Tackle, but given his inexperience against top competition, at the Right Tackle position, and possibly battling hand issues, his level of play in trench fights can easily be explained away.

I'm in full agreement. People just freak becasue he was taken 1.1. People in KC don't know this but former Oiler Bruce Mathews, perhaps the best O-Lineman ever, was ABUSED his first year where he once gave up 4 sacks in 1 game to the Dallas Cowboys and I believe 3 of them were to Ed "Too-Tall" Jones. He went on to play every position on the OL and become All Pro at 3 of them and was voted to the Pro Bowl 14 times...Patience.

Oh yeah, man.

I think Alex Smith could be the next Rich Gannon too.

Good clips.

Notice how little he uses his right hand in those gifs. Think it's pretty clear that his hand is bothering him. In some cases, he's overcompensating. There's one clip where he throws his shoulder at the guy. In others, he tries to block the guy with one hand. In another, he has happy feet -- he looks almost worried to throw that punch in there. That's different from the way he played in college.

Bruce Mathews got off to the same kind of start as Eric Fisher is off to. It took years before he reached his potential. (Drafted in 1983 was 1st team All Pro 1988 and never looked back) Even a dipshit like you knows that and knows what kind of player he turned out to be...IF Fisher is half the player, the Chiefs have a very good one.
