If he did then it wasn’t by much. Oliver might have some starting potential, but if so he’d be a low end starter. I’d say they are pretty comparable as guys who really should be #4 WR type guys.

Alcibiades Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 22 hours ago, SleepingTitan said: He has all the physical tools. Seems to be studious and ambitious. His strengths are JC's weaknesses and vice versa. I expected him to develop faster, but if he's ready mid season to take over or even just fill in for a few games, that would be HUGE Yeah, having Duncan as the swing OT would be a HUGE relief. Our depth at OT is scary otherwise. I'm not sure I like our starter at LT, but he's at least a starter in the league. Duncan stepping up would do us a LOT of favors. Now, if we could get some decent depth in the interior... SleepingTitan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Slater seems like good interior depth. Hance is probably good at guard, too. And Levin has been a solid backup C. Rupcich at least has the chance to grab a roster spot, too.

Oliver can get open easily in man. NWI is a perfect example of how bad the WRs were for years. He's a backup that we had to rely on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's developing. Levin same thing. They're trash cans unless they've magically changed under Bill C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 (edited) Not too much discussion or reports on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson , for ever to be known as BCD , the UDFA from Florida, that we paid $250K to come to our camp... Has anyone seen anything about this possible backup RT?? Edited August 3 by Nash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen anything about this possible backup RT?? I heard a little positive talk about him a few days ago and nothing glaringly negative, but that’s not much to go by and he’s facing 3rd string edges.

Bongo59 Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 I think Oliver has the ability to be a strong number two. He seems to know what he is doing and he made plays as a rookie. I mentioned last yr he reminded me of DMase skill set as a WR. He does not have the ST skills of DMase but I like his game. I think he might be the #2 this year over the rookies now that Burks is gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 NWI was so obviously JAG. Same with Oliver. They can look decent because theres no other options. NWI was scoring TDs because people forgot obout him. He didnt scare anyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
