Greg Olsen

Can we stop running him with just a seam route down the field every time he goes out for a pass? The TE is supposed to be the outlet guy when the pressure is coming in hot. It seems like we try taking advantage when the opposing team is bringing the heat by trying to run long developing routes to eat up big yards. It makes no sense, all game I feel we miss used Olsen, and its the same feeling I've had for three weeks in a row now. He's an elite TE who should be getting 8-10 receptions a game, and forcing these teams not to blitz. Take what the defense gives you and stop trying to make the 25 yard play, especially when you have Kalil and Oher out. Olsen should be eating these defenses alive underneath, but the play calling is just not there.

Can someone tell me if I am wrong on this? Were not his first two passes short of the first down? Was not his drop a simple 10 yard sit down? Not every pattern by Greg is down the seam. I guess those are the ones folks remember. Not all the other ones.

 

 

You are right, not every play is a seam. I just wish we would run more crossers, as much as we get blitzed that would kill defenses.

Slants and crossing routes. We did a bunch of slants today. But I don't remember a whole lot of crossing routes. Defenders get picked, and cover the wrong guy when you cross patterns.

 

Heck, throw in those screen passes we don't seem to like as a way to slow down a rush. And no, not those goofy azz bubble screens either. Although, a good bubble screen on first down can get you 4-5 yards. Keeping you ahead of the chains.

 

Ah hellz, this is nothing we all don't harp about already. But it was nice to see all those slants today.

    • I’m an optimist thru and thru. I love any win this team can muster, and Bryce did what he could to keep the team in it, but he’s why the team was out of it to begin with.  I like the guy, but he is not… he’s just not it… and I was swayed by the way he finished last season, but his physical limitations will never be overcome. A one arm tackle stopped him in his tracks en route for 6, among several other plays where an even average starter in the league succeeds.  A franchise QB is supposed to be his own cheat code. Bryce needs a cheat code dude, that is not him, to win. Chuba CARRIED (literally) his ass last season. Thielen bailed him out EVERY game he played in last season. Today: Rico turned in one of the best games in franchise history, Tet was unguardable and put up at least 100 yards on his own (PI yards included),  and the defense basically pitched a shutout after going down big so they could beat one of the worst teams in the NFL.   
    • Jimmy came thru today I hope he is active next week   (2) NFL on X: "Bryce Young to Jimmy Horn Jr. on 4th down! MIAvsCAR on FOX/FOX One https://t.co/HkKw7uXVnt https://t.co/FYOfsxtAMk" / X
    • Rico 10000% saved Bryce Young from being benched for the Dallas game.  The way that game was going there was going to be no way to trot Bryce out next week at home if it kept going like it did.  Bryce probably is safe from bench risk until the next home and home presents itself.    He can’t be playing bad going into that next Atl game and then lay an egg in it.
