I have seen it mentioned a few times in other post but no responses.  To those that attended fan fest, how did Oher look?  Byron Bellish----Meh------Seviceble?

After all the Micheal Oher is worst than Byron Bell post this week just wondering if he is improving or should be praying that Williams is the answer.

It was described as a "light practice."  Not too much opportunity to see a lot, is my guess.

Some things to remember about Oher:  He is an upgrade, and not a big one, but in the OT pool, you get what you get.  OTs usually struggle vs. DEs early and in one-on-one drills.  The thing we need to do is use a FB or TE to allow him to protect either the inside or outside--never both.

Run game will help dramatically. 

I am just glad Alexander seems to have it together because to me, the biggest disappointment in camp is Ealy.  He is getting rag dolled (based on reading--have not seen camp).  He is our 4th DE and maybe the 5th if you like Horton.

He did fine. Nothing special. At one point, the playcalling put Olsen beside of him, which means that they're comfortable enough leaving him beside of a pass-catching TE. 

Serious question....but as opposed to what? Nobody?

I watched Oher all night. At one point they did some pass rushing drills. During these Oher was consistently matched up against Frank Alexander and, from my very novice eye, didn't do too terribly. He wasn't dominating Alexander by any means, but he appeared to maintain his blocks long enough, and when Alexander would try to go around him on the outside, Oher was capable of forcing him wide of the pocket.

All what reports?  Did I miss something besides Igo saying he spent a few snaps on the left side?

Yep, that was it.  I think it was like 6-7 snaps at LT, all against Ealy who isn't having a great camp.  But, that's enough for some to label him the next Jonathan Ogden I guess.  I like the young man getting looks at both tackle spots and if I had to guess, that may be his primary role this season - backup swing tackle.

Things take off quick here dont they.

There was that clip of Addison being held while going around him for a likely sack that everyone interpretted as looking good for some reason.

I guess we have to set a Mendoza line for Oher.  Your top tier OT gives up 4 or 5 sacks a year.  What does an average or serviceable OT do?  God knows we don't want 4 or 5 a game like Bell used to give us.  What about Williams.  What line do we give Williams. 

Ole Gross was so good for so long we got spoiled on his consistency.  Now we don't have that consistency and I don't think we know what to expect as fair.  Bell put us to where we cringe on every snap.   Oher is going to get beat.  He will probably never be an All Pro tackle whether right or left.  But I don't think he is going to be a revolving door like Bell was.

If Oher is better at the run game than that will help his pass blocking.  We run well, he'll be better than expected.  WE suck at running he will be a notch above Bell

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
