You focus on Albert's quickness. Here's all I can do to highlight the difference in their respective athleticism:
Fisher is bigger, he's stronger, he's faster, he's quicker, he's more explosive. He is, across the board, a significantly better athlete than Brandon Albert. In many instances it isn't even a close question.
Fisher can truly be a Joe Thomas type of tackle. Now I will listen all day to people that want to debate the value of an elite LT in the modern NFL - it's a legitimate argument.
But this crybaby bullshit from folks that are moping about like there's no way Fisher can ever approach the performance that we got from Albert is just silly. Fisher can be, should be, and in my opinion will be a significantly better all-around LT than Brandon Albert. |
I hope that isn't aimed at me. I said I anticipate he will be about like Albert.
He could be and should be. But so should a litany of other players that aren't. The incremental gain from Albert to Fisher can't be all that huge because Albert is pretty goddamned good.
