Bryce

Fisher

Since St. Louis is heading into a bye week, the Rams don’t need to update his condition until next week.

“Bryce has got real good instincts,” defensive line coach Bill Kollar said. “He plays with pretty good strength most of the time; plays with leverage so he’s able to end up hanging in there against the bigger players.”

What’s with the league trying to fleece St. Louis’ restricted free agents? Fisher is expected to replace Grant Wistrom next season in St. Louis, so this is a situation to watch.

The charge stems from April, but the case was continued to December 6th. Since its a misdemeanor, it’s very likely the team will allow the court system to run its course and it won’t affect Fisher’s status on the team.

Fisher could re-team with Grant Wistrom in St. Louis if Chike Okeafor decides to sign elsewhere.

Fisher could be the best end still available on the market, which isn’t really saying much.

He’ll replace Chike Okeafor in the starting lineup across from Grant Wistrom. Fisher has had a quiet career before registering 77 tackles, 8 1/2 sacks, and two forced fumbles in his contract year. He’s a downgrade from Okeafor, but not a huge one.

Fisher, a starter the last two seasons, was on the Seahawks’ second-team defense behind right defensive end Darryl Tapp. The Titans have been looking for depth along the defensive line, having recently signed former Colts DT Corey Simon. Terms of the trade have not been released, but a late-round draft choice in return is likely.

Bryce Fisher figures to be a part of the rotation, but Tapp looks like the team’s new starter at right end for now. The Virginia Tech alum has three sacks in the preseason. The smallish Tapp may be a liability against the run.
