YoloinOhio Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 4) Ed Oliver looking the part- During last week's open practice, first-round pick and defensive tackle Ed Oliver wore a non-contact jersey to signal that he's a limited participant, and restricting him from team drills. Oliver returned as a full participant in this practice and showed off that rare movement ability that he has for the defensive tackle position. It started with positional drills, when Oliver was on his knees and hitting the sled for the drill. He extended his arms and snapped the sled up in the air, all the while with his body having the flexibility and quickness to bring his chest down to the ground and then back up with effortless fluidity for the next rep. In team drills, his speed to get through the gaps of the patchwork interior line stood out just as it did in the first week of OTAs. He even made the entire offense run a penalty lap -- coaches included -- because he quickly took advantage of Wyatt Teller's flinch to bring on a false start penalty. That drew the ire of Brian Daboll mid-lap, and it was clear the offensive coordinator wasn't happy. However, if these spring workouts are any indication, it will be a treat to watch him during one-on-ones this summer at training camp. And as he continues to impress, it feels like only a matter of time until he moves ahead of Jordan Phillips on the depth chart. https://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/joe-b-7-observations-from-2019-buffalo-bills-minicamp-day-one 8 2 5
Patrick Duffy Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I can definitely see him making opposing teams OL get flagged for false start quite often with how quick he is. Looking forward to seeing him in preseason.
Your Brown Eye Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Daboll could use a couple extra laps , that man is a chunker 2 1 16 2

YoloinOhio Posted June 11, 2019 Author Posted June 11, 2019 Just a coincidence that all the OL have some mysterious “injuries” popping up so they don’t have to practice .. ? 6
Wagon Circler Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 The man hits the sled well. Good. Let's not measure him for a gold jacket just yet. Slow down the hype train. 1

Rico Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Lot of injuries at WR... "During team drills, here was the rotation as I tracked it: 1: John Brown, Andre Roberts, Isaiah McKenzie (slot), Victor Bolden, Jr. (first-sub), Duke Williams (first-sub), Ray-Ray McCloud (slot, first-sub) 2: Victor Bolden, Jr., Duke Williams, Ray-Ray McCloud (slot), Da'Mari Scott (first-sub), Cam Phillips (first-sub), Isaiah McKenzie (slot, first-sub), David Sills V (subbed in when no third-team reps given), Nick Easley (slot, subbed in when no third-team reps given) 3: David Sills V, Cam Phillips, Nick Easley (slot), Isaiah McKenzie (subbed in as boundary receiver)" but only a 3rd-stringer.
BillsFan17 Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Player does well in practice, dont crown em yet. Player does poorly in practice, and hes a bust! I thoroughly enjoy those who boil it down so black and white. 1

Not a big deal. After all, Oliver is still second string (for maybe one more weak, anyway).... Edited June 12, 2019 by Lurker
