I would really suggest taking a look at the game and watching it, then drawing conclusions based on your observations. As informative as Rams Radio is, I would imagine it would be pretty difficult to comment on anyone's play through the season if you haven't had a chance to actually watch the game itself. Savard and Hannifan are great, but you gain so much more insight sitting down and watching things yourself with the ability to slow-mo things and rewind to take another look.

For clarity's sake, I believe the fastest players on our team are Curtis and Hill. Based on their rookie agility test numbers, Hill (4.31) and Curtis (4.32) were both half a hundreth of a second faster in the 40-yard dash than Fisher was (4.37).
But back to the point, can you provide examples of Fisher getting burned often this season? I'll be the first to point to the Arizona game as a contest in which he didn't play well, though both of the big plays he gave up came on quick patterns where he couldn't make the tackle (one was a slant to Boldin and the other a quick out to Johnson). To me, that's not getting burned, but rather just poor tackling on Fisher's part.
When I hear about a guy getting burned, I associate with someone giving up big deep plays, and I'm not sure he's let a receiver get behind him deep all year thus far. But perhaps someone can point me in the direction of a game and a play if that's not correct.
