NASHVILLE, Tenn. — When Ed Oliver took a trip to Florham Park, he dreamed of what could be possible while playing under new Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
They sat down and watched film of Aaron Donald, a fellow defensive tackle who became an immediate monster under Williams’ tutelage with the Rams. They watched other clips of Browns’ defensive linemen when Williams coached in Cleveland and envisioned how Oliver, the 6-foot-2, 287-pound Houston product, could thrive in such a scheme.
“I loved it,” Oliver said Wednesday at Nissan Stadium. “[I’m] just a physical player. A physical, dominant player.
