YoloinOhio Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 4) Ed Oliver looking the part- During last week's open practice, first-round pick and defensive tackle Ed Oliver wore a non-contact jersey to signal that he's a limited participant, and restricting him from team drills. Oliver returned as a full participant in this practice and showed off that rare movement ability that he has for the defensive tackle position. It started with positional drills, when Oliver was on his knees and hitting the sled for the drill. He extended his arms and snapped the sled up in the air, all the while with his body having the flexibility and quickness to bring his chest down to the ground and then back up with effortless fluidity for the next rep. In team drills, his speed to get through the gaps of the patchwork interior line stood out just as it did in the first week of OTAs. He even made the entire offense run a penalty lap -- coaches included -- because he quickly took advantage of Wyatt Teller's flinch to bring on a false start penalty. That drew the ire of Brian Daboll mid-lap, and it was clear the offensive coordinator wasn't happy. However, if these spring workouts are any indication, it will be a treat to watch him during one-on-ones this summer at training camp. And as he continues to impress, it feels like only a matter of time until he moves ahead of Jordan Phillips on the depth chart. https://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/joe-b-7-observations-from-2019-buffalo-bills-minicamp-day-one 8 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Johnson Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 There is a lot to look forward to on this D-line. Hughes facing fewer double teams. Oliver will have an adjustment period but we haven't had a DT that can get in the paint since KW was in his prime. Shaq is playing for the big second contract. All signs are looking up for Murphy. Add in the situational pressure from Lorax and this is a team that could really make opposing QBs uncomfortable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
