Turk71 Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Great downfield blocker. He excelled in college on the move run blocking in space.
hemma Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 They seem to be serious about getting the run game back on track. Was pretty sad last year.
brianb386 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I don't expect that Fisher will ever be a top notch receiving TE, but if he can develop into a solid blocking TE who has a but of recieving talent, that would be good to have. 1
Logic Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I'm an admitted optimist, but I like the signing. First of all, he comes with 2nd round pedigree as an offensive lineman, so putting him on the field as a tight end should be a real boon to the running game. Secondly, having him in goal line jumbo packages should present one more tool in Daboll's toolbox. Third, these are the type of "low risk, high reward" signings I always like. The Bills have literally NOTHING to lose by giving this a try. There's no guarantee he even makes the team. Fourth, his addition gives the Bills just a little bit more draft day flexibility, as they now have three tight ends on the roster: a classic in-line guy (Kroft), a move tight end/receiving option (Croom), and a blocking specialist (Fisher). While we all want and expect a rookie to be drafted at tight end, it is no longer QUITE such a dire need, from a "personnel already on board" standpoint. Between this and Mo Alexander and hosting Quinton Spain, I'm liking what I'm seeing from "wave 2" of Bills free agency. 5

billsfan89 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Kind of a funky experimental signing. I really like it since it's low risk and innovative. 1
Bookie Man Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Getting creative on the edge? TE is technically an edge.. 2
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Be nice if he turns out to be the reverse Jason Peters! Some big big guys have great hands but their weight slows them down. 285 is still big enough to block DE and linebackers and he should be quick enough to get out for a catch or block DB’s. 1
Fan in Chicago Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Goal line packages will now have Fisher as tackle eligible and Gore at RB.

People keep saying this, but Fisher is signed and rostered as a tight end. So wouldn't he just line up as one of the usual 2 or 3 TEs in the goal-line package? I don't see why we'd have a tight end up line up as tackle. His addition still strengthens the goal line package, don't get me wrong, it just does so in a different way: Some poor linebacker or safety is going to be blocked by a converted tackle. Good look to that poor chump! 1
