Get Oher out of LT
He cost the Ravens the game last week and has just given the Redskins life with another whiff. He cannot protect the QB blind side, no matter what Hollywood says. He is an average RT, but terrible at LT.

Re: Get Oher out of LT
He's got the wrong body type for a tackle, not tall enough with short arms.
He's able to compensate somewhat because he has quick feet; the problem is that so do the better speed rushers.
He is. however, ideally built for a guard. He has a lot of his weight in his lower body giving him a thick, heavy strong base with a lower center of gravity. That combined with his explosive strength and mean streak and IMO he would be an All-Pro at guard.
But Harbs and whoever else is involved in the decision (Ozzie? Cam? Moeller?) wants him to be Mr. Blind Side.
His (Their?) stubbornness has contributed to 2 losses late in the season that would have given the Ravens the division.

I agree cost Ravens 2 games in a row, time for Mckinney and Oher to RT.

Re: Get Oher out of LT
Should be playing RT. Been saying it all year. Too late now, although injury to Yanda may necessitate moving the existing pieces around. Didn't see as many strip/sacks or free runners with McKinnie at LT.
