Greg Olsen is an elite tight end

Greg trips me out (and frustrates the hell outta me sometimes) when he catches the ball and dances around trying to put a move on the defender.  Lol I'm not sure if it has ever even worked.  Then he goes down on contact.

 

If the dude could get just even a tiny bit of yards after contact he'd be pretty close to being neck-and-neck with Graham and Gronk.  He's great at finding holes in the defense and his hands are top notch.

 

He's a straight line speedster, Olsen just cant change directions fast. There's no frikkin way any safety or corner isnt going to get a piece of him when he catches under the coverage. If one guy gets a piece of him then a second guy is likely going to bring him down because he cant accelerate faster than the coverage backers once he gets touched. He slows quite a bit on contact and then its pretty much all over. When he catches over the shoulder in stride he can beat the DB's.

 

He's also not the best blocker as we know, but other than that he's elite. Catching, reading, adjusting to the ball, balance. . . I still cant believe Chi town just gave him to us.

He's gotten better in his blocking I think and seems to have been improving with it progressively.  He's not the best at it by any means, but if he keeps up the improvement he could be decent enough especially when combined with his threat as a receiver.

 

Agree with you on everything though.  If he had just a tad bit more burst and could gain yards after contact a little better he'd be at the forefront of the conversation with a healthy Gronk, Graham (more like a big ass receiver who gets shut down by DBs), and Vernon Davis.

 

Definitely a vital piece of our offense and I'm glad Chicago did give him to us.

SWEET, love me some Greg Olsen on madden, #1 target.

 

Is it worth upgrading to a ps4 yet?

 

Anyone playing madden with a ps4 please advise.

 

Wondering the same.  I think I'll upgrade before this Madden comes out.  I figure not many will be playing online on the PS3 this year.  I didn't upgrade last year because the game came out before the system so I figured many wouldn't upgrade.

Does Greg break tackles in Madden?

I still love you Greg.

Greg played most of last year on a bum wheel/foot.

Hiw many tackles can you break when yiur healthy? Oh, that's right, you're a bit of a wussu that likes to call out pros cause you feel they ain't performing well enough for money that isn't even yours.

STFU.
