Fisher officially in at RT for Monday
http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl...e36702456.html
Eric Fisher to start at right tackle for Chiefs on Monday vs. Packers BY TEREZ A. PAYLOR tpaylor@kcstar.com Eric Fisher will return to the starting lineup Monday night at Green Bay, Chiefs coach Andy Reid announced Saturday. Fisher, 24, has missed the Chiefs’ last five games as he recovers from a high ankle sprain. He will start at right tackle for Jah Reid, who has started the Chiefs’ first two regular-season games. Fisher was expected to be ready to start at right tackle in the Chiefs’ season opener, but sources told The Star he opted out of the lineup because of concern over his high ankle sprain. Chiefs coach Andy Reid, however, maintained afterward he made the decision to sit Fisher because of the ankle injury. Despite the injury, Fisher has logged three offensive snaps as a reserve at left tackle and 10 special-teams snaps as a blocker on the field-goal unit in the Chiefs’ first two games. He has not played right tackle since his rookie year in 2013, but Reid said Fisher has “done well” in practice this week. “I mean, he had played over there for the year, his first year,” Reid said. “He’s a pretty good athlete. Easy adjustment.” Fisher is listed as probable on the injury report, along with fellow offensive lineman Jeff Allen, who has also missed the Chiefs’ last five games, including preseason, because of a MCL sprain in his knee. “He had a better week this week, so he’s pretty close to 100 percent,” Reid said of Allen. Allen, a full-time starter at left guard in 2013 who missed almost all of 2014 because of injury, opened training camp as the starter at right guard but was inserted as the starting right tackle in the Chiefs’ preseason opener against Arizona, where he injured his knee. |

He's only played 3 snaps on offense and got his ass kicked for a sack on one of them.
It sucks that he has been so injury prone since, literally, his first practice when I was 20 feet away and Austen Lane was destroying him. He has shown flashes of being a good player, but at this point in his career...the bad outweighs the good. He needs to stay healthy and show marked improvement this year of he wants any chance of the team picking up that silly dollar amount for his fifth year option that needs picked up after this year. Otherwise, next year will be his last one in KC and after the huge investment in him, we REALLY need him to pan out on the right and for Dorsey to lock up Stephenson long term. If Fisher and LDT can solidify that right side, this line has a chance to be flat out nasty once it gels. |

Fisher didn't cause that sack. He pushed the first wave back. Alex held onto the ball too long.

The hell he didn't. Did it get called back or something because I remember him getting whipped.

Amusing but true
Fisher pushed the guy 10 feet around Smith and then started looking for another guy to block. He didn't realize that Smith was going to hold onto to it for 10 minutes. Next time i imagine Fisher will push him clear to the sideline until they both can get a drink of water even though he shouldn't have to

You would be pissed too if you lost your starting job, not because the other guy was better than you, but because the other guy was so shitty at his own.
LT - Fisher barely better than Stephenson RT - Fisher significantly better than Stephenson They move Fisher because Stephenson was so much better at Fisher's position than his own. I still think Stephenson was sandbagging at RT because he wants to go into FA as a LT this year.
