NewEra Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I thought he’d get 2 vs Rosen. I’ll say zero vs Fitz 2
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 3 hours ago, Mr. SpacePuppy said: I’ve watched everyone. I suggest you take you rose colored glasses off when your watching. I suggest you go back and watch again, particularly the New England game. Please pay close attention to the plays when Brady was chased from the pocket and had to run out to his right and throw the ball away. There were several of these in the game. You'll notice that he was unable to step up into the pocket as he normally does because Oliver had quick penetration. I understand that fans want to see sacks and quarterbacks knocked on their backsides but forcing a throw away on third down to get the defense off the field is also a great outcome. It's also interesting to notice the lack of double teams on Hughes this year. Teams recognize that they can't slide the guard out to help on Hughes and reach block Oliver with the center. Oliver's quickness prevents this. IMHO Oliver is doing exactly what the Bills drafted him to do and I bet that they are very pleased with him. 1
hemma Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I think their starting Center is out, so their OL may be quite the mess -- especially with crowd noise. Could be a tough day for the Fins. 1
machine gun kelly Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Not sure on his sacks, but he will pressure Fitz enough to throw at least a couple of picks.
H2o Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, Mr. SpacePuppy said: Oliver has already meet his sack total for the year....ZERO! He’s too small to shed blocks. Sure he gets pressures but he has yet to break away from a lineman. He needs to put on some mass. Really? Did you see him against Quinton Nelson, the Guard widely considered the best in the game right now? Yeah, probably not. QB's have been getting the ball out quickly against us due to the interior pressure, mostly sparked by Oliver. He hasn't come close to "meet his sack total" by any means. But when he does "meet" his first sack tomorrow, just know Fitz will be the answer to another trivia question some years down the road. Edited October 19, 2019 by H2o
EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Don’t get caught up in the numbers. He’s been a beast. And as much gratification as it’d probably serve him, I am not going to evaluate his play thus far by a statistic. He plays a position that, aside from Aaron Donald, notoriously lacks big stats. Numbers can not accurately reflect what he has brought so far to this defense. 3
CommonCents Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I was tough on Oliver but he has played well. It also helps my nephew got a big high five from him when he was running off the field after the home opener. I will forever be a fan of Oliver, he was the highlight of the little guy’s trip. 3 1

He opens things up allowing other defenders to make plays. His "numbers" will eventually improve. Every Sunday he is close to getting a sack, but it is the little things that make him effective.
inthebuff Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Oliver could get his first sack today...and I'm sure whether or not he gets that sack today or next week or the week after that the Bills are very happy with him. He's been playing well.
frostbitmic Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 1 Early in the game, he'll be the first to reintroduce Fitz to the Orchard Park turf.
r00tabaga Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 1 in the 1st... 2 in the 2nd... 7 in the 3rd... 10 in the 4th... My math adds up to 20 as well. 1
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I think he'll get some pressure and disruption but I don't see a sack by him. fitz gets rid of the ball too fast and doesn't take many sacks.
Hebert19 Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 He will get one. Coverage/hustle sack when Fitzgerald tries to extend play. 1

Miami’s Oline is a disaster, still don’t understand why they would trade Tunsil. Edited October 19, 2019 by wppete
