Eric Fisher is leaner and stronger
Chiefs' Eric Fisher took up boxing and shed 20-30 pounds of body fat
By Joel Thorman @JoelThorman on Apr 28, 2015, 4:38p 9 The issue with Eric Fisher going into the 2014 season was his strength. He had offseason shoulder surgery after the 2013 season which prevented him from lifting weights to put on strength. It was something everyone saw coming and it was an issue at times last season. It's great news then to hear that Fisher says he shed 20-30 pounds of body fat but was able to keep his weight up heading into his third NFL season. "I weighed in this morning at 314," Fisher said, via quotes from the Chiefs. "Honestly, I cut like 20, 30 pounds of body fat. I'm feeling really good. I think I'm in the best shape I've ever been in in my life, especially at that weight. Last year, not being able to work out and do the things I wanted to do for six months. It probably wasn't the best weight I put on last year. I did get up there into the teens, but this year I'm feeling really good. My body is feeling good, mind is feeling good, and I am ready to go." I usually make a joke about someone saying they're "in the best shape of my life" but that's actually important for Fisher. "Feeling good and ready to go" was a theme throughout his press conference. One of the ways he stayed in shape is through boxing, which he picked up while working out in Michigan this offseason. "I've really never boxed before," Fisher said, "but I know my punch is one of the things I really needed to develop this offseason. And I knew going into the offseason that it was something I wanted to do and get in to. I couldn't believe the workout you can get from boxing - the hand work and the hand quickness. I really think that brought me a long way. I've been keeping it going here in KC. We have a couple heavy bags out there on the turf field. I brought my gloves back with me and sticking at it." Fisher's probably not squaring up with Floyd Mayweather anytime soon but a 6'7, 314-pound boxer? Got damn! That's gotta be intimidating for whoever went up against him. This is year three for Fisher, which is a big one. He'll have two years under his belt and a full offseason to work on his technique and get stronger. If he's going to turn the corner, this will be the year. http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2015/4...eight-body-fat |

No. If anything, haley turned his career around. Even if I hate his playcalling, I will never understand people who can't see that Haley made a lot of players better.
Albert was forced to cut a ton of weight under haleys orders. He regressed because he was forced to use technique instead of throwing his body around. |

Fisher sucks...doesn't know how to leverage his body and plant. Gets knocked off his feet and is unbalanced a lot. Hated the pick at the time, probably should have drafted Sheldon Richardson instead. People say, well he was't worth the 1st overall pick...well, neither was Fisher but the Chiefs drafted him anyway.

I don't think his ceiling is that high. Will probably never be worth a 1.1. But I don't see why he couldn't at least become a quality starter. |

When you are selected #1 over all you should be able to play RT AND LT at the same time!

How long until Fisher is the biggest draft bust in Chiefs history? Can anyone dethrone Todd Blackledge?

There are maybe 3 or 4 first round picks from 2013 that have done much of anything so far in the league vs the Blackledge year which had a few guys that worked out pretty well. Time will tell on 2013 obviously but can't say it's much of a contender for the Blackledge draft. Glad I was way too young to remember that one.

He needs to add some weight. Every time he gets bull rushed he looks like he's doing the limbo...

Anyone remember last years fluff piece about Fisher putting on 10 pounds of "good weight"?
Now he says that wasn't exactly good weight... Fluff piece is fluff...ya know when I'll believe he put on 20-30 pounds of muscle? When I see him not get raped by James Harrison's corpse. |
