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.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
