Sylvester Croom said. "The thing that happens in this league is more games are lost than are won. So the first thing is you want a guy out there who wont get us beat.
"Fisher is not a going to get us beat, and -- particularly in the passing game -- he makes plays."
That never was more evident than on Sunday in the second quarter against Arizona, when -- on a second-and-6 play from the Cardinals 32 -- Fisher laid out and hauled in a diving 23-yard reception.
