    With the retirement of right tackle Willie Anderson seeming imminent, the Ravens would lose a veteran presence on a very young offensive line. But rookie Michael Oher has comfortably stepped into that starting vacancy. Oher, the Ravens' first-round draft pick this year, took all the reps with the first team during this week's passing camp. And because Adam Terry (knee) and Oniel Cousins (chest) are hurt, Oher hasn't come off the field with the second and third units, as well. "I feel good. I know I'm going to work hard and I know I'm going to do my best to learn everything, and I'm going to compete," Oher said. "All I know is competing. I'm definitely going to have to earn my job and come to play every day." "He's a guy that really learns quickly," said offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. "On Monday, he saw some things he hadn't seen before, but on Tuesday, he responded to the corrections. As a rookie, that's one of the hardest things to do, make those corrections quickly. "What he brings to the table for us is going to show when we get him in pads. He's just a big, physical man, and in this environment, he's done very well."
