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.

      Wilmington hockey?

      Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄

      That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.

      My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
