He also was facing elite pass rushers for really the first time in his life. Neither in high school nor college did he face the type of big, strong, fast guys with a full range of moves and counter moves to get to the passer that he did last year.

I AM glad they took Fisher over Joeckel because Fisher's upside is at least higher.

And I do think there are some reasons to be HOPEFUL that Fisher can improve more with time and be a better fit at LT.

Just like I think there are also just as many, if not more, reasons to be skeptical of the wisdom of handing Fisher the LT job this year, considering what happened last year.
