And I will never understand all the love for Orlando Brown I see on here. To me he looks like a big, very strong, but plodding tackle, with no chance to stop the outside speed rush.
I never said I "love" Brown, but I often like prospects who put out good tape, but slip due to combine numbers. Didn't Brown allow like 1 sack last year? But with his long arms he couldn't throw up 225 many times.
Look at Burfict's combine. Anquan Boldin's. Sometimes guys can just play. If we can get a guy who looked great and slipped for reasons other than his actual play, I'm usually for it.
Like I said though, I'm not ready to throw away Fisher yet. I also wouldn't hand him the job without competition. I don't think he's quite earned that based on his play.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
