He looked good in the run game, as usual, but he also held his own in pass protection very well. I only watched him closely for the first half, but he only was beaten once, and it was a nice move by the defender where he faked like he was going outside, waited until Obguehi started to move that way, and made a speed move underneath to get past him. It's not an excuse, but I think it was more of a great play by the defender than it was a lapse by Obguehi.
He was bullrushed on a great move once but held his own, even though he did get pushed back.
Anyone else notice his play?
We'd obviously need to see it consistently, but am I right in feeling a bit more at ease?
