BigPappy Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Seriously dude, you should understand how the game is played before commenting. He has worked himself into a starting role because he has done EXACTLY what was expected of him. His job is to occupy blockers on the 0-line to free up our defensive tackles or LB's depending on formation and play and he has done that very well. Sit down and put the keyboard out of reach before you hurt yourself. 1

Best Player Available Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Ed Oliver eats his wings with Blue Cheese. That's good enough for me. He is going to pay huge dividends on the D-line.

GunnerBill Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Counter moves when an oline wins early is a concern. But not many oline men so far have been winning early. He saw plenty of double teams this week and he better get used to that because if I am an offensive coordinator scheming against the Bills I'd rather triple Oliver and let Star run at the Quarterback completely unblocked. Unless my QB stands on the same exact spot for 5 seconds Star isn't getting there. What will be interesting is when the Bills use their pass rush package and play Oliver and Zo inside as DTs. Because then as an OC suddenly I have to pick my poison. 1

Because they are better at it than you, me, and the rest of us on this forum, there are a lot of “I know better” types on every sports team forum, they do add minor entertainment, down side is they live in the negative Nancy land where nothing is good enough, ever. Just sayin. Go Bills!!!

Not sure how much they will use that package. The sub package they practiced a lot in camp was with Alexander as a pass rushing DT. Him and Oliver inside on obvious passing downs I think is hard to defend.

Oh I think Murphy - Zo - Oliver - Hughes is deadly. I just fear we would be too light in the middle and susceptible to a draw....am I off?

Really fast and instinctive linebackers - luckily McDermott has Edmunds and Milano.

During this preseason, I've really been watching Edmunds and he's just popping on the screen. Literally seeing him flying to the ball...I think he makes a major leap this year.

If we change our views of him being a slashing disruptive 3 tech and view him more as a NT then yes. Oliver may remind McDermott of a similar player he had, Brodrick Bunkley.

Bookie Man Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Maybe Cam was right. He needs an oxygen mask or inhaler or something. Lol wtf does that even mean??

I think the great thing with Edmunds is that if he doesn't get up to speed with MLB you can put him outside and he will be great. I still wish we could pair him with a Brandon Spikes type for those impact hits. He is still playing like he doesn't know how big he is lol.

Yeah I think Edmunds is going to be a star. Broderick Bunkley is not anywhere near the level or prospect Oliver is.
