Titans blog Music City Miracles:

"The Titans seem to be in full on evaluation mode now, and according to PFF, [right tackle] Michael Oher has earned the Titans worst offensive grade (-20.2) and the fifth worst grade from an offensive tackle this year. It should be safe to say that his job should be in question this offseason. With Ruston Webster, Tommie Smith and Ken Whisenhunt promising turnover this offseason, it is hard to imagine a situation where the Titans bring back the tackle"

ESPN:

"ESPN.com Insider Mike Sando rates the Oher signing as the fifth- worst offseason pickup...The Titans signed Oher..in free agency, a move that immediately drew criticism. ... Amid the criticism, the contract details emerged and told us they can get out of the deal after 2014 for just the $6 million he will have made in his first year."

Oher had no guaranteed money after his first season, so the Titans only spent a total of $6M on him for one year

I just watched the 1st game of last season. Titans vs Chiefs. Oher's run blocking is terrible. I was laughing at his run blocking  a lot. His pass blocking is very good though. He handled Justin Houston like a pro. He gave up 1 sack to Justin Houston but it wasn't his fault. Locker should of gotten rid of the ball but he held on to it and Houston got a sack. After watching that game, I was really impressed with Oher's pass blocking.

here's a video of a Houston sack on Oher. Oher could barely get a hand on him:

i think he beats out David Foucault and takes his spot on the 53-man roster. Or least i hope he's better than Foucault. Foucault is younger tho, so Foucault may have more upside

Unless we stumble into something better, I see Oher starting at tackle. I have a feeling foucault is gone regardless... I saw nothing last season that would lead me to believe that he is an nfl-caliber player. You can't coach size, but some guys can't develop the required skill either...

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
