After watching the replay of Sunday's victory a few times I don't recall Oher giving up a single sack. That is very impressive against Seattle's speed rushers. And did anyone else notice the push he got off the line on Stew's 4th Q touchdown? Stew could've walked into the end zone. What a great job he has done filling a void for us on the left side. Yet another diamond in the rough uncovered by Gettleman.

3rd offensive play of the game Newton got blindsided.  One of the few true blindsides I have ever seen him take.  

but now that you mention it...I don't recall much about Oher after that.  Which is good?

Well poo I must've not been paying attention if it was early in the game. I noticed he did a really nice job staying with his man on the 2nd and 19 play from the 50 and the Olsen TD. Once Cam got sacked for the loss of 9 I thought the game was over.

He definitely cleaned it up after that and his play Sunday is deserving of praise. Seattle has some really good pass rushers and he did his job.

Oher is good for about 1-3 bad plays a game where he gets beat but is very good the rest of the time which I can live with. In contrast to Bell who was good for about 8-15 bad plays per game. I'm very happy with what Oher has given us this year after being very disappointed in the signing in the offseason. Glad I was wrong about that.

better than bell which was all we asked for.

I'll take it. 

This.  We knew we weren't getting an All-Pro LT in Oher, but he has been a significant upgrade from Byron Bell and that's what we needed.  I think he's been a pleasant surprise so far this season, especially after all the concerns when he looked Bell-esque early on in camp.

He is good at pass blocking.. He just doesn't move people in the run game.  Turner and Norwell move people.  That Kalil Norwell double team where Oher kicks outside, Turner pulls is a thing of beauty.  It took Oher some plays to get used to the speed of those ends. However into the game he was doing fine, that why Seattle started stunting so much because they weren't getting pressure any other way. Not having Bobby Wagner was a big plus as well, but the way J Stew was picking up blocks in the middle I don't think it would have mattered except maybe he would have been closer on the wheel route of Olsen.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 3 Rd 3 8pm

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I was reading through the thread seeing if someone would mention this. This is exactly what the Canes are doing and Tripp Tracy alluded to it on the Spittin Chiclets podcast when he said Taylor Hall was our Sam Bennett. The Canes and Panthers have always played identical with the main difference being Florida toes the line between physical and dirty. The Canes have stepped up the physical play this year and are inching closer to that line of physical and dirty. If I’m being honest, as a Montreal fan I wouldn’t love the fact that the Canes seem to be targeting Hutson but as a Canes fan I love it because this is what you have to do in the playoffs. Unfortunately for Montreal they aren’t an overly physical team outside of Anderson and Xhekaj; only the Avs, Stars, and Sabres average less hits per game than Canadians in the playoffs. The Canadians can still make this a series if they stop playing scared and turning the puck over simply because they are getting elite goaltending while the Canes are getting average goaltending but if the Habs continue to play with the yips and either Andersen steps up or Dobes regresses then this series could end in five.
