Greg Olsen...

The guy is probably the 2nd best TE in the NFL right now.

One thing I was talking about after the game with a few Carolina fans was why does he seem to fall down after every catch. You will see other TE's run over fokes, but he just plays like a pansy at times. Do not get me wrong he is great TE and I love him, but what is the deal with him and falling to the ground after every catch.

"... plays like a pansy at times"? You being serious? The fact that his game isn't to truck and rumble over people hardly means he plays like a pansy.

I probably went too far with the word pansy, but when he makes a catch and just falls down instead of getting the extra yards he can get it makes me mad. It may cost us a game at some point.

You understand that it is hard to run after catch when the ball is coming in at 100mph and not in your stride right?

Greg ain't a YAC guy. He is what he is and I wouldn't even trade him for gronk at this point. Gronk gets injured too often and Olsen is always strong and steady and plays almost every snap. 

How can you say that? Gronk is going to beat every te record out there, he's a beast.

Because at one point in the season Olsen was the only player in the NFL to play every offensive snap for his team. Here is the secret. He blocks too. That doesnt go on records.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
