I just rewatched all of the offensive snaps for Notre Dame against Ohio with the purpose of really watching Blake Fisher and I am trying to figure out why he is not in the talk for RT? This kid blames a very solid brand of football and frankly against Ohio State he held up just as well as Alt did. Fisher completely shut down Sawyer.This is what nfldraftbuzz said about him.
I am going to be watching more film on Fisher to see if there is something I am missing but as of now I do not see a glaring deficiency in this kids game at RT. Let me know what you know about this kid.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front, and Fisher shows an excellent understanding of angles when moving out as a run blocker.
- In the run game does a nice job generating a push at the initial point of attack. Fisher can get outside and does a decent job landing blocks in space.
- As a pass protector, he plays with good balance and holds up against the bull rush. He has strong hands and does a nice job gripping and latching on once he has his hands on the pass rusher.
- Fisher is a work in progress with high-end physical traits. He’s extremely light on his feet for a 300-pounder, a natural knee-bender who plays with balance and leverage.
- Bursts off the line of scrimmage and has tremendous natural strength and power, able to dominate at the point of attack and wipe out defenders in the run game.
- In pass protection, he flashes a strong initial punch and typically has good hand placement.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has enough power in the run game, but at times Fisher seems to lack a mean streak.
- He’s shaky as a pass protector, which is troublesome for the next level. Fisher often plays too high with an inconsistent kick slide.
- Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap.
I think the kid has solid potential.
