Totally agree.
I think that the D has stepped backward since Fox left.
Most of the skill positions have been good if not great in the past, and minus the QB this year Fisher has a nice crew.  I do believe however that the line play is suspect and that is completely apparent in the lack of a rushing attack.

New systems, new players, new coaches on the defensive side of the ball. A lot of variables to overcome to be sure. Offensively, the line play is definitely subpar. Makes it very tough on O, not being able to use one of the best athletes (Chambers) on the field in the running game. Basically he is only being used or should I say, can be used as a receiver who happens to line up in the backfield. It also is one of the toughest situations to have a new QB in, one where he doesn't have a running game behind him. A tough spot for Michels.

Fisher getting completely outclassed...

This is the softest team I've ever seen, they're completely outmatched on the offensive and defensive lines...

Their recruiting has taken a big step back along the offensive and defensive lines...

I was told a big part of why Fox left was that the entire staff was not putting in the same effort when it came to recruiting and long time members of the staff were not putting in the work they should have...

For those reasons alone it seems that Fisher let the wrong coach out the door...

Fox is super intense as a coach and very much a go getter. If he wants something out of you as a player, he will try and get it no matter how hard he has to push a player. Sometimes players don't take it well but he's not there to be your friend. He put a lot of time and effort into the Fisher program and really made the program go. After he left and the rest of the defensive staff basically left, Fisher had to fill the void of not just defensive coaches but also intensity that was lost which seems as if they haven't had it the last couple years. Keep in mind they still had a pretty good year and remains to be seen how they will fare the rest of the season. It doesn't look good right now but the program had a rough start in 15' and ended up winning 7 straight. Time will tell but it is not the Fisher teams of old.

Fisher...yiiiikes. 

At least we are still in the running for the conference bid!  For at least the next 6 days baby! 

Fisher has never lost a courage bowl, correct?  If that is the case then yes I would say that tradition most certainly looks to be in jeopardy this year. 

I've always liked Brockport, so if they are as good as people are saying then I'd love for them to be a strong eastern region playoff rep.  Obviously getting way way ahead of myself since we are only two weeks in.  But Fisher's season is in danger of being over in a few days and I need something fun to look forward to.  (For the record I'm not giving up on Fisher.  I suspect they could make serious improvements as the season progresses.  I just question if it might come to be too little too late.)

To me the chances of Fisher going 0-3 to start the season are very likely. Brockport seems to be very tough on both sides of the ball. Fisher struggled against mobile QB's last year even though they may have won the games against them. Germinerio is a solid runner along with his arm, tough match-up for any D. As for Fishers O, hopefully they can get the ground game going. Chambers is dangerous in the open field but have got to give him some space to operate.  Give credit to Hobarts front 7.  Letta came in and got some reps and experience in the second half at QB for Fisher. Is there a QB competition this week for them or do they continue with Michels?  He looked out of place against Hobart. Seemed to pre-determine throws and just looked uncomfortable in the pocket. But also keep in mind only his second start.
