It’s a great story and all, but he’s got no business being in the NFL, as a player. Let's make D.H's dream come true and allow him to become a Steeler!

Mr. Wonderful Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 These predictons are stupid. No one can predict anything at this point. Wait until the pads are on and training camp wraps up before anyone has any clue if any of these guys can play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see it happening though, especially in his rookie season. If he's a Pat Williams I'm happy! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same thing on draft night when the idiot analyst said he would be great playing next to Oliver. He's his backup longterm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's his backup longterm. He’s basically Harrison Phillips. A very good backup with high character, leadership from a great academic school. And both 3rd round picks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Digg? Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 17 hours ago, SoonerBillsFan said: Why not? Until this last year Oliver was a bust. He was on fire until he hit his bonus. Why would it be a bad thing if he can out perform him? It means the team improves and isn't that the goal? Imagine both being on the field for passing downs? Oliver was never a bust. He didn’t consistently play at the level we all thought he would, but not even close to a bust. You’re quite extreme with the use of that word 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybrew1 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 21 hours ago, wppete said: Nice effort with your overall write up but there is absolutely no way Dwayne Carter “could push for a starting job” at 3-tech when we have one of the best in the NFL in Ed Oliver who is also one of our best players. Carter will be a good backup and insurance just incase of injury. He’s a good player but doesn’t come close to Ed Olivers level. Boy! Crazy stuff going on…. One guys says Oliver was a bust his first three seasons and anther thinks Ed is one of the best in the NFL; both are nuts…. Ed is a solid football player. Nothing special but a decent starter….He can look like an all-pro vs. jags that play him one on one and can completely disappear vs. all-pro guards or double teams. Ed is actually a decent one-tech as well…solid, but unspectacular…. McBeane probably gets a C for drafting him… Average. Much like Groot, who is also a solid football player but nothing special. McBeane gets a B grade for drafting him though because he was a much later pick…. PS - Bills desperately need a blue chip type player on the DL. Someone that can make our DL dynamic. Someone that commands a OC’s attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re quite extreme with the use of that word Fro being the 9th overall pick he was being a bust. The 34th or so pick then no. At #9 you expect them to play at a certain level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you think that they either meet expectations or they are a bust. Sorry if I'm off, but like I said it seems like a bit of an extreme view point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paup 1995MVP Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 11 hours ago, NastyNateSoldiers said: If he's a Pat Williams I'm happy! 😄 Great reference point. Pat Williams had a very good NFL career with us and the Vikings. Real good guy too. I have never even seen Dewayne Carter play. (Duke football is not usually appointment TV) However, from I have heard he sounds like a solid pickup. Hopefully he plays at Ed Oliver's level as he grows into an NFL player. And if he can be better then Ed at some point (Ed has been good, but not great) even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone that commands a OC’s attention. That's an interesting perspective. We do not have a big time stud type of guy on the D Line right now. But are we really in desperate need of one? That's seem a bit over the top. Having a bunch of high motor good D Lineman will work just fine. And if any can play above that even better. I would be happy if AJ Rousseau Oliver Jones Von and the rest were "good" every week. Because they certainly have not been "good" every week.

I wonder why teams don't create incentives solely for the playoffs. You might get guys fighting harder mentally when they physically are spent or the other way around. Idk. I'm dumb so maybe they already do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
