Olsen's blocking ability.

Great day receiving for Olsen and I love the guy. But he was getting abused, manhandled raped, beaten, etc. by Von Miller today. We need to get another Gronkowski. Our offense is suffering with the loss of Shockey. This draft we have a lot of avenues to consider going down with that first pick.

Olsen has actually improved his blocking quite a bit this season. He's had quite a few plays that he springs big runs by taking the backer or safety completely out of the play.

That being said today was rough for him. But without us knowing the blocking scheme I think it would be rather difficult for any of us to sit here and blast him.

There is no way he should ever be put one on one with one of the premiere pass rushers and overall defensive players in this league like Miller. I wonder if he weren't meant to help or chip and it was Bell's responsibility (he was benched late after all.) One thing is for certain is that the Broncos knew we were weak up the middle and they abused the trio of Hangman, Byers and Amini all game. Just a rough week :/

      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.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
