Extension for Oher?

“I want to be here," Oher said with a huge smile. “Love the organization. It’s such a great organization. You wish you could be a part of this type stuff your whole career."

Rivera is expecting even better things out of Oher this season.

“Oh, he’s so much more comfortable in what we’re doing and how we do it," he said. “He’s fit in very nicely with that group of guys. Players feed off of his energy and excitement."

The best evidence of how comfortable Rivera is with Oher is Carolina didn’t make any moves in the draft or free agency.

“It’s exciting to have him out here and watch him mix it up with the guys," Rivera said. “He’s been a big part of what we’ve done since he’s been here and he continues to be a big part for us."

Few have a better work ethic than Oher, usually one of the first players at the facility. He’s bought into Rivera’s post-Super Bowl speech that the best way to get back to the title game is to return to the little things that got you there the first time.

"Don't be blindsided"

will it ever end???

It would be nice to get a few more years out of him, though I'd love to see his run blocking get better.  Especially after he rode that dude to the other end of the field in the movie.. ;P

    • this is true.  But NFL Ss and defenses are actively taking that away and playing to take them away vs most teams.  The problem thus far in BY's career......is they are cheating and not respecting the deep game which makes the smaller/mid range game harder to pull off.  and Dallas is an anomaly game.  using those random games as well, look at this......doesn't really change the discussion/issues in Carolina.  Bryce Young took the shots this week because they were not just NFL open but college open.    Wide open dudes downfield that really were coverage busts/issues. 
    • I will simply counter all that with: you should always strive, at every turn, to avoid indoctrinating young players into a culture of not playing to win the game.  Come man, that is an egghead academic approach that ignores the human element. it looks good on paper. Maybe.  In the voice of the great  Herm Edwards: Hello! You play to win the game.  I completely understand the need but that is not the way….
