Sorry guys, I threw this thread out there and got busy and have been unable to respond.

While i agree that the giants are susceptible to the run because of their pursuit, I also think that makes them vulnerable to quick passes over the middle to Olsen.

This is one wrinkle that Chud hasn't exploited yet and I could see him dialing up a few plays to counter the Giant's pressure.

I'm sure he will be blocking his ass off when play calling warrants it. That is one area where he's worked hard to improve. I just think it's time to reward that effort.

I'm not sure why people are so quick to doubt Olsen just because he only caught one pass last week (which gained us 13 yards and a first down). He did a pretty good job blocking for the running game on Sunday. I usually notice when he's blocking poorly, and on Sunday I hardly noticed him. He must have been doing something right. It's not easy racking up 70 yards anyways when your quarterback is finding other open targets for free.

Lafell pretty much played Olsen's role on Sunday, and it worked out well enough that there was no way we could have given the ball to everyone. Olsen has proven that he has hands of glue and he's solid at picking up first downs in clutch situations. If Cam needs him in the passing game, I don't doubt that Olsen will step up. We have plenty of offensive weapons. Don't be surprised if we rack up 30 points without using one of them.

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      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.
