Greg Olsen has not been impressive this year.

It may be a combination of his play, the plays called for him, and Cam but I there is something missing from that position. He's the best TE we have had since Walls and his play is similiar....it's just the NFL is different now than it was back in the 90's.

Your expecting to much. The guy is not a Vernon Davis, Jimmy Graham type player who can make up for a #2. We have Smith and that's it. He should be the #3 guy but he is having to be the #2 guy for Cam due to lack of the WR dept.

It has something to do with him falling like he got sniped with a 50 cal whenever anyone touches him in the slightest....

 

He has little to no athletic ability and is slow to boot.

 

He's not a bad TE for what he is supposed to be but not a world beater...just a solid TE.

He's not been bad but he should never catch screen passes since I don't remember him ever breaking a tackle and that's kind of important on those types of plays. Also he makes for a poor outlet/dump off guy as well unless he catches the ball beyond the first down marker. Guy has the lower body strength of a 12 year old. He is deadly running those out routes to the sideline however.

Little to no athletic ability. Not sure if serious.

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It wasn't a his sack production, it was about his skill set, build, and scheme fit. He's a six foot tall 280 pound DT. He's best used as an interior pass rushing specialist. He can't play the nose in a 3-4 and he doesn't have the length or burst to play he end either. He just wasn't a scheme fit. He'd be a good roster piece as a rotational pass rushing specialist DT to bring in on passing downs in an even defensive front. But you can't hand out a 3 year/$45M contract for that either. Tha type of contract means you have to try to find starter snap numbers for him and that's a problem in a 3-4 front. Hell, it's a problem in a 4-3 front too. That's why the Chiefs were willing to let him walk.

      Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.

      Who else at DT was available coming off a 6.5 sack season, that was relatively affordable?  We took the Milton Williams money and added Turk AND Bobby Brown III. You can't predict soft tissue, and surgery in this case. Part of the business.
