I was watching Oher at practice today, saw him reaching out to block instead of using his feet and you captured this in a picture you took Jeremy, that's why he's getting beat. Probably learned bad habits trying to nurse that toe, easy to fix but may take some time while he builds the confidence to know that he can really kick slide without experiencing pain or re-injuring it.

Ah, yes...reminds me of last year when smart asses would say everyone is being stupid to panic and we would be fine with Bell and Chandler. I for one, think once again, it is very stupid for the team to ignore this position as they continue to do. And before the 'well, who was better, who could've come in/draft blah blah', how many years do you go with that story? Surley 4 years have not gone by with a better option. Oher is NOT the answer and neither is Martin and both are going to look horrible this season. Watch. In the rare event Oher turns out to be serviceable or slightly better than Bell, the worst LT in the league, we can consider ourselves luck.

At this point in baffles me we spend years trying to figure out a solution to the most important position on the offense not being QB.

 

You do realize that until last year we had Jordan Gross at LT, right? The position has been a problem last season and might still be (which we don't know for sure yet), but where do you get the four years from?

if you don't want to provide your own suggestions then people are 100% justified for giving you poo because what you're doing essentially amounts to aimless bitching.  how thought provoking and captivating.

Rivera said Oher bad start was overblown.. protecting his O-linemen?
he always seems to take it easy on those guys when talking to reporters, but blasts KB for being a lil overweight.

 

some need a hug, some need a kick in the pants.. knowing the difference = that's just good coaching/parenting

You're right, he is not the answer because he will be sitting on his couch. Not sure if he will look horrible there or not. Either way, I don't plan to watch.

The reality that you know less about football than the 8th graders I coached this Spring?

I'm actually pretty comfortable with that.

How does it feel knowing an 8th grader knows more football than you?

 

Weren't you on the Martin train? LMAO how did that plan out.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
