I know Oliver is not going to be ready at all to block, but man it’s disappointimg to see him get steamrolled. Hopefully after cuts we can pick up a decent all around TE. I can’t imagine Oliver being on the field that much other than 3rd down if he is that bad at blocking.

I'm not worried about his blocking. He's an F tight end. The Y and the H guys do the lion's share of blocking. The F does the least.  His main job is to be a chess piece that can be moved around the formation to create mismatches in the passing game. 
So I just want to see him clean up his route running. If he gets that together he'll be fine in this offense.

True. It’s not that I’m worried about his blocking, we knew he was going to struggle there. I was expecting him to be somewhat useful so it doesn’t make the offense predictable (if he is on the field, likely a pass play). I guess what to expect this year is maybe something to how Evan Engram is used for the Giants. Optimistically in a year or two he is a Jimmy Graham clone hopefully.
