According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the Uber driver claimed he and Oher got in an argument April 14 while the driver was giving Oher and four of his friends a ride to downtown Nashville. 

The driver claims he put his hand on Oher's face before Oher knocked him to the ground. The driver also alleged that Oher kicked him in the leg before the NFL player was restrained by his friends

 

Seems like there is some missing info.

Oher, 30, was charged with misdemeanor assault after police said he pushed the Uber driver to the ground and kicked him in the leg over a fare dispute on April 14, multiple Tennessee media outlets reported Thursday. Oher is a former Tennessee Titan and subject of the award-winning film “The Blind Side.” According to a police report, the Uber driver was taking Oher and four friends from a house to eat in downtown Nashville when Oher and the driver began arguing over the fare, The Tennessean newspaper reported. Oher had asked the driver to follow another car that also was leaving the home, according to the police account, Nashville ABC-affiliate WKRN reported. Along the way, the driver suggested he take the lead, saying the other car didn't seem to know where it was going, according to the police account, the station reported. Believing the driver was just trying to get more money, Oher began arguing with him, police said, according to WKRN. On the way to their destination, two of the passengers needed to use the restroom, so the driver stopped at a Mapco convenience store on Eighth Avenue South, according to the police report. The driver got out to open the door for the rear passengers, and Oher stepped out to confront the driver, the report said, according to The Tennessean. When the driver put his hands up toward the offensive tackle’s face, Oher pushed him to the ground and kicked him in the leg, according to the report, The Tennessean and at least two Nashville TV stations reported. The friends then got out of the car and held Oher back, according to the police report.

    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
    • Need to crush the hawks tonight. A lose would really damage momentum 
    • Sorry, but this is a terrible breakdown that doesn't at all show what you're trying to say/project about T-Mac next year, as it leaves out key information that changes everything, it makes the opposite point that you're trying to. Chase missed 5 games that second season after playing all 17 as a rookie (and still saw more targets that second season). Puka it looks like you projected his stats out to a 17 game season (as he only played 11 games), but even still , when you have 160+ targets as a rookie, there isn't really much room to get any more the next year. Waddle saw an increase in yards, and sure, his targets went down, but he played on a team with a better WR that year who saw 170 targets for 1,710 yards during that 2nd season for Waddle... something T-Mac doesn't have to contend with on the same team (280+ targets for their top 2 WRs, if you don't think T-Mac would see more than 122 targets if him and Coker combined for 287, then you're nuts). Then Olave and Wilson both saw an increase of 19 targets in their second season. You basically just laid out the reasoning for why T-Mac should see at least 20 more targets next year, if not more, which would be a solid increase and put him easily into the Top 10 most targeted WR next season.
