Quote:All I am saying is Eric Fisher looks a lot better than LJ and this is his first year playing LT. Not saying he is a bust, just saying he hasn't justified the FO move to get rid of Monroe yet.

 

Eric Fisher was one of the worst tackles in football last year, and has been just ok
so far in the regular season, he was abused by defensive linemen in the preseason. Give it time, it usually takes 2-3 years for these tackles to come into their own, most of them don't live up to their draft status until year 3 (Tyron Smith, Trent Williams, Eugene Monroe etc..). Rarely do you see young LT's come into league stymying defensive ends that have been in an NFL weight training program for years, it takes time, added strength, and shoring up their technique.
