Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 8-year vet; played 8 games in 2019 season; tore his achilles in 2020 season. I have my doubts. That said, I think the Colts are stacked on the line, and could slide Fisher into a back-up role.
First Round Bust Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 smart move - they went EDGE like the Bills did in 1st and 2nd round knowing they had Fisher on the hook to plug LT spot with a vet..risk is will he hold up

Definitely have a very good OL there. Never been impressed with Fisher though, so not sure if he will be better than what they have. 1

They were thinking of moving Quentin Nelson over if Fisher is really good, that’s a top 3 OL in Indy. Will make the chiefs look very bad though for cutting him and giving up a 1st round pick to replace him plus a giant pending contract. If he’s not good, it will really affect that OL performance. 1

Before the AFCCG he played all 16 games plus two playoff games in 2020. So I don't think long term durability has been his issue. I think Fischer is a good chance for the Colts to take. They lost their starting LT and didn't draft a tackle in the draft that would be a capable replacement. So going with a vet like Fischer is a sensible chance to take in my opinion. Esp on a one year deal. 2

But they have some backups they are really high on who can slide into the starter role if Fisher can’t recover in time. So, I agree they are paying Fisher to be the starter, but I don’t think they are putting all their eggs in that basket too. I have my doubts about him though. I can’t think of a worse injury for an o-lineman— you are on your toes and exerting quite the strain on your Achilles and calf. 1

Esp on a one year deal. He was really healthy until he turned 30 and has had major injury issues each season since then. I wish him well, but this seems like a lot of money for a 31 year old LT playing on 1 leg. Someone needs to tell Chris Ballard it’s not 2018.

Castanzo was a rock for them for years, but he missed 5 games last season including the playoffs, then he retired LT was a hole for them as far as I knew

GunnerBill Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Never been a huge Fisher guy, unlikely to be healthy by September, team has a huge need at left tackle. meh.

Their passing game got barely 4000 yards (not top 10) and they have 3 receivers over 500 yards (one over 700). Only 24 passing TDs and 20th in pass attempts. Not scared. 1
