A slimmed down Fisher?

[Telx1]

Most reports I’ve seen suggest Fisher has been really good this Spring, and some mention that he has slimmed down and gained better quickness. I thought he was massive and slow on his feet last season, and I thought he was better suited for left guard than right tackle. Losing weight and playing with better quickness, while maintaining his considerable strength and power, could give us the best offensive tackle combination in the country. Anyone have any info on this to share?

I want to say he was about 17 lbs less, but if you see his pictures, it looks like he's had significant weight redistribution on top of the weight loss. More good weight less baggage. It'll be fun to see how it impacts his play

He'll need to put a little bit more on before the season

Hope so. Thought he looked like he was playing on skates a lot of the time last year. If he lost some bad weight it should help his short space quickness and improve his kick slide. Still would love to see him next to Alt.

Just last Friday, I sat next to a relative of Blake Fisher's while networking out in the AZ pre-boondocks. It only came up because he asked me what was my school. We had a great time. I only knew one person there but he was super easy to talk to, and his wife was something else.

Apparently they want him lighter with stronger lower half. He got beat badly last year when out leveraged due to his weight in the upper half. I'd expect him to be around 315 to start the season.

He got pushed around a bit at practice. Thats a lot of weight he lost. Hes a big boy. Should be around 320ish

Needs to gain some good weight. Players typically lose weight during the season so can't go into it weighing 310
