Michael Oher could be a nice cheap addition at Right tackle,

but if they try him at left I don't see it ending well

[rhyslloyd]

Sweet. Bring back Byron, and let's do this poo! Yeah!

[Yaboychris28]

No doubt he has talent. No one wants to play in Tennessee. I think a change of scenery might help him become the player he once was early in his career.

Even if he isn't that great we must look at the facts. The Ravens were pretty good, winning one Super Bowl with Oher as a starter.

Even if he doesn't start for us he does provide solid depth if a starter goes down. Where as last year we were stuck with Foucault up until we signed Reammers.

I honestly would love for our staff to at least try to see what Norwell could do at tackle while moving Oher to guard.

Person chimes in...

 

“We look forward to having Michael be a part of what we are building here,” head coach Ron Rivera said. “He’s a pro who understands what it takes to win. A big part of why we pursued Michael was his relationship with offensive line coach John Matsko and the opportunity to have him work with Ray Brown. We are excited to have him.”

 

Oher apparently will get the first crack to replace Byron Bell, an unrestricted free agent who will not be re-signed after a disappointing 2014. Bell moved from the right side after long-time left tackle Jordan Gross retired last year.

If Michael Oher is an upgrade, you know you have line issues.

 

day late and a dollar short Pete....

Interested to see the terms. I'm fine with him as a stop-gap player in the short-term, but I hope we're not counting on him to be more.

Myron Boher is pleased

[LawCat]

Like the signing.

Dude wasn't even healthy and ranked above a, mostly healthy, Byron Bell. Oher has physical talent Bell will simply never have.

[KillaCamNewton]

Hopefully to play RT. Really hoping they dont expect him to fill the need on the left side

[LinvilleGorge]

Screw the haters! I hope he proves them all wrong and we all laugh in their faces together!

[The Huddler]

Im gunna go on record, un edited, saying this guy is gunna turn it around and be a beast for us. Im on the wagon DAY ONE

Welcome to the team Oher

Screw the haters! I hope he proves them all wrong and we all laugh in their faces together!

Were in the 10%

FYI: I didn't write the OP as it stands right now.  It's been edited (and that was probably a good idea)
