AP: Is Donald Stephenson ready to be the Chiefs' starting right tackle?
This thing's a few days old, but I was pretty intrigued by the analysis. This guy previously did a look at Rishaw Johnson in the Chargers game, and here he is looking at Donald Stephenson in the Colts game.
It doesn't answer much (the final conclusion is basically "He's got the potential to be a solid starter") but it does shed some light on the good things that Stephenson did well in the Colts game. Yeah, most of this is sunny and only looks at one of the pressures he gave up, but a zero sack game is a zero sack game. I was also unaware that Alex Smith's strip sack came when Stephenson wasn't on the field and it was instead Schwartz on the play at RT. If someone else wants to copy/paste then be my guest, but with all the images in the post I'm not going to take the time to link each one. http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2014/7...t-mathis-colts |

He can't be worse than Fisher.

I think he's more prepared to play LT than Fisher.
He should be playing LT instead of Fisher until Fisher can play at even a respectable level and hold his on at RT...

"Awsome?" Like his play on the field will make us say "Aw... Alex got sacked again!"
If so, then I agree. |

I really don't know. It's an honest question. When did the injury that required the surgery occur? |

I'm a Fish supporter, but I'm starting to have my doubts...I continue to hope that Bruce Mathews was right about the kid when he said that Fisher has all the tools to be an outstanding LT in the NFL.

I don't know why the coaching staff kept rolling him out there when he was like that. They would have been better off shutting him down halfway through the season to let him recover and get physically prepared for 2014, letting Stephenson start in his place at RT for the remainder of that season. Biggest obstacle was, IMO, there wasn't a viable option left in FA that could fill the swing role effectively had they put Fisher on IR and chose to start Stephenson. |

Oh Yeah, I remember the Mathis strip-sack and subsequent fumble recovery with total control of the ball coming when Sheppard had his big fat ass ON the side line. Had Luck fumbled under those circumstances it would have been properly ruled out of bounds or at the very least inconclusive and possession would have been maintained.
Im not worried about Stephenson. He proved that he can play in more than 1 game. However, I AM worried about Fish, Allen, Hudson, and Johnson...

Hudson had a couple WTF plays last year, but he's still solid. We're good with him. Fisher and Allen are the deeply concerning parts. The entire left flank. Nice job, Dorsey |
