Fans gotta wait for Oliver to get more and more snaps/experience playing full seasons with a true 1 technique DT by his side taking on blue collar, lunch pail work to see if Oliver is the guy we drafted to be that disruptive 3 technique DT we saw at Houston.
Star, sitting out last year (not begrudging him his personal choice) definitely had an impact setting back Oliver’s development at the 3 technique at a pivotal time in a young player’s development. And, hopefully next offseason, Beane gets us a good 1 technique DT to take over for Star, my dream a Ted Washington type, to develop with Oliver (I wanted the 360lb kid from UF, Slaton this year). I hope with a true 1 technique DT, Oliver can play the 3 technique most snaps and develop into the player many of us were stoked to draft.
