Oher is a bum

Oh let me guess... the doghouse. Harbs would rather lose than use the better player. RIGHT. Got it.

I think McKinnie's ass is immune to fire. Otherwise, he'd've been feeling the heat to get some of that incentive money. He's broke.

I know what you meant, and I agree with what you meant, but that's probably an unfortunate typo...

LOL - Someone must have double spiked my Christmas cheer or I need new glasses or both!

Oher is much better as a right tackle and seems to get beat consistently as a left tackle. He is a much better run blocker than a pass blocker and can't seem to adjust to the different angles of pass rushers.

But McKinnie is such a lazy turd he can't beat out one of the worst LT's in the game. THIS is all on him, PERIOD.

That being said they need to move Oher to LG and figure out somethin to do with LT this offseason. And next year leyt that be the deciding factor on whether or not to give him even a small contract. If he can play well and will take mid grade guard/tackle money that would be a win win for all.

Apparently he's not Tuesday-Friday.

Period.

McKinnie has been a better LT than Oher has been this year. That doesn't mean he is right now.

There always seems to be a contingent of fans who think The Guy On The Bench is much, much better than the guy on the field.

You don't practice....you don't play. A simple concept taught to everyone who has ever play sports at any level.

I saw enough of McKinnie early in the season when he came in as an extra tackle on the left side (next to Oher) on a jumbo formation or whatever they call it.

After the snap he watched a defender run right by him and blast into the backfield -- exactly the ONE thing that is NOT supposed to be allowed in that formation. McKinnie just stood there and watched. The ONE damn thing that idiot was asked to do and he put forth no effort. Screw him.

I agree completely. If he cared, he take the few opportunities he does get and go out there and kick some ass. Instead, he stands there like he has no clue.

Agreed. The guy has so much talent, and so little desire to actually use it. Put the burger down, and man up !

**leachisabeast** · 12-24-2012, 10:56 AM

I am one of the biggest supporters of getting a new franchise LT, but that doesn't mean Oher didn't play well in this game, he had a fine game minus the two BS penalties.

McKinnie didn't have to take a pay cut and get demoted. He could have said no and he would have been released. If he thought some other team was going to pay him what the Ravens were that's exactly what he would have done.
