Video: Michael Oher and Olivier Vernon Practice Scrum

[Jeremy Igo]

As the the temperatures increased today at the Carolina Panthers and Miami Dolphins joint practice today, so did the players' tempers. 

During one on one drills, Panthers left tackle Michael Oher took Dolphins DE Olivier Vernon out wide and eventually to the ground at the feet of the spectating players. 

After the play, Vernon stood above Oher a move that is probably less than courteous. Oher initiated helmet to helmet contact while getting back on his feet. This escalated into punches being thrown. Panthers right tackle Mike Remmers then runs in and grabs Vernon in defense of his fellow Panthers tackle.

fug yeah is that Remmers jumping in and laying him out? That's what I like to see. At least one good thing happened today.

on an otherwise horrible day, this makes me really happy

Pretty uncalled for on Vernon's part, both the hovering and the face shot.  Glad to see that Oher didn't back down,  but hope that doesn't happen come game time.

Bet Vernon wasn't expecting that Rem-job

Did Oher false start? looks to be ahead of the snap

[BigBoss]

Looked like Oher tackled him at the end of the play.

 

Loved it! That flood of dolphins players that came in lol. If that's the worst that happens, not bad. You had to know something was going to happen.

It semed to be a drill where they went on the voice. There was no real snap. Im pretty sure the only 2 doing the drill were Oher and Vernon.

yep

If you watch the ball, he was dead on or perhaps just a hair early, if at all. They wouldn't call that during a game. Also, doesn't help that the Dolphins guy was slow off the snap or that he acted like a tool after Oher owned him.
