Here's a thought worth thinking about.

My question is: Why the fu*k did we keep using Olsen to help block in the redzone when he's 6'5 and a endzone threat!!!!!!!!

 

that's one of the huge disadvantages of having a bad offensive line (or if you're a defense, the advantage in having an amazing pass rush.) you're forced to keep in guys to block. and when those guys are greg olsen you end up cutting one of your best players out of the play.

 

no surprise though, we all knew this line was turrible

my fear is that they already got into his head.

 

this is my biggest fear and what CRA and I had been preaching in the offseason. You have to let Cam be Cam.

Then whats the reason to keep guys like Hartsock and Brockel on the roster? Those guys are supposed to be blocking in the endzone, not Olsen. But we chose to have Olsen block and have a guy like AE (if I'm not mistaken) out there in the endzone.
