The Bills signed and drafted a lot of offensive linemen this offseason.Former Bengals tackle Jake Fisher wasn’t one of them.The former second-round pick is making the transition to tight end this year White Jonah Williams Jersey , and is excited about the chance to jump-start his career.“I think it comes down to being happy every day, what you’re passionate about,” Fisher told the team’s website, via the . “If you’re not doing that, change it up. For me Black Jonah Williams Jersey , I’m passionate about tight end. I’m passionate about blocking, contributing any way I can for the team. . . . It’s about setting your mind on something and betting on yourself.”After four years as a backup with the Bengals, Fisher could have signed on as a backup elsewhere. But he decided to go back to his roots, when he started as a tight end in high school before becoming a lineman at Oregon.The biggest change is a physical one for Fisher, who played at over 300 pounds in recent years Youth Jonah Williams Jersey , and is now down to 268.“For someone that’s not naturally 320 to 340 playing offensive tackle, it took a lot of work to get to 315,” he said. “So a lot of that excess weight just was breaking down my body later in the season, not allowing me to be the best form of me. . . .“I would say that’s my natural weight. I think I want to be in the low 260s, see how I feel http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/clark-harris-jersey , see how I can block, and go from there.”He’s going to have to prove he can catch a pass occasionally, or else he’ll serve as a clear signal to defenses to what the Bills intend to do when he’s on the field, but Fisher seems motivated to make the switch work. The Steelers have left themselves with a lot of work to do in the second half of Sunday’s game.Matt McCrane’s field goal as time expired in the second quarter gave the Steelers their first points against the Bengals and left them with a seven-point deficit to overcome in the final 30 minutes at Heinz Field. Shaun Williams’ interception return and a Randy Bullock staked the Bengals to a 10-0 lead before the Steelers offense finally found some momentum on the final drive of the half.They were helped by a short field set up by a short kickoff and a good return by Ryan Switzer and those are the kinds of breaks the Steelers will need to capitalize on over the course of the second half. They’ll also need to be much sharper on defense against a Bengals team that’s starting Jeff Driskel at quarterback and playing without their two best wideouts and top tight end (regardless of who the Steelers might think is active this week).Driskel and the Bengals haven’t been prolific, but they have been able to eat big chunks of clock and that’s almost as bad for the Steelers as they stare at the prospect of playoff elimination.
