BillsFan4 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Our defensive line as a whole looked night and day different from last season. We can finally get pressure on the QB again! 11 1
Doc Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I was upset he didn't get the sack on Darnold. 7

DCofNC Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Wow, i thought he was pretty much invisible today. The tackle he made on the outside was pretty nice though. Guess I missed some. Shaq coming from the inside looks like he should be moved there permanently. He can't get home from the outside, but interesting in the middle. Edited September 9, 2019 by DCofNC
The Firebaugh Kid Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Hes being doubled alot. When he wasnt....he got in quick. Hes a special talent. 4

PromoTheRobot Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Two Week 1 studs from this draft class. At least two more contributors. 3
Dadonkadonk Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Oliver's second half play was great. Hopefully the first half was just nerves. He was creating issues up front and for the most part the edge guys had one on one matchups most of the day. If he can get penetration or command double teams consistently the pass rush is going to be so much better this year. 1
wppete Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 He looked fantastic today! Disruptive up the middle, blowing up the pocket and taking on double teams and driving them back in to the pocket. Very impressive!!! Came close on the sack and penetrated and a few running plays. Great start for the rookie and he will only improve from here!!! 6

Lurker Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Good. Debut. I just don't want to see him dropping into pass coverage anymore...
Reed83HOF Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 5) Ed Oliver looks impressive in debut Despite the few weaknesses of the defense, it was hard to come away from the Jets game being anything but impressed with rookie defensive tackle Ed Oliver. All game, you could see glimpses of high-end potential. In one-on-ones, Oliver could brush aside a defender. He showed well on runs in between the tackles. Oliver showed a pass-rushing ability — heck, he even had the athleticism to drop back into coverage. Among all the things to review on film, seeing Oliver’s ability from the end-zone angle tops the list. While he didn’t put up eye-popping statistics, it seemed like he continued to be a nuisance for the Jets offensive line throughout the game. Between Oliver and the performance of middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, the Bills have to be feeling reasonably optimistic about their two young core defensive players. https://theathletic.com/1195162/2019/09/08/seven-observations-from-bills-win-over-jets-josh-allen-is-still-inconsistent-and-questioning-the-offensive-game-plan/ 6 1

We can finally get pressure on the QB again! This is why I believe we win more than 8 games this year AND make the playoffs! Well or course, the running game must contribute and take the pressure off Allen as was evident today. Any QB will make mistakes if he's doing nothing but chucking the ball an entire half.
Freddie's Dead Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Ed Oliver had a good game today. No major rookie mistakes except for that drop back, for which I can't blame him. Frazier, WTF you thinkin'? C'mon man, just turn this dog loose and let him hunt. 2

Shaq was out there plenty on early downs, Murphy was in their rush package. 1
