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.

      OTA's

      By strato · Posted

      People were discussing the new backup QB in comparison the the starter.  Neither has anything close to a cannon.  Video was posted of them throwing.  If people can’t be free to express their opinions without being put on a list of posters who have ruined this place we have a bad situation here. People trying to silence  criticism of the QB.    Maybe actually post about the other players instead of about the other posters. That is where it went off the rails.

      That's true and we're definitely going to hear more about it as summer progresses. But at the end of the day all of the progress we've made on the roster as a whole will only matter if our passing offense can emerge from the basement of the NFL. In 2023 it was 32 out of 32 in 2024 it was 30th out of 32 and last year it was 26th out of 32. And early in the season we relied heavily on a career year from Rico Dowdle who is no longer on the roster. This is only reinforced by the fact that we (depending on how one views it) effectively took playcalling out of Dave Canales hands and brought in another offensive mind. The elephant in the room isn't going anywhere no matter how much we may not like it.
