Fisher Willing To Play RT
Central Michigan T Eric Fisher said he is willing to play right tackle as a rookie.
"Oh yeah, I think I'm a very versatile player," Fisher said. "I played left tackle in college and hopefully I'll get the opportunity to play it again, but I know there's some great tackles in the league right now, and as a rookie if I had to come in and play right tackle I'd have no problem with that. ... I can play anywhere on the line they need me." Fisher's willingness to play the position may help him become the No. 1 overall selection if left tackle Branden Albert stays and Texas A&M T Luke Joeckel isn't willing to move |

I think my hate for the Ty Jack pick will be nothing compared to that over pissing away the 1st pick on a ****ing tackle.

No, but I don't see why people are acting like they're going to be Terzelle Jenkins either. I'd either one or both are solid tackles for several years, was it a pissed away pick?

People wonder why the "Geno Mafia" acts the way we do. He at least offers the team a legit shot to greatly improve a position of need for the future. Jekyll and company AT BEST offer a minimal future upgrade over the Top 10 Tackle we already have in Albert.

Geno offers a legit shot at a great improvement, but the tackles who are widely regarded as much better football players offer only a minimal upgrade at best. Geno love is a strange thing.

Versus a starting RT/LT. Think, Pat. It's not that hard to understand why Geno is a much sexier and (it can be argued) smarter pick |

Or are you still in denial about Albert being a little bitch and getting shipped out?

Because it's not a position of need. LTs aren't as valuable as they once were. If you have an adequate/good starting LT (which Albert is) you don't need much more than that.

You mean a rookie is coming out and saying the right thing?
