Wouldn’t RT Eric Fisher make sense?

One year deal, stop gap RT with the hope Eich or AJ develop under new coaching. He was coming off a severe injury last year and struggled but I have to imagine with his experience and another year of healing that he can be a solid RT in 2022

He is probably asking for a lot more than the Dolphins want to spend on an offensive lineman who struggled last year. If they are going to sign another offensive lineman I prefer Tretter but I will be surprised if they sign anymore offensive linemen in free agency.

I think they believe they can get a lot more out of the offensive linemen on the roster now than the previous coaching staff did.
 
There are a lot of notable guys still unsigned… not just Fisher, but guys like Javeon Clowney, for example, will sign somewhere before the season starts.

With this in mind, it’s been made clear they’re going to add more depth along the line, but they have been operating patiently and I see no reason for them to RUSH anything at this point.
 
He would make sense as a 1 year stop gap and then the coaching staff ain't under pressure to coach up Eich, Jackson & Kindley, but as someone else said I'd prefer Tretter as our next fa signing
 
Eric Fisher is 31. There is a good reason why the Chiefs moved on from him in 2020. Coach Andy Reid is extremely loyal to his players but Fisher was banged up and coming off major surgery. In 2021 he landed at the Colts for $8M. There is also probably a good reason why the Colts haven't re-signed him.
He was a great player 4 or 5 years ago and made 2 Pro Bowls, but he is not what he was. We need to move on from signing banged up former great players who are shadows of their former selves because they might still be a good locker room presence. Even Jesse Davis was considered a great locker room presence and the Vikings preferred to sign him ahead of Eric Fisher, who appears to be past his used by date.
Next....

Here is the problem with posts that dont actually include the players full name. When I saw Fisher, I thought - why the F^@K would anyone want Coach Jeff Fisher at Miami.....

Well. Back in 2012 I was quite fully excoriated by a member here for suggesting we could do better than Jeff Fisher.

No…we have two highly drafted tackles that now finally have real coaching….we are fine!
 
Eventually the 4 OL coaches we hired will have to coach.

I trust this crew of OL guys (years of evidence with McD and Frank Smith) to get the most out the talent of the kids we got

I thought the same thing, except I thought he meant Bobby Fischer. They say MM is a genius so I thought he might want to play some chess with the guys.
 
If Miami brings in a veteran OL to compete at RT, I am not going to bitch about it.

With Armstead’s injury history I would prefer a vet that could slide in at LT as well if need be.

Maybe it was bad coaching that led to Jackson and Eichenberg poor play.

Or maybe it wasn’t. Or maybe it was both.

Options are a good thing.

You may be right when you were just trying to be humorous. - LOL

Maybe Coach McDaniel sees football as a chess match with a scale of flexibility at each position, dependent on that players ability.
