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.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
