Ed Oliver: “I can’t touch Aaron Donald with a 10-ft pole”

[YoloinOhio]

Good humble answer (really the only answer, but you know how some of these guys egos are) and love that he is studying him so closely 

 

Oliver has been a terror this week at camp

I gotta say, Ed sure is a humble guy, and or he knows what he wants people to think about him.  Me thinks he is gonna be an absolute beast.

 

Go Bills!!!

I don’t know if he’s humble. He didn’t seem like it in the embedded series. But McDermott is trying his best to humble him.

I love that he's also getting so much one on one time with Kyle Williams to help him hone his skills.

 

I would bet that Kyle would be a coach on this staff if it weren't for his desire to be home in Louisana to spend time with his kids now.  He made a big point about all of that last year after he made his announcement, and I bet he doesn't want to be on a staff as a coach up here, because it would be just like being a player.  He'd need to uproot the family, etc... but this year is the first time he doesn't need to do that.  Rather he gets to enjoy his kids, but you just can't take football out of the guy.  

 

So he's up here for camp, but will go home to his family for the season mostly....

I'm much more interested in what he does on the field than anything he does or doesn't say.

Yeah, I see that, but he shows respect to other players with his words thus far.  I think coach is trying to get him to realize that flying a bit under the radar is a good thing at this point of his career as it were.  Coach does indeed run the roost at OBD. 

 

Go Bills!!!

I'm loving Ed's effort and attitude. A stupid incident with a jacket, him being extremely confident in an interview, and him getting upset about messing up in practice aren't going to persuade me otherwise.

So far he is showing his potential at camp, we shall see when the season starts.

 

Go Bills!!!

Right thing to say, Ed Oliver usually says the right thing so no shock there.

 

I wonder if he really  believes it.

[Buffalo716]

Well he hasn't done anything and he's a rookie so yea he has a long way to go

 

He is a better run stuffer than pass rusher rn so it be crazy to think he will be Donald like out the gate

I see a guy who was ready to be a pro after his freshman year in college and has been bored for two years.  He knows he is talented, but he is relishing every moment and can't wait for the lights to come on and the games to mean something.  He is soaking up every bit of knowledge he can.  I can't wait to see him play.

Donald might be the best DT ever so it would be hard to pass him.  But EO should be a beast in his own way.  One of my favorite picks in a long time.  And I love the humbleness, it’s such a better way to go about things.  

[GunnerBill]

Ed Oliver is going to be a star. 

[Drunken Pygmy Goat]

He also said he was kicked out of practice yesterday for bruising Josh Allen, and said it was just a matter of time. Someting similar in college as well.

 

Gotta tone it down a bit against your own, but you have to love that kind of intensity from a rookie DT.

[eball]

Ed is going to make a lot of OCs (and QBs) nervous.  And just watch Jerry's and Trent's sack numbers rise this year.

Better to have to reel a guy in, than try to have to amp up his intensity

He is definitely on pace to be top 1 or 2 of all time.  Has a bit of work to do to catch John Randle.

Great, now we need a 10 foot Defensive tackle from Poland

Of course...the QB wont be able to step up in the pocket to avoid them now
