Keep it to 1 player. Just for the past 3 games & potential for the rest of the season. It doesn't have to be the 'best' player at a position, but just a player who you've been most impressed with so far this season. Give a reason for interest.

For me, it's Greg Olsen, the complete TE. We've all commented on how well Olsen played, his big catches & impact on the game. Very possibly the game MVP today.

What really struck me today was his blocking. He is not known for his blocking, but he clearly sprang Stewart on 1 of his runs. He was in motion coming to the right side of the formation & sealed in the LBs & DL (not by himself, but impressive). No need to rehash his catches b/c those are obvious, but Olsen is not only playing well in the receiving game, he is also doing it in the running game. I bet they will use him more for this in the future.

      If I wanted to get slightly better…

      Kind of a secondary issue. They need to figure out how to get more out of the run game or nothing else is going to open up either. That means dealing with a stacked box.  Might as well just send XL deep to try and take a defender partially with him. It's probably the best use of XL at this point.  Doesn't matter because they probably see themselves at .500 as not too bad and after Atlanta it should look more like the Bills game. I would bet on more of the same for a few more weeks. 'Just got to figure out how to get ridiculous games out of Rico' is probably on a whiteboard as we discuss.

      XL is a bust

      I mean, I think Legette is probably a bust also, and that's after trying to defend and rationalize about him, but I'm not gonna use that play. He did stock his hand out there, but the ball was just too off target. That being said, I've never seen a guy who is supposed to have the potential of a star just disappear in games like he has. There are UDFAs that do more than he has with the number of snaps he's gotten. His only saving grace is that he plays in a largely inept passing offense, so there still may be a sliver of hope that the offense is so disjointed  that maybe it's to difficult for him too succeed. That's probably wishful thinking though. We need a higher pick at receiver for the third draft in a row. Honestly, with needing a QB, a WR, a defensive back or two, a linebacker, and whatever else, who knows when we'll actually be viably competitive. And to think, people were trying to get after me a few weeks ago when I basically said that we drafted the wrong guy(s). Hopefully Dan has learned some huge lessons about drafting the past couple of years. As the merry-go-round spins...
