From near the end of Rivera's post "day one of rookie camp" interview (link)

 

 

- Rivera says Oher has been at the facility "every day" since their offseason program started, "hasn't missed a day".

 

- Describes Oher as "involved with everything".

 

- Says he has "assimilated very nicely into our culture" and "fit very nicely with his teammates".

 

- States that Oher is a "very smart football player" and is transitioning well with the help of Coach Matsko.

 

 

Safe to say he's impressed Rivera so far, for what it's worth.

 

(granted, live bullets aren't flying yet)

But he's no La'el Collins so 2-14 AT BEST! Maybe 3-13 ;)

I want Rivera to say "Well, he's better than Byron so that's a start" haha jk

 

Seriously though, we've got our line shored up and as long as he can be adequate alongside Norwell-Kalil-Turner-Williams/Remmers, then we've got ourselves a squad ready to compete.  Not expecting Oher to completely turn it around just because he's back with his old coach but if he's trying this hard and is a cultural fit, there could be something.  I have a feeling he can do perfectly fine in the right setting, this may be that setting.

Love the man.

Don't know why so much hate for the man. Had one average year with Balt and another bad season due to injury last year. Other than that he has been a very good player throughout his career and even better the SB year.

You are always the first to hate on someone especially someone as terrible as he's been. Good to see you've turned the corner. ;)

Rivera has been too much a fluffer of certain guys in the past. I want to believe him, but I've been lied to in the past.

 

Here's hoping Oher proves me wrong.

 

This.  Bell and Chandler were gonna be the answers last year.

 

I mean, I can't blame him.  What's he supposed to say?  "Holy poo, have you seen these guys???  They're fuging TERRIBLE!!!  We are so completely and utterly fuged that it ain't even funny!!!"

I pray to God he works out. Thanks for posting.

He's graded negatively on PFF every season since 2009.

Considering nobody but rookies are practicing in any way he can only comment on his involvement in his personaL preparation.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
