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. .

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...
