Fred Slacks Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 I think Ed Oliver has had like 3 sacks this season called back on CB's holding. Plenty of pressure up the middle too. Yesterday's game I think was an outlier for a lot of players on this team. Oliver will be resigned. 1 1 Quote

Simon Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Some items for all the wags who have been telling us how awful he is: > Ed Oliver not only led all DLinemen in tackles yesterday, he had twice as many as anybody else up front. - He had more tackles than all the other DT's on the roster combined - The fumble that Epenesa recovered would never have happened without Oliver's play so he also had a hand in a turnover - He also had the hustle play of the day when he sprinted 25 yards downfield on the opposite sideline and saved a 70+ yard TD Going into yesterday Ed Oliver led all Bills DT's in QB hits despite missing 3 1/2 games with injury He's also had multiple sacks taken away due to penalties on other players Just because you don't "notice him" or some talking head fails to mention him, doesn't mean he sucks. It means that if you can't see what he's doing then you don't know what you're looking for. Some folks ought to consider practicing some humility instead of spouting off about things that they don't understand.

Yes, it's the same utterly clueless crusader that you think it is Expand Good post. I was disappointed because the defensive line has not had a good past 2 games against the run and I didn't notice Oliver making much of a difference (and yes, I didn't hear his "name called" by the TV announcers). I was at the GB game and also didn't see/hear much from Oliver. He was great in LA (I was at that one too) before he hurt his ankle and then he was out for a few weeks. He had a great season last year. It's good to see some positive information and another viewpoint. I was in the "Oliver isn't doing much category." I'm now more in the "keep an open mind" category. Let's hope his name is called a lot next week. I recall in past seasons (maybe last year) the Bills run-D having a couple of bad games and the team making some adjustments. They were getting AJ Klein on the field, who played well. Hopefully, they can insert another LB who can help (given that Klein is no longer on the roster), and maybe Milano will be back too. If the run-D is solidified, that will take some of the negative attention off of the interior d-linemen like Oliver. 1 1 1 Quote
