I love how way in depth Olsen is able to go on so many aspects of the game.

Hearing him announce is like having a real time analyst that is able to offer insight and basically secrets that many people don’t know.

I have watched the NFL for 25 years but I always learn something new just about any time he speaks.

Like his style and his delivery. Smart guy who fits right in and his well spoken. 

Happy for him to find his niche after his playing days are over.

It took him a half a season to warm up between his guest appearances, and getting into this one. But damn he’s really found his niche.

Gronk wasn’t even the best tight end on his team. 
 

only reason he didn’t end up traded to Oakland or whatever is Aaron hernanzdez decided to rent his murder van from Hertz. 

You're pretty far off on this one. Gronk and Hernandez played together for the first three years of both their careers. Hernandez only received for more yards in their rookie year. Gronk made the all-rookie team that year with 4 more TDs than Hernandez. Gronk was 1st team All-Pro in his second year

I'm not saying Hernandez wasn't good. He was very good, but it's difficult to argue Gronk isn't one of the best tight ends of all-time.

Patriots extended Hernandez first for a reason.

Both Olsen and Romo are good analysts. 

The thing I like better about Olsen is you have to keep reminding yourself that it is Olsen.....he sounds like a guy that has been doing the commentary for decades.  Merlin Olsen had a similar delivery. 

Man… with a little training. Olsen as play by play and romo as analyst, I don’t care who’s playing i’d watch that game every week.

Hernandez was versatile and Bill loves his versatile players, but Gronk handily outproduced him by tens of hundreds of yards/16 Tds their final 2 years together (they were about the same their rookie year) even with them playing about the same number of games. Hernandez was the cheaper of the 2 but still pretty good so yeah, lock him up (no pun intended) in case something happened with Gronk.

That would be good.  Olsen's delivery is such he could probably handle the play-by-play.

Even if the game was awful, having it on as background just to hear that would be worth it.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
