Titans blog Music City Miracles:

"The Titans seem to be in full on evaluation mode now, and according to PFF, [right tackle] Michael Oher has earned the Titans worst offensive grade (-20.2) and the fifth worst grade from an offensive tackle this year. It should be safe to say that his job should be in question this offseason. With Ruston Webster, Tommie Smith and Ken Whisenhunt promising turnover this offseason, it is hard to imagine a situation where the Titans bring back the tackle"

ESPN:

"ESPN.com Insider Mike Sando rates the Oher signing as the fifth- worst offseason pickup...The Titans signed Oher..in free agency, a move that immediately drew criticism. ... Amid the criticism, the contract details emerged and told us they can get out of the deal after 2014 for just the $6 million he will have made in his first year."

Oher had no guaranteed money after his first season, so the Titans only spent a total of $6M on him for one year

I just watched the 1st game of last season. Titans vs Chiefs. Oher's run blocking is terrible. I was laughing at his run blocking  a lot. His pass blocking is very good though. He handled Justin Houston like a pro. He gave up 1 sack to Justin Houston but it wasn't his fault. Locker should of gotten rid of the ball but he held on to it and Houston got a sack. After watching that game, I was really impressed with Oher's pass blocking.

here's a video of a Houston sack on Oher. Oher could barely get a hand on him:

i think he beats out David Foucault and takes his spot on the 53-man roster. Or least i hope he's better than Foucault. Foucault is younger tho, so Foucault may have more upside

Unless we stumble into something better, I see Oher starting at tackle. I have a feeling foucault is gone regardless... I saw nothing last season that would lead me to believe that he is an nfl-caliber player. You can't coach size, but some guys can't develop the required skill either...

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
