So after a tough game against KC and after many many fans asked for his head, Oher went up against one of the top pass rushers in the league in DeMarcus Ware and had, what I think, a GREAT game.
Thoughts?

I agree. It wasn't until Brennaman/Billick called his name that he made a play, lol.
One of the positives of the day, for sure.

I think it was a great day for Oher, The 1 sack Ware got, had as much to do with Bobbie WIlliams as anything. I think this was a really good test for the Oline in preperation for the Texans defensive front.

Well, the sack Ware had is not on Oher. How can you block someone stunting if you have a 340 lbs Bobbie Williams blocking your way?He had a great game. Cept for one play. Next week he takes on Watt tho. Im crapping my pants now.

i'm crapping my pants at their whole team! just makes me feel better though that jets of all teams played a pretty decent game against them. We are way better than the jets so we should have a shot.

he actually played pretty well against Kansas City too, he just got beat twice on coverage sacks, one of which Flacco rolled out and Oher had no idea.

Oher was better today, but the line as a whole was worse than it looked. Williams in particular got beat a few times, which is to be expected I suppose. There was more pressure on Flacco than I would like to see, but overall the line did almost neutralize Dallas' only pass rusher, who happens to be one of the best in the league. But don't forget that, he is their only pass rusher.

What about Ratliff? And don't forget, some of that pressure was not on the line. I'm looking at you, RR.Oher was better today, but the line as a whole was worse than it looked.

Ratliff is not a Ngata. His impact is negligible, and I believe they said it was his first game back from injury as well.

It was heartening to see that the only sack that the Cowboys got came on a stunt play that used Williams to block Oher. Too bad about Harewood, though. He seemed to be doing fairly well.

Oher played a great game against Demarcus Ware.
Never thought those words would ever be said.

i would've bet my money against him before the game but he certainly helped us today. The whole line was pretty good today even though we didn't get much of a run game.

Honestly Oher has really impressed me this season. After the last few years I thought he wasn't capable of playing left tackle, but I really do believe he will grow into our left tackle of the future.

Oher has been just fine this year. He was a little off in KC but who was not.

ehhh, Green bay doesn't have that great of a O-line as well and they practically took him out of the game. The two sacks honestly didn't matter because Green bay would either just convert the 3rd down or kick the field goal. If Joe is getting hot against them, we can really take away his effectiveness.He had a great game. Cept for one play. Next week he takes on Watt tho. Im crapping my pants now.

Watt will be mainly against Yanda,I think we can handle him. He'll probably have a sack or two,but he won't own us

A big part of the Texans pass rush is the confussion of the 3-4. Wade does a great job of creating matchups that favor the front 7, much like the Steelers.
What the Ravens have to do is, much like we've started doing against the Steelers and the Packers did last night is, force them to stay in their Nickle package. That takes a LB out of the front 7, which is their strenght, and addds a Safety. That basically puts ups in a 5-6(RB chip) on 4 pass rushers.
Oher just be just fine in this game, as long as the offense can stay ahead of the chains and not become predictable
