Shout-out to Michael Oher

yeah i only noticed the first sack. i like oher here. it'll be interesting to see the future of the o-line. does DWill take over on the right and what happens with Remmers? i'd feel bad to sit him as a back up, even though he'd be a great swing tackle. 

also, we have oher for a 2 year deal. if he continues to do well for us do we extend it a couple more? then use the draft to find the long term replacement? I'm guessing Dwill will be the RT at some point maybe not this season because the injury probably has set him back. i wouldn't feel bad about this line. maybe remmers moves to C in a few seasons if Kalil leaves.

So right at the end when Remmers hands are wrapped all the way around Bennett, his hands are literally on the numbers on the back of his jersey...that's not holding?  Thought you were supposed to keep your hands in front or it's holding.  Not trying to hate, Remmers has been a massive upgrade over Nate Chandler, but trying to be as unbiased as possible he was holding a bit.

I think by the letter of the law, yes, that is holding.  However, holding pretty much only gets called on O-Linemen when they get beat and are holding to impede their opponent's progress towards the ball-carrier.  Remmers was still directly engaged with his man though, so I'd say that's the kind of holding that only gets called when the refs are trying to intentionally influence the game.

I did not follow him but if he really said that then he must be the stupiest player in the NFL. Why would you ruin your market value by saying you want to play for a specific team in advance? Geezzz... But hey, nothing surprises me these days with the behavior/comments of some of those players.

yeah it's pretty stupid

He is BY FAR a better option than Bell.

Even the best LTs have guys like Irvin fly by them...

Joe Staley, who I woild kill to have as a LT..was whiffing badly so lets not expect perfection as a minimum expectation. 

I love Cordy Glenn and I think Oher is at least his equal if not better.

Watching the last few 1st round cant miss LTs makes me appreciate the 2015 Oher..

...The Jake Matthews, Eric Fisher, DJ Humphreys and TJ Clemmings whats-his-face from Pitt others look closer to vet min contracts when their rookie contracts are finished than pro-bowlers.

Both of our tackles struggled in pass protection against Seattle, though, isn't that to be expected against the best defensive end duo in the nfl? They dd about 100 times better than a Bell/Chandler combo would have done.

They did well enough to let us send Olsen out for about 130- yards of receptions and a td.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
