Oliver

Watch Oliver on his blitz pickup. You never really know who is supposed to block who, but damn if he isn't the best rookie RB at pass protection I have ever seen. And none of this weak ass cut block shit, he runs right up to the blitzer and hits him in the chest before the guy comes through the line.

I wish we could put Oliver on the d-line too.

Not ready to disparage Matthews just yet, he had a tremendous run last year that carried us to the post season. It's not like the guy isn't talented - he's just very frustrating to root for sometimes.

Hoping big time we get Mathews healthy again pretty soon. Can you imagine what a one-two punch that will be w/Oliver? I'm a big Mathews fan. He showed me he can put a team on his shoulders last December (even when hurting).

He's very talented, and I don't want him anywhere near the ball with the game on the line.

I agree. I like Mathews and think he is a really good RB. We should be able to celebrate Oliver without putting down Mathews. Personally I like what I see from Oliver but he has only done it for two full games. I want to see him continue to play well and stay healthy.

Agreed. Oliver is the future. Mathews is done here. They'll draft someone in the mid rounds to replace him. That said, Mathews can still help us this year.

You mean like he was last year?

[Thunder Thighs]

Oliver's blocking in two games is better thananything Mathews ever did, it seems. When he was in, Ronnie Brown was lights out as a blocker today, I thought.

Agree but Oliver isnt THE future. He is a part of the future. He doubt he will be our cowbell all year long. He is forced into it now. He is a stout short guy but when others are healthy, he will share the load. Where Mathews falls into to that, i dont know. I guess it depends on how much he asks for. I doubt he will get a big deal. They may let him walk as well. Donald Brown has been terrible imo.

[Antonio's Gates]

Oliver is an every down back though. That's where he differs from sproles. I didn't really like how Ronnie was in on every third down. He does nothing that oliver can't do himself.

Btw is it safe to say draughn gets cut when Mathews comes back?
