Olsen injury a blessing in disguise?

Yes I know losing Olsen blows as he is one of the best TE's in the league, and him and Cam have a great on-field relationship. Plus you hate to see anyone go down with an injury, especially one of your team leaders. But do you guys remember back in 2015 when Cam was having his best season because he was spreading the ball around and not locking on to 1-2 receivers? Some credit that to the fact that KB was out. I'm starting to think the same might happen with Olsen out.

I don't see how. Olsen is easily our most reliable receiver. KB is the guy Cam tends to lock onto and I fear that missing Olsen may only worsen that tendency. 

Cam has locked onto both when he's had both.

People vastly overstate this whole notion of Cam forcing it to KB or not spreading the ball around.

Newton leaned heavily on Olsen in 2015 with KB out. Game winning touchdown in Seattle?

This is a big loss. But I hope KB and Funchess step up big. Also, it's time Dickson earned those millions. We're gonna find out quickly.

Interesting, I thought about making a threat with the exact same title. Teams might not know who to roll their coverage to and most likely will not respect Dixon even though he his an underrated player. Curtis Samuel should benefit from this as well. Opponents know about Olsen and likely plan for him but not so much with the others.

Cam balled the fug out in 2015 to overcome the loss of KB. He'll have to do that again to overcome Olsen. Thankfully Olsen isn't for the whole year though. I just wish cam was at full strength. 

He also had a relatively healthy offensive line and oher to protect his blind side.. Oher did better than probably any tackle we'll put there this season. Hope I'm wrong

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
