DCofNC Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Wow, i thought he was pretty much invisible today. The tackle he made on the outside was pretty nice though. Guess I missed some. Shaq coming from the inside looks like he should be moved there permanently. He can't get home from the outside, but interesting in the middle.

Dadonkadonk Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Oliver's second half play was great. Hopefully the first half was just nerves. He was creating issues up front and for the most part the edge guys had one on one matchups most of the day. If he can get penetration or command double teams consistently the pass rush is going to be so much better this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 He looked fantastic today! Disruptive up the middle, blowing up the pocket and taking on double teams and driving them back in to the pocket. Very impressive!!! Came close on the sack and penetrated and a few running plays. Great start for the rookie and he will only improve from here!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed83HOF Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 5) Ed Oliver looks impressive in debut Despite the few weaknesses of the defense, it was hard to come away from the Jets game being anything but impressed with rookie defensive tackle Ed Oliver. All game, you could see glimpses of high-end potential. In one-on-ones, Oliver could brush aside a defender. He showed well on runs in between the tackles. Oliver showed a pass-rushing ability — heck, he even had the athleticism to drop back into coverage. Among all the things to review on film, seeing Oliver’s ability from the end-zone angle tops the list. While he didn’t put up eye-popping statistics, it seemed like he continued to be a nuisance for the Jets offensive line throughout the game. Between Oliver and the performance of middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, the Bills have to be feeling reasonably optimistic about their two young core defensive players. https://theathletic.com/1195162/2019/09/08/seven-observations-from-bills-win-over-jets-josh-allen-is-still-inconsistent-and-questioning-the-offensive-game-plan/ 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can finally get pressure on the QB again! This is why I believe we win more than 8 games this year AND make the playoffs! Well or course, the running game must contribute and take the pressure off Allen as was evident today. Any QB will make mistakes if he's doing nothing but chucking the ball an entire half.

Freddie's Dead Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Ed Oliver had a good game today. No major rookie mistakes except for that drop back, for which I can't blame him.

You could tell the Jets feared him and it was creating plenty of opportunities for others. I saw him get some penetration, just didn't see him finishing plays, looked like he couldn't get off the blocks a lot if times. I have been looking back at the game and I see more if what he was doing in retrospect. Pretty good game, especially for the first one out of the gates. He certainly caused Darnold some headaches, even if they dont go down as anything in the stat sheet. Shaq seemed to benefit from him quite a bit and that was nice to see, also liked when they put Shaq inside and let him rush the passer, that might be a better place for him. Use him more like a JJ Watt, outside on early downs, scoot him inside and let him use his quickness and inline skills to get after the passer on passing downs. The two of them inside on passing situations should be a nightmare for teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty quiet the rest of the day, but that was pretty impressive. Still, Ed flashed throughout the day. Looking forward to more of the same next week.
