Oher impressive in first practice
Fans got a glimpse at top draft pick Michael Oher, the right offensive tackle out of Mississippi.
You can instantly tell that Oher is a mauler, especially when it comes to run blocking. He has great quickness and explosion. He gets off the ball well. But he is going to have to work on his technique as far as pass blocking. He needs to sink his hips more which means he gets way too high. He also lunges and gets overextended a lot.
But in just one practice with pads on, Oher was impressive.
"He's going to be a beast," said Ravens defensive tackle Justin Bannan, who worked often against Oher in practice today.







Comments
Oher can probably sink his hips with better knee bend.
