Hat tip (and well wishes) to Greg Olsen


Carl Spackler

Recommended Posts

Mr. Reliable played his ass off today.

He broke two tackles and carried a defender for a first down we absolutely wouldn’t have otherwise gotten. On a third and 17 he catches a 10-yard pass and does everything he can, including taking a hit to the head from a piece of poo Redskins player, in his all-out effort to get a first.

1) I hope Greg is OK. 
2) I hope he doesn’t go out like this. 
3) In the event that’s it, damn man. Thank you for everything.

I would add this in the same vein...

I know we complain about Marty stuffing the IR, but if he were to put Olsen on injured reserve tomorrow I'd have no issue with it.

Just b/c Hurney actually puts a guy that should go on IR on IR, even I won't call that stuffing the IR.  He's still gonna stuff it, but an injured player is an injured player.  I can call it straight when necessary.

I didn't see the game but saw "highlights" of it including this hit. Ryan Anderson definitely deserves to get suspended for a game or two for that intentional hit. Made me sick to see Olsen instantly fall the way he did. Greg's leadership over the years, even during losing seasons, has been tremendous and I'd really hate to see him go out this way.

I hate to see him go out like this too, but I think the "Hollywood ending" ship has sailed.

Sad to say that's true for any veteran who's not coming back next year, and I feel like there's a few of them.

Also I wish TD wound up with a better team in the AFC... Baltimore or Houston, KC, etc. (not the Pats). Too bad he won’t even get a shot at the playoffs this year, he deserves a ring as much as any active player who doesn’t have one, right up there with Fitzgerald.

    • I was never onboard with Morgan to begin with.  The dude always seemed a hammer short of a full tool bag, maybe too many concussions.  He was a Fitterer hold over and I thought he should have been gone when Fitts went.  He literally made it to NFL GM with no credentials to speak of other than a playing career.  Shorts stints of personnel management for the Seahawks and Bills, neither organization choosing promotion or retention.  I believe Morgan was added as a friendly face to sooth the a fanbase that was growing to hate Tepper and probably retained for the same reason.  Morgan never coached, had minimal front office experience and the GM he "assisted" was deservedly fired.  From what I can find online he received a BA in Liberal Arts from Miami so that isn't exactly a qualification either.  
    • If you really want to change the identity of the culture, then your opinion may indeed be the way to go. 1) I see nothing from our drafts since 2020 to indicate that either the scouts or the GM's are shrew evaluators of college talent. 2) A new GM should be able to hire a coach since his livelihood is directly affected by how well the coach can get the team to perform on Sundays. The only time I'm ok with a GM keeping the coach that proceeded his hiring is if the new GM wants to work with the coach. Ideally, He should have final say over the coach instead of the owner. And, that coach and GM need to be in sync on how the team should be run on both sides of the ball. 3) A new coach should be able to pick his own staff. If he wants to keep a coach already on the staff that's fine. A new HC hire shouldn't be told that you have to use this guy for one of the jobs, especially a position as important OC or DC.
    • The crazy thing is some of these plays that went down to like 2 on the play clock were basic inside zone runs. That poo shouldn't take 30+ seconds to decide when you are down 24... It's not like they had to hot route multiple receivers and change blocking assignments after lining up. It's almost like Canales has somebody else's playbook and needs to flip through 10 pages to try and figure out what play he is going to run
