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. |

I would like to add on what you're saying. First off I agree he will play better than Reid and that cpers will crucify him for every mistake he makes tonight. And then they'll say better than bad does not equal good. |

Four sacks allowed against Watt and Denver's pass rushers with a makeshift RT starting both games?
Yeah. I'd say our OL is going to be fine. TEX and a bunch of other preseason drama queens can suck my fat cock |

Tough for opposing teams to generate sacks when the QB is taking 3 step drops and throwing the ball behind the LOS. Also tough to convert 3rd downs.

We did that because of the top 5 pass rusher assortments we faced. Also because Jah Reid had less than a week to get ready to go. The true starter is now in place, the defenses are getting easier, and our last remaining weak spot will undoubtedly improve (LDT). The goal from the beginning was minimal investment and good enough play. Mission success. Our OL is good enough. It's midtier. I'm happy with that and everybody else who's not a flaming reerun should be as well |

I doubt GB has any kind of passrush compared to Denver and Houston.

Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers will give our guys more than they can handle. I'm thinking 2+ sacks and 8+ pressures, and at least 1 FF.

Peppers and Matthews don't even make one Watt.

Chiefs gotta draft a first round QB bro. That's how our OL and CB problems get fixed, right Clay?
