I feel bad for Rosen / Fitz. Surely Oliver will get a sack against their sorry oline.

 

I hope he doesn’t hurt Rosen on the first sack, because he could play a little catch up on his sack totals if Rosen stays In!

I probably would have called you crazy if you told me that he would still be without a sack through 5 games. I think he’s due.

 

 

Of course I want him to get it, but I want his first one to be good, too.

 

Not just him running into the QB at the right time.  I want him to literally eat the Olineman in front of him and drop the QB like a sack of potatoes*.

 

 

 

 

* but just remember not to land on the QB.

I wonder if teams are keying on him, preventing him from getting sacks. 

 

Either way, I expect him to get 2 against the fish. 

 

On two of our sacks vs the Titans - the Zo one and the third Jordan Phillips one - Ed Oliver was doubled leaving his fellow DT (Zo was in at DT in their rush package on the play he got the sack) with a 1 on 1 to win and they did just that. 

 

EDIT: and on the third Phillips sack, Oliver beat the double team too and was at the Quarterback about half a tick after Phillips. Had Jordan not already got there that would have been Ed's sack.

This is awesome. Did you see the interview he did this week? The guy is so real, I love it.

He's like, "Yeah it was cool being home in Houston. but Grandma is using my old bedroom now, so I don't have my own bed. I want to go back to my house in Buffalo."

Too funny, I love that dude. He is going to be a fixture here for years to come.

Not saying he's Aaron Donald, but Donald only had 1 sack through his first 5 games and then finished his rookie year with 9. 

 

I see him more as a John Randle. Once he learns how to break off and separate there'll be a big jump in sack numbers.

The most effective thing for a pass rusher to do is hit the QB as he is releasing the ball or be right in his face as he is throwing it. Those cause turnovers. Sacks are nice, but if Oliver never gets a sack but causes tons of turnovers because of his pressures, that's a huge success.

I thought on one sack that Oliver should have been given a 1/2 sack.  He beat the double team and got there just a split second after Phillips but Oliver still cleaned it up too.
