I agree and can see him posting upwards of 8 sacks and much more pressure up the middle which will as a result lead to better numbers from the outside! I’m excited to see him this year for sure

At the risk of insulting usually reasonable people, his detractors have no clue what the hell they're actually looking at :devil:

Well I was looking at the top 25 DT list and guess who’s NOT on it , need a clue ?

If Ed is playing his natural 3-Tech position this year, and we are getting solid 1-Tech play from Star or Harry, then I am expecting anywhere between 10-14 sacks and 10 more tfl's to go along with it. I think last year's experience will help him even more so because of the fact he faced those double teams for a majority of the season while playing out of position. If you can take on and get wins against two 300lb+ starting OL'man, then going against one is gonna be like you gave a fat kid a box of Ho Hos. Ed's gonna eat.

If he doesn't replicate Aaron Donald numbers this year, he's a bust!

Or not...

He's already pretty solid. Any improvement will be nice, but he's done well.

Just hypothetically if we were to trade Oliver what could we get for him ?? 
 

At this moment, in his career? 🤔 

 

I would like to think, at least, a bottom half of the first round pick...but it’s really hard to tell because he really hasn’t done much to stand out...potential is still there, but who knows?

You really never know what NFL GMs really think about a player until he is available. 

 

Honestly if we got a 2nd that would be a win, if we were trading him, which I do not support doing.

 

His potential is better than his actual value right now is all.

We have Star for that , Oliver was drafted to put pressure and get to the QB 

Exactly, but the fact Ed was the next best Star replacement and did a solid job is eye opening.

I'm not an Ed Oliver fan.  He just doesn't make enough plays for a 9th overall pick.  If he develops this year, I'll be more than happy to be wrong.

I find it very difficult to ascertain what exactly he is supposed to do on any given play. God knows it can't be trying to make the tackle. I have never seen him hold a double team either. Not saying he didn't, but I never saw it. I like to think I watch closely but I don't watch like I used to (I use to watch the game in slow-mo and really break it down. I think it may be the only way to really know.) His stats are terrible and he is often the last one to react after the snap. This is weird because he moved very fast at the snap in college. I think we play a weird defense that was never successful in Buffalo before so it is hard to judge what a player is supposed to do in this D. We're used to attacking defenses and simple ball.

if Anyone recalls, Kyle never rushed the passer once McD was here either, so WTF?

I have also seen Tremaine not attack the ball where he was clearly frustrated that he could not (because that is what he is coached to do, keep the ball in front of him.)

Oliver is a much better player than Edmunds IMO

I hope both will take a big step this year , we need our top 5 defense back to make a run at the SB !!!

They've been saying this about Oliver since college. At some point we just have to say he is what he is.
