Re: Michael Oher?
I feel bad for Oher. He seems like a good guy, but hasn't drawn much interest on the open market. Something tells me he'll be back on the right side next year after signing for a one or two-year deal after free agency begins to die down.

Re: Michael Oher?
I'm a huge fan of Michael Oher the person. It's unfortunate that his success on the field hasn't matched his tremendous work ethic and physical gifts.
With that said, now that we know Monroe's going to be manning the blind side, I wouldn't be mad with seeing Oher come back as our RT if the price is right.

Re: Michael Oher?
Again, better options available but I do like his work ethic. Id think if hes coming back it would be a 2 year deal, 3 tops and without really looking at what others are making, 2m/year. Hes not very good but id be interested in seeing how he does in this offense.

Re: Michael Oher?
Honestly I don't want Oher back either. I do wonder though if the Ravens feel the same way. He seems to be a Harbaugh favorite. He was given a lot of time at LT even though it was clear he was terrible there. He's never been benched no matter how poor his play. Hopefully they have seen the same thing that everyone else has and decide to move on.

Re: Michael Oher?
Im not a huge fan of Oher but he would be better than Winston. I think Oher, Wagner or a draft pick ends up as our right tackle this year.

Re: Michael Oher?
I like Oher for his "nastiness" when defensive players take cheap or late shots to Flacco or other offensive teammates...Oher protects Flacco well after the play is over!

Re: Michael Oher?
Have to respond on the work ethic angle. He's missed few career snaps, but the 2nd half, he let his game fall apart and for the first time it was an effort issue. He did not put the same effort into back-side run blocking that Monroe did. Both were playing for contracts and should have been fully motivated, but Oher just mailed it in.
Someone will pay Oher for his durability, but I don't see how to structure any cap-friendly multi-year contract for a player who is so little above to the replacement level. If he returns I'd like to see a 1-year deal in the $2-2.5 million range to give him another hungry year to earn his payday. As others have pointed out, there are a number of veterans who will play for that, so I'd have to believe "Hungry Oher" is better for a single season than all of the other older veterans available for that same 1-year deal.
Here is my season analysis of the Ravens OL. Please look at the graphs to see what I mean about the drop in Oher's performance after week 6.
