Rocket94 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Ok Ed...You are probably seeing Donald in your sleep after all of the comparisons. Just stay humble. If your game is even close to his...we will take it. Edited August 1, 2019 by Rocket94 2
GreggTX Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Really looking forward to seeing this guy play and grow into everything he was in college and more. If Murphy and/or Shaq has a good year, we're in business. On 8/1/2019 at 8:23 PM, Rocket94 said: Ok Ed...You are probably seeing Donald in your sleep after all of the comparisons. Just stay humble.

Until then I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. 1

A lot to like in that text, that he's studying Donald and that he knows he's a rookie and needs to talk like it. I was so hoping he'd fall to 9th. Edited August 2, 2019 by Thurman#1 1

But McDermott is trying his best to humble him. Expand Yeah, many have posted about McDermott working to humble Oliver....but I have wondered if it is as much about bolstering Phillips' ego as it is about keeping Oliver's in check. Remember, Phillips felt out of favor with the Dolphins after run-ins with his coach...because he felt unappreciated. Maybe McDermott doesn't want him to think he is just getting thrown aside once the Bills have their new toy. Even if he eventually is a backup, it might help his ego to feel he was seriously considered as a starter. 1
Tsaikotic Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 I like it....it also might help Ed look good to Arron for in case Ed was to call him for advice on how to play DT some day and Ed didn't act like he was already as good or better then Arron...you never know 1

Until then I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Expand It looks like Oliver is starting to tear up camp. Whatever Edmunds said to him seems to have lit a fire under his ass. I believe that he will have an impact and be disruptive this year! Edited August 2, 2019 by Rocket94

I love it. 2
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 From what I hear, it's the wrong comparison. I am hearing John Randle! 2

Expand I like Chris Simms and his outside the box analysis. He has a nice non linear approach that explores all of a players strengths. Yeah, Simms raves about Allen where others do not. Look what he said about Vosean Joseph...he basically grouped him with the two Devins pre draft time.

eball Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Ed's comment raises an interesting question: how many people actually own 10-ft poles? And why are they 10 feet? Is it the decimal system? 1

Most people think he is a better pass rusher but just hasn't been given much of the opportunity yet playing out of position at the college level.

Most people think he is a better pass rusher but just hasn't been given much of the opportunity yet playing out of position at the college level. Expand He only played 1 full year of nose tackle in college. His first 2 years he was all over the line. They would stunt him around the end His biggest weakness is his hand technique which is directly related to pass rushing. He was top 10 multiple times in college for stuffing runs behind the line of scrimmage People think because he's 290 he can't stop the run but that's his specialty after re watching his college games He has a good amount to go to become a 12 sacks guy,( which he can become) but he will be shutting down backside runs all year Edited August 2, 2019 by Buffalo716
