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?

Ogbuehi, going into his third season, has a lot to prove still. He's replacing Whit, who was a better player in all phases of the position. Remember that Whit had whole seasons where he only gave up 1 sack. Og may not have a whole game where he doesn't give up a sack. That's a huge difference.
