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.

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
