Oliver

[Millionaire Wussy]

Don't get too excited. The media guys on ESPN (first take?) say the only way a guy like Oliver has a game like he did is because the Jets defenders gave up because the offense was so bad.

I'm just happy for the little guy. Seems like such a nice and humble kid. He is not very fast, but he gets a lot of positive yards and he can make people miss. And he runs with a lot of power because he is very heavy for someone that short. And he is not chubby like Tolbert; guy is ripped.

I thought Tolbert danced too much. I always wanted him to run more north and south...especially north.

That thread was locked, so I couldn't bump it. Kudo's to chris9431.

Yep Chris nailed it......but of course no good deed goes unpunished:nod:

Super stoked on Oliver. But also wanted to point out that Donald Brown was running pretty good before exiting the game. Looked like the boys up front really dominated, which is the only thing this offense was missing.

Very true. After watching that hit Brown took I very much enjoy watching Oliver stay low when he runs.

I was pissed off at the guys in the booth wondering out loud why that was unnecessary roughness. I mean, shit, this is precisely the type of play the rules are meant to protect against. One does not tackle by grabbing at a player's neck and ripping upwards. There should be a fine for that hit.

As OIP noted, and I saw this on the GDT, the block on the Green non-TD was excellent. I don't think he's a liability there. I'm concerned primarily with another mistimed injury through playing time, but that's not predictable. Saying this, I still want RM back, but he doesn't need to rush back.

I know I said that Oliver was going to be a gem and even after one game he still has a lot to prove but honestly I would like to have Mathews in there as the starter and have Oliver be the backup and especially the 3rd down back. People say he's no Darren Sproles but he did put a couple of juke moves on the NY Jets defenders on the 3rd down pass play that went 50 yards.

How do u pick up guys before waiver period when they have played?

Yeah, it's a really stupid set-up. I don't think the commissioner knew there was a loophole. I didn't even notice until last week when guys were picking up players mid-'game'. And only after I had lost out on several top-notch pickups, I decided to make sure I got Oliver. LOL

Looked like he clothes-lined him.

The Jets defense gave up? I wish someone would tell Philip Rivers that. He was hammered yesterday. I don't agree with the ESPN dudes.

Yeah, Rivers has taken some big hits the last two weeks. What was wrong with him on the play where he was slow getting up yesterday? Wind knocked out of him?

I read somewhere that's what happened on that play.

Sprolbert!

And I'm sticking with it.

[Oliver] would say the same thing --
