The era of Ian Thomas


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

The routes we have him running are not Olsen routes. If you notice he does a lot of across the face of the LB/S's. We have him running routes across the field utilizing his athleticism. 

I am curious to see if IT is able to identify and settle in zones, and how he operates up the seam with awareness of the gap between safety and LB.

 

Also, Greg has the ability to play in slot and out wide. So much to see if the rook can do it.

I hope he plays really well, but even if he plays really well for a rookie TE, that's going to still be a significant downgrade from Olsen.

Agreed.

Much as I hate to say it though, the reality is that Greg Olsen probably wasn't going to be "Greg Olsen" this year either.

The true professional that Olsen is will help I. Thomas out greatly.   If GO is out for very long expect him to be in Thomas's ear after every series teaching him and explaining more and more to him.  

OJT on the fly.   He will be good and a have good weapon.

I honestly don't believe that he believed he would be in the #1 TE role in week one.

We all got so excited when he caught that crossing route.

My friend and I started yelling, this being the first time in god knows how long a rookie tight end was doing anything.

There was so much green ahead of him.

Then he went to turn it up field and everyone, defenders, large bugs, a glacier, caught up with him. 

 

tbf when is the last time Olsen outran anyone or made anyone miss with the ball

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
