BullsandBroncos Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 He's average. Nothing special. At least against the broncos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Didn't he tear his achilles late last year? Is he even going to play this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that he'll be close to ready to go if not completely ready by the time the season starts. That being said, I certainly wouldn't expect him to play well this year, but I've certainly been wrong before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefs_5627 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I just can't envision him being able to play the first quarter of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are really risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there’s no guarantee that will hold true. I think Tevi will start the year before Fisher is ready to take over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but personal connections count and Ballard has a long one with Fisher, so it doesn't overly surprise me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot of short quick passes this year for Wentz, and a lot of ground and pound through the middle with Nelson leading the way. I don’t know what will happen on third and longs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) 9.4M for a guy who's at major risk to be on the PUP? Man, I didn't see that coming. The thing about Achilles' injuries in your late 20's is that return to prior athletic explosion is unlikely, unless you're a quick-twitch freak (Steve Smith, to a lesser extent Manny Sanders). For an interior OL, or a pocket QB, not a big deal. For a LT, man, that is a concern. I get the LT market was pretty thin - I'm kinda surprised Indy didn't want Charles Leno over Fisher, but maybe it's the personal connection angle. Ballard's success gives him more than a little leash here, but it is an eye-opening decision. Guess we'll see how it goes. If Fisher played well for even the 2H of the season, you could certainly justify it. There's just a fair amount of baked-in risk with the injury and position to be more concerned. It makes way more sense if there’s an extra year as a team option. Edited May 10, 2021 by Broncofan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hope he does well. Fish was never great, but he was a steady and reliable LT for a solid 6 or 7 years for us. Considering how much of the top half of the 2013 draft busted, he was a good get for us. But it's definitely a very optimistic outlook on his recovery if they're betting on him recovering in time to be able to be ready week 1. Chiefs weren't willing to be on that.

I don’t know what will happen on third and longs. That seems likely. They've got a really fun offense. Parris Campbell, TY, Pittman, plus Taylor in the backfield. That's an interesting group. Good pass catchers at all levels of the field and a good RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
