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. |

Tyson Jackson is a much larger bust than Fisher simply based on salary.

Jamarcus, Courtney Brown, Carter. Fisher is easily not bottom 3. If Fisher ends up being even a quality backup, he'll beat out Couch, Carr, and Emtman. Would even throw in Jeff George. We're also comparing Fisher to a bunch of hyped consensus #1 picks. You can't compare him to Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck because there was no consensus #1 in the class. It was the best of the worst. So we can't compare Fisher to other #1's. We have to compare him to the top 10 of his class. And if he is even just an average starter at RT, he'll already be better than most of the top 10 in that class. I still hate the Fisher pick. But JFC, can we please cut it out with the exaggeration? |

He isn't a huge bust. Just a giant puss.

The season that the Texans signed Shaub, the same O-Line, with one "upgrade", Jordan Black, commonly referred to a "I-70" in Kansas City, gave up half as many sacks as they did the previous season with Carr at QB. Alex Smith is slow on his progressions, but I am not sure that Carr even ever heard of the concept. That guy was the William Bartee of QBs.

Just leave LDT at RG and let him develop If they stay healthy Stephenson,Grubb,Morse,LDT,Fisher should be our Oline for the rest of the year. Allen and Reid can be our swing backups.

(And, for what it's worth, the coaching staff was really on Allen's jock in the summer, saying he was the best O-lineman out there. Guy has just had some shit luck in terms of injury and might just best serve the team as the main backup at this point.) I think that they could potentially upgrade Reid in the next draft, but he's a young player and could potentially develop into that decent swing tackle type of guy. If Fisher can stay healthy from here on out and they can build some continuity, I think it's a pretty good and deep (but young) offensive line. One that you can really build up going forward from this point on. |

My only hope is that Fisher kicks as tomorrow night.
If not, the position may be a swinging door all season. |

All based on the Alex release time divided by how long he holds it.
