JerseyBills Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 He forgot the snap where Oliver drove him into Brissett. Only 11 snaps , Bills know he's a beast . Man he's super quick . Special player, you can instantly tell. Brings it every play 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Heck of a draw to get Q Nelson. He is hands down an all pro guard with generational talent as well It was pre season but you know Nelson isn't going easy Good game to build on for Oliver... As I have been saying for a year about Oliver if there is one thing he needs to work on it's his hands with a counter move 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 he sure did get doubled quite a bit, yeah noticed he left out the play where Ed O pushed him back into Brissett also OP. Anyway, good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, the top of that draft was stacked. Denver got a very good pass rusher, and Cleveland got a good cornerback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 That’s a very good sign of things to come for Oliver. Loved the splitting between the pulling olinemen. That show instincts, physicality and speed. The three things a great dlineman needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 What to me stood out aside from his explosiveness is how he anchored himself on those double teams and didnt get wiped out of the play. In fact he actually made a tackle after a double team with Q involved, held his ground and still made the tackle at around the line of scrimmage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone who covers the NFL speak like a professional, use a player's actual name (how many times can you try to be cool and hip as a dorky suburban white guy and say Big Q?), stop screaming and yelling, avoid hyperbole, and have an actual informed conversation instead of a slang-ridden, hip-hop rap take? These idiots could take some lessons from anyone cover the English Premier League, who are technically superior to any of the jokers covering the NFL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remains to be seen, but prior to the draft he was talked about being one and as a rookie he earned 1st team AP All-Pro honors, so he's on the right track. And that Oliver was going up against the best OG in the NFL was the takeaway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson is going to be an all-pro for the next decade or so starting off with his rookie year. He was a near top of the draft selection who is playing up to his billing. Right now he is arguably the best guard in the game. He is a generational talent and a likely HOF player. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much football do you have to watch to determine a rookie O lineman (a Guard, no less) on a team outside of your division is better than all others in the NFL at his position AND better than nearly every player who has ever played that position in the games history?

Sometimes I think you just argue to argue. He was viewed as the best guard prospect coming into college in over a decade. Became first team All-pro his rookie year. For someone to take a guess that he will be a generational talent based off that is not a stretch and certainly not worth arguing about. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 The point is that Nelson, a starting guard in the NFL got pushed around by Oliver, a rookie playing in his first NFL game. No hyperbole needed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Quinton Nelson won that match up with Oliver. Its all good. Nelson is an all-pro guard and that was Oliver's first game in the league. Even still, Oliver did some good things--handling the double team, almost getting a sack, etc. I reallllly look forward to seeing what Oliver does to guards not named Nelson.

At worst you should be in the conversation for best ever if you are the best of a generation. Generation is thought of as about 15-20 years typically. Think, baby boomers, generation X, millenials, generation Z etc. Really in our more modern society it should be thought of as about 25-35 years with couples often waiting to their late 20's start families now.

Yeah closer to 30 makes more sense in today's world. Most people are not having kids at 18-20 years old. But if you look at the commonly defined spreads of for Gen X,Y,Z etc. they are usually up to 20 years but not longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
