This isn't normal statistics though. I don't see how Olsen's pass catching impact could have been offset by his run blocking. I'm not doubting he wasn't good at blocking, I just doubt that his performance was equally as bad as his receiving was good. 

he probably didn't block much at all.  He was Cam's main target all game.

This is why PFF should be taken with a grain of salt... Olsen had a career day and is a .2

Olsen's 0.2 amuses me.

Who gives a poo how he blocked when he's going for 150 yards and two touchdowns 

I was thinking the same thing.

How was olsen downgraded so much due to pass blocking?

Olson must have missed an assignment or something, but he usually isnt used as a blocker.

I was wondering how much relevance should be put into these charts. I think maybe they are meant to help newbs who dont understand football because anyone watching the game knew that Olsen was the second best player on the field yesterday.

he probably didn't block much at all.  He was Cam's main target all game.  

He was in for 36 pass snaps and 29 run snaps, which means he's being asked to run block as half of his job.  If they run to his side on a third of those snaps and he's terrible, that means that 10 plays are potentially out the window.  Not an insignificant number.

That said he had a fatastic game as a receiver and it did not go unnoticed.  However, these ratings are on overall performance and we all mnow that Greg isn't a very good run blocker.

We got Richie Brockel for the run blocking.    Oh wait a minute. . .what exactly do we keep broccoli for?

I seriously doubt this coaching staffs evaluation talents when they keep Brockel over Swole Bones. They both play STs both TEs. Except Swole can actually play ST and can catch and block.  Brockels  a wasted spot must be married to or kin to a Rivera or Richardson

PFF stuff with a grain of salt

almost the whole Oline is in the positive yet we cant run the ball for poo. some of that has to fall on Stewart he seems to be slowing down in the whole. 

I think only a little bit is due to Stewart.   Like 1 in 3 runs for < 2 yard gain he might be missing a small hole he could have run through.  But for the most part it's just not there.  The line is just a big jumble of bodies with no real holes opening up.  Some RBs would bounce the ball outside every time they see that, and who knows...maybe that would be more successful for us right now.  But that's not Stewart's game and I don't think it's the game our coaching staff wants from their RBs.  That style requires good run blocking WRs (we don't have those), and gives you a much higher percentage of truly negative running plays.  Those are drive killers for this offense.

This!  But obviously, he's got a strong positive grade for his receptions, it's his run blocking that negates it.  Anyway, I'll take lots more games like this from Greg, no matter how PFF rates him!

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
