However, I have watched a couple of lengthy "recap" videos that featured a couple dozen plays both offense and defense. The one thing that jumped right off the screen at me, was Right side of the OL. Pretty much every play that I watched, the defense was immediately in the backfield, coming from the Right. Not just one man, but several.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that it's tough to make any sort of fair assessment, by looking at about a dozen offensive plays. The Dallas game will be live, on NFLN, which I subscribe to. I'll be able to give a more informed opinion of not just Ogbuehi, but the OL as a unit, after watching a game in it's entirety.
With that said, I've been reading mixed reports on Ogbuehi's individual performance from Thursday night, on here. Some are saying that he held up well in pass protection, but foundered in the running game, others just state that he still sucks. From what few plays that I watched, the problem is much bigger than just the RT position. Blocking at RG and TE on that side seemed non-existent, as well.
Same, out of market would never pay for ESPN. So just have to go off highlights unless they put the game on
Youtube or something. I am thinking of getting Playstation Vue one of these days, that will be nice.
The people that just say Og sucks and don't explain why i don't listen to. When he plays weak and doesn't even
try that is what is truly unacceptable. Saw him stand up Dunlap in TC and heard he stood up another End in this
Bears game so i still say keep him around unless he doesn't show anything the next 3 Preseason games.
Fisher playing so bad is what concerns me and honestly surprised me, still had hopes for this guy, sad.

The bad part about the backups is they were up against back ups, especially the 3rd and 4th string. Perkins was in that 3rd group playing against 3rd groups and that is why his play concerned me. Jake Fisher could not block anyone in pass or game. He has really disappointed me as I had high hopes for him and I don't care he had a health issues, so did OB with the major knee surgery.
Westerman made the best run block i have seen in quite awhile on the Brian Hill run and graded as our best
O-lineman. I think we found our RG, happy that Hart showed well. Still, i would trade our backups for others
come cut down day if Og and Fisher continue to struggle.
Lap talked highly of Perkins in TC, will have to give him a pass, he needs more snaps to truly judge him.
