This is why I cringe at the thought of actually paying money each month to have access to the All-Pro section. I would then presumably be exposed to a much larger quantity of his type of flawed and often nonsensical analysis, which he presents as fact in a pretentious way.

I think it was something like "when was the last time Mannhertz had a block Luke this?" And the gallery all chimed.

I was scratching my head because I had just watched the run highlights like above where 82 was blocking his ass off.

I told y’all 2 TE set is the real deal just wait until Norv utilizes them in the receiving game.

 

They’ll never learn man!

Snap counts say we are using them  less than typical..Those blocks highlighted one 2 TE set.

You were the first person I thought of when I saw this thread.

The Panthers always seem to carry one tight end who's basically just a small offense of lineman. I guess this year that's Manhertz.

I would add that while I know people are probably tired of hearing about how much of a difference Turner makes, scheme and design matter in these things too.

We run the same offense scheme. Its play calling that differs.

That's kinda like saying Morgan Freeman and Adam Sandler are both basically just acting. The only difference is how they say their lines.

Even if they're working within the same parameters (Coryell, West Coast, whatever) the man calling the plays is the scheme. He sees what's happening on the field, sets the strategies, makes the adjustments,  etc.

Some people only see chess pieces on a board. Others see the strategies in their head.

You ever see Reign over me? Sandler killed it.

I could use Pauly Shore but does anybody even remember him anymore?

We’ve been missing this for a while.  Greg has come a long way blocking wise but doesn’t have  pop and is easily shed by linebackers without that physicality.  Hopefully we can utilize them properly when Greg returns

[Mr. Scot]

Olsen has always struck me as more of a "get in your way" blocker than a "dominate you" blocker. That's probably true of a decent number of tight ends and receivers.

No real problem with that, though. That works too.

You gotta know they're aware of Olsen's pluses and minuses by now. 

Of course, they KNOW.

The question is will they adjust personnel accordingly based on that knowledge.  I've seen way too many running plays blown up because of the wrong personnel. Greg should never be asked to block linemen and bigger LBs. Though I see it all the time.
