What if Fisher sucks at RT?
 

Who replaces him there? Stephenson, Schwartz, Allen???

I know he's a rookie, but from what I've been hearing is that he's been struggling in 1on1 drills etc. I know he's switching sides which can be a factor, esp at that high of a level expecting to do as well as you would from your strong side. But should an overall#1 pick be struggling like this, esp at an important position to where he kinda has to be thrown to the wolves early?

And if he ends up having a shitty season. Does this team invest in another tackle early in the draft again next season or go FA? That would drive this board ****in nuts LOL.

Less than a week into camp for a rookie and you are already in panic mode??? :shake:

CHILL THE fuck OUT! I'M SENDING THE WOLF!

Christ people....Bray cant do everything!

If he sucks, serves this team right. Horrible to pick an OT. I know I'm in the minority but I don't even think he was the best one available. Too lean, shitty competition, got TE help.

Yes, Bray can!!!!!!! Tyler's the chosen son that'll ascend us from the QB shitfest in KC. Have faith, he shall prevail in this turmoil.

:facepalm:

How about if we let the team play at least a couple of exhibition games before we declare any player a success or a failure?

You were probably on the Jonathan Baldwin bandwagon last year, weren't you? How did that work out?

I think he will wind up being fine. Going from college to facing Hali and Houston every day is a big jump. Learning from practicing against those two every day will mean that most rushers he faces during the season will seem like blocking tackling dummies.

What if God was one of us?

Yeah, I think I'd be more worried if he was whipping H and H every down.

In all honesty, I remember when When Shields' said that "when an OL is mentioned in any report it's usually bad." Which of course means that their anonymity is a good thing.

Meh, if he's no good we cut him.

I think you go with Stephenson.

Austen Lane with the pass rush of camp. Gets Eric Fisher off balance with a bull rush and plants him on the ground. #Chiefs

Gee, what if your mom sucks me off?

What if he parks his car like a jerk?

Reid Ferrin‏@KCChiefs_Reid1m
BA owning his turf, not letting defenders around the corner or inside the edge #blindsideprotection #ChiefsCamp

Except he's apparently getting beat by everyone

Cut Albert. He sucks too.

That's a little different than getting planted on his ass.


I was worried about Fisher when he said he needs to eat 7000 cals a day to get up to his playing weight. That means he's a pretty small guy naturally that has to work his ass off to get up to 300lbs. Those type of lineman always worry me as opposed to the 320 guy that has to cut 10-15lbs to get into playing shape.

what is CoMo sucks at posting?

Number one pick, he'll be fine

I would have (never drafted a ****ing LT/RT with the no 1 pick) preferred Joeckel...

Move him to QB?

What if the moon were made of barbecue spare ribs?

What if he looks like this?

i dont even want to think about if hes not all world all pro hall of fame

AAll linemen eat 5000-7000 calories a day. U need that much to maintain that weight because of the amount of calories they burn in practice and workouts.

LMAO

Great. He bloated himself up for the combine. His playing weight is probably 290-295.

Would Eric Fisher eat it? I know I would. Then I would wash it down with a tall cool Budweiser.

Luckily for us, he can eat all the BBQ that Dontari Poe is giving up....

What if Fisher sucks at RT?

Then you draft another RT with your first pick in the draft next year and give Alex Smith a $60 million dollar extension to see what he can do when you surround him with the right 53.

ROFLROFLROFL:LOL:

That is SO Lil' Chiefy...

Regarding the 2013 draft, Joe Staley may turn out to be the worst thing to have happened to the chiefs

Give it up dude

1st that's not true and 2nd he does that year round.

http://www.bobgretz.com/chiefs-footb...ic-fisher.html

From the time he left Stoney Creek High School in suburban Detroit, to his standing now on the cusp of the first round of the NFL Draft, Eric Fisher gained 70 pounds.

Working on a diet that at times reached 6,000 calories a day he went from 240, to 265, to 275, to 295, to 310 pounds. And, along the way he didn’t just gain weight; he built himself into a first-round choice in the 2013 NFL Draft.

A lot of people sure are sensitive about Eric Fisher.

The guy will probably be a good player in the league, but I think we all knew the huge overwhelming odds we were facing if he would ever even sniff his #1 overall value. That's always been why he was a shitty pick.

especially since he was drafted originally to be the right tackle, Anthony davis was supposed to be the LT of the future.

