OT Michael Oher released by Panthers

Thinblueline : 7/20/2017 6:18 pm
Says he failed physical due to concussion issues but then says he didn't agree with firing of thier GM may have had something to do with it... I say bring him in for a look!
I'm all for kicking the tires  
odunde : 7/20/2017 6:25 pm : link
but serious question- assuming the Giants are committed to Flowers at left tackle, what would we do with Oher? Does he have potential at right tackle?
Given our tackle situation ...  
FStubbs : 7/20/2017 6:25 pm : link
... you'd have to kick the tires. May not be any tread left on them though.
Agreed  
BlueManFu : 7/20/2017 6:26 pm : link
There's zero downside to bringing him in at vet minimum. This team needs more legit options at Tackle, that is not debatable.
Isn't he being investigated for beating up an Uber driver

or something?
Yep just looked

Gettleman gave him a chance after he had an awful stint in Tennessee, and Oher repaid him with his best season ever.

Too bad about the concussions, though. He missed thirteen games last year.

He didn't miss a game (or a start) in his first five years (with Baltimore). Then, he missed five games in his one year with Tennessee (turf toe). His game really suffered, too. 2015 he was a rock, again, for Carolina, and then last year was a disaster for him.

and watching "Blind Side" at the same time....absolute crap on tv, so channel surfing and internet surfing at the same time...
Blind Side

is on Spike TV right now. Big Mike just blocked #66 out of the park.

Bring him in!
I think the guy should retire. That last concussion didn't go away  
Ira : 7/20/2017 9:31 pm : link
for a long time. The next one might cause permanent damage.
check his medicals  
spike : 7/20/2017 9:36 pm : link
and possibly make an offer!
Never happen! Didn't Jints have a couple of chances to sign him?  
Ivan15 : 7/20/2017 10:19 pm : link
When he went to Tennessee and then to Carolina?

I think he was a free agent before.
Why are there so many fans who want to bring in old, slow, used up

players, and players coming off of injuries? The Giants are always looking to get younger, faster, and healthier.
Ironic that it happened  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 7/21/2017 11:58 am : link
on the same day Freeze resigned from Ole Miss.

According to Blind Side, the Giants' coaches will simply have to tell Oher that protecting the QB is like protecting his family and he'll proceed to dramatically pancake all comers.
It's that easy.  
Beezer : 7/21/2017 9:38 pm : link
For Sandra Bullock.
So, now this happened

Oher bites Uber driver - ( New Window )
On concussion protocol since week 3 last year?

Bites Uber driver?

Anyone thinking CTE?

Because neither Flowers or Hart have Proven themselves as capable NFL Tackels. Yes they've worked their asses off this offseason but the T spot on the Giants is a huge question mark. And if they tear it up they can cut him before the season. Reese has done a great job at GM except for the OL. it's a huge concern for anyone who's watched this team the last 5 years.

Why wouldn't you bring ina proven starter to push the young guys?

Mahn CTE is a risk for any player who plays. What we don't know most often is how many concussions or brain injuries some of These kids had before the NFL.

What is also unknown also for what I know is if some people are more predisposed to CTE. Just as some people are more predisposed do Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and even say Diabetes.

NFL Has taken a beating on concussions but IMO the repeated trauma of 1000s of hits may be worse. I'm sure if you have a concussion isn't a good thing to add on.
