Oher has been flat out awesome.
He was prepped for the right side since camp, played there the first 4 games and then all of the sudden had to switch to left and he made it look easy.
It is just not that simple to switch sides like that at tackle, and he did it against a guy who is leading the league in sacks and handled him with no problem.
He is a keeper.
I have to say I about fell off my sofa when the Chiefs took Jackson at 3......sorry. Very rarely are 3-4 ends going to be impact players, and that is what you would expect out of a pick that high. Could have traded down 3 times and still got him probably in the 20's at about 1/5th the cost.
Who am I to question Pioli though, I guess he had his reasons. I think he took the term 'safe pick" to another level that is for sure.