And, staley was the 22nd pick.

Why is the sky blue?

How many calories do you think a 300+ lb player burns during daily practices and workouts?
Posted via Mobile Device

I think 500 would be very generous.

Again you totally missed the point. This was a 245lb kid that bulked up to 310 by eating a shit load of cals. He wasn't 280-300 coming out of HS as a lot of highly recurited lineman are.

http://www.maxpreps.com/football-rec...p-recruits.htm

Probably a lot.. Which is why he'll probably lose 10 pounds during the season if he can only get up to 300-305 in the offseason.

You understand that a 300 lb man burns ~500 calories with just a 30 minute aerobic workout, don't you? Just standing for a hour burns ~170 calories if you weigh 300 lbs. Walking back and forth between the dorms and practice 2x/day will burn ~300 calories.

He was picked on potential - not what he'd accomplished at the college ranks...

There are many factors that would need to be considered, but the point still stands that this is a small guy that bulked up.

Knock yourself out.

I guess it's possible depending on many factors including muscle mass, natural metabolic rate, blah blah blah which that calculator doesn't take into consideration.

Regardless this is a small kid that had to work to make himself the size of an NFL OT. If Albert ate what this kid does he would weigh over 350.

I think he's struggling because he's just not quick enough playing the right side techniques. He's an LT and even though he played some RT (during HS?) doesn't mean shit when you're going against pros and you haven't played that side recently.

He's a pretty smart guy -- I expect he'll be at least serviceable come JAX.

By quick do you mean agility or smarts?...

thinking technique, then playing, not playing & reacting. plus he is learning a pretty sophisticated offensive blocking scheme all at the same time. a lot to do mentally there.

Then he's an even shittier pick than I thought.

He's a compromise of safety and potential all at a position so undervalued that the number of his kind that have been drafted #1 overall can be counted on one hand.

So he's got poor "muscle memory."

I get it.

It also explains why we drafted him...

He's like every 1st round pick (save Berry) for the last 10 years...

this hand wringing is laughable. lets pump the breaks with the bullshit speculation and hypotheticals.

Oh c'mon now. This is Chiefs Planet.

Eric Fisher was a shitty pick.

Sorry, it's true. The man is going to have to be an all-time great to make picking him at #1 overall worth it. "Safe" and "good" just doesn't ****ing cut it.

Lol this thread. If anyone is AT the practices will notice most of the time he looks 100% the part. The only time anyone reports anything is when he does make a mistake. Is he All-Pro at this second, no but that doesn't mean he looks horrible out there. He is just a rookie getting better as training camp goes. Heck Albert still gets beat during practice as well. Wouldn't expect anything but overreacting on this board.

Again, there isn't much of a chance of Fisher being a bust. He's already playing like a pretty good player.

Being a good player isn't the issue, though. We need him to be better than good for the draft pick (not to mention the money) we've invested in him.

JFC people, step back from the ledge. The kid's a rookie who changed positions & is facing some pretty good talent. Give it some time

Yeah. I biked 30 miles yesterday, it was about 75 degrees. It says I burned 1600 calories. Im sure he is burning well over 2000 a day when you factor in the lifting, and practicing in pads in heat.....

all that's good and well, but even if he isn't his peak for 3 years, so what.

I read through the entire thread and didn't see the true fan gif, this place is slipping.

Move him to LT, move Albert to Guard and put Stephenson or Schwartz at RT. Or swap Fisher with Albert and see how that works. If the reports of Fisher's upside are correct, he'll be fine at RT in time.

What if Alex Smiff is awesome this year? Do we trade Bray? Do we trade Alex? Do we shit our pants?

I'd like to try the shit our pants option for $200 alex.

Then you key the side of his car, bust out all his windows, and loosen his lug nuts/Frazod

What if someone takes away your ability to make threads? :facepalm:

If it happens in mid-air, will anyone care?

Trade Alex. Bray is going to be a beast. And once Alexs contract is up, he walks.....

This

And then sucked at sucking LMAO

What if people stopped creating stupid threads? What would we do then?

.

If Fisher sucks at RT, we'll win 7 games.

If he's an All Pro, we'll win 7 games.

Right tackle. Very important position.

Listening to 810... they're reporting that Fisher is having his worst day of camp yet. Getting bullrushed by scrubs like Austen Lane...
