Thats what the analytics nerds say. You dont call rookie players busts.....its common sense. If they end up being busts....so be it.....but to say a player is a bust without even watching them for a full season is just stupid 1

Maybe you can can talk to coach and ask him for more PT. The bust-o-meter is picking up some signals.

I think Oliver is def a candidate for that....especially when he has been graded as one of our best run defenders already? He comes to us with insane freak physical ability.....but a bit raw in pass rush tools...which can be taught. You dont label a player like that a bust. If you want to be upset he has not given us production equiv to his draft position....there is an arguement for that. The DT drafted ahead of him has been even worse....this was supposed to be a draft rich in defensive linemen.....we took a DL in that draft. I like that philosophy 1

You're investing in a guy who has the potential to be a dominant pass rushing 3 tech DT. This investment will pay off; defensive line is a big transition from college because the pro o-linemen are better than anything Oliver saw in college. A WR is a little easier; understand the routes, run them and catch the ball. 1 hour ago, Joe in Winslow said: Lol wut If it was up to you, we wouldn't even draft defensive players.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 I think Oliver just needs to bulk up into the low 300 range. Oliver is physically gifted but he is a very young rookie and a starter. It wouldn’t surprise me to see slight improvements in his game as the season goes on.

Bust is out of league in three years and Zay will be in league for 8 years or more. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.silverandblackpride.com/platform/amp/2019/11/4/20947559/week-9-snap-counts-zay-jones-leads-all-offensive-weapons-in-snaps&ved=2ahUKEwjevOzbkdflAhUQbKwKHYfHAjkQiJQBMAJ6BAgCEAM&usg=AOvVaw2ZsY4B9VZ8XKV_EIigbTzW&cf=1 55 minutes ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: I think Oliver just needs to bulk up into the low 300 range.

How does one bulk up a dude who is already 285? How many wings? 200 a night? ? Edited November 7, 2019 by Buffalo Timmy Added link
Teddy KGB Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Snap counts ^^ ??? He catch any footballs ? 1

He catch any footballs ? zay is a marginal 4 in oakland and that’s most likely where he’ll stay, barring the guys ahead of him getting all 6 of their knees blown out. Oliver, I obviously have higher hopes for. We’ll see. But if Phillips is playing better right now Phillips should play. And that doesn’t make Oliver a bust (yet.) 1
