Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Michael Oher (the subject of the outstanding book The Blind Side and sure-to-be-godawful film of the same name) got his first start at left tackle yesterday, where he protected Joe Flacco’s blind side from Jared Allen.
Young Oher’s thoughts on one of the most feared pass rushers in the league? Eh.
“There is nothing really special about him. I think if we played them [in Baltimore], it would make a big difference. […] “I think he found out I’m an OK player,” Oher said. “Guy makes like $100 million. I think I did all right.”
Mr. Allen, your rebuttal?
“That’s just some idiot trying to talk himself up. I beat that dude like a red-headed step-child.”
Admittedly, I did not see much of that game, although Allen did have one sack and Oher had several false starts. We do not have an expert in step-child beatings on staff, so we’re unfortunately unable to confirm Allen’s claim.
