Greg Olsen may be key for success against Giants

I think that Olsen could be in for a breakout game against the Giants. The Giants will bring pressure on Cam so it will be important for him to get rid of the ball quickly. This could give Olsen some opportunities to get open over the middle and on quick outs to the sideline.

I know that we haven't used him a lot so far in the regular season but in preseason he saw several passes from Cam and they were successful. It makes sense that if we wanted to throw a new wrinkle at the Giants that calling plays for Olsen would be one way to throw off the Giants game plan.

Anyone else think this might be the game Olsen has been waiting for?

Their D-Line is probably vulnerable to our run game if they continue to play like they have been. They've been getting impatient and selling out for sacks / QB hits rather than playing disciplined football. If this continues in our game our run attack should be able to exploit that pretty heavily.

I think Olsen could be a big factor but I'm not sure that he could be the key.

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
