He's an OL player. His area of the field is merely a few square yards. players like this need to be able to keep their balance while blocking, which requires fast foot speed. Not sure why you don't get that from this discussion, but hey.. that's what we want from linemen, is footspeed to recover, footspeed to move in all directions, too, including laterally, to keep in front of pass rushers.

Stephenson doesn't move in any direction better/quicker than Fisher. Not imo. If that's your opinion, okay. But links to other opinions just don't weigh as heavily as simply watching these two players on the field.

If they don't put Fisher at LT when Albert leaves, I'll acknowledge your victory here. But if Fisher is the future LT & Stephenson is not, I think my point is proven.

Fish has $#it leverage, strength, and mobility compared to 2/3rds the teams we've played.

Offensive line battles are won by:

1) First touch and ability to direct contact. Be explosive and the first to direct the battle.

2) Leverage. You either have it or you don't...

Or they put Fisher at LT because of his draft position.

I don't. It was well documented that Andy sees em as interchangeable.

The good news is that i don't care either way, as long as what they decide on works.
