Trai Turner had himself an afternoon on Sunday

I've been impressed by our O-line play this year. I figured we'd be better (hard to be worse than last year) and that Oher would pay off as an FA pick-up. Couldn't be happier to say I wasn't even close to how much better this group is.

Oher added a lot of experience and he seems to be fully healed back up. He's looking more like the player he was drafted to be. Is he the best LT in the league? No, not right now. He is, however, doing a darned good job and he hasn't been facing nobodies this year. Norwell has been a beast, Kalil's leadership skills are really showing through, Turner has been a relevation and Remmers is playing well enough to actually standout as a huge find for our team.

Even our back ups, when brought in, are playing well enough to see no major drop off.

It's an embarrassment of riches compared to last year's embarrassment.

 

I agree. Oher has been everything we could have possibly hoped him to be.  He's given up less than one "total whiff" per game.  I only remember about 3 or 4 of those on the season.  Bell was good for 3 or 4 PER GAME.

Imagine if Williams can turn into a high level LT. We would be in good shape for a while as far as OL.

At 22, Turner is a year younger than the rookie. Imagine what we'll have once they get dry behind the ears.

I can't imagine how uncomfortable it must be for a safety or a corner back to see Turner pulling with a head of steam and Stewart, Tolbert, or Cam rumbling right behind him.  That's over 500lbs of humans hurling at you and you are on an island.  It would be a wise career move for those defensive backs to just get out of the way or lay down.

I saw a close up video of Turner coming around the end on that sweep.

He was MOVING.

Even after one block he was looking for another.

I wouldn't want to get in his way.
