Still thinking/hoping that this will fizzle out and Shady plays w/o any suspension this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Regardless of the outcome of this McCoy Saga, I support adding talent to the HB stable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he had any success in the NFL? Hes mostly been a #3 except his rookie year when he actually started a decent amount He is a north south runner. A bowling ball who always falls forward and doesn’t waste any necessary movement he gets better with more touches. He is a guy that wears a defense down throughout a game Edited July 13, 2018 by Buffalo716 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who watched him live at UB countless times yes I wouldn’t be against it. He is good enough to play in the league and find success with the right scheme He is a better runner than Cadet where Cadet is a better catcher out of the backfield... he also might have more juice left than ivory for a full season so i think he is a good battle for the 2-3 spot. He will excel in a power scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched many of his games at UB. A couple of shifty moves but mainly a short-muscular north-south runner that gets hidden behind the huge linemen. Before the D finds him Oliver is usually 5 yards downfield.... or in college he was breaking away from the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#34fan Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) LOVE this kid... But we might be a few years too late... We should have picked him up out of UB back in '14!!!...-Too much talent gets stolen from our backyard. Let's not f#!* things up again with Anthony Johnson and Tyree Jackson in 2019!!!
