This isn't normal statistics though. I don't see how Olsen's pass catching impact could have been offset by his run blocking. I'm not doubting he wasn't good at blocking, I just doubt that his performance was equally as bad as his receiving was good. 

he probably didn't block much at all.  He was Cam's main target all game.

This is why PFF should be taken with a grain of salt... Olsen had a career day and is a .2

Olsen's 0.2 amuses me.

Who gives a poo how he blocked when he's going for 150 yards and two touchdowns 

I was thinking the same thing.

How was olsen downgraded so much due to pass blocking?

Olson must have missed an assignment or something, but he usually isnt used as a blocker.

I was wondering how much relevance should be put into these charts. I think maybe they are meant to help newbs who dont understand football because anyone watching the game knew that Olsen was the second best player on the field yesterday.

he probably didn't block much at all.  He was Cam's main target all game.  

He was in for 36 pass snaps and 29 run snaps, which means he's being asked to run block as half of his job.  If they run to his side on a third of those snaps and he's terrible, that means that 10 plays are potentially out the window.  Not an insignificant number.

That said he had a fatastic game as a receiver and it did not go unnoticed.  However, these ratings are on overall performance and we all mnow that Greg isn't a very good run blocker.

We got Richie Brockel for the run blocking.    Oh wait a minute. . .what exactly do we keep broccoli for?

I seriously doubt this coaching staffs evaluation talents when they keep Brockel over Swole Bones. They both play STs both TEs. Except Swole can actually play ST and can catch and block.  Brockels  a wasted spot must be married to or kin to a Rivera or Richardson

PFF stuff with a grain of salt

almost the whole Oline is in the positive yet we cant run the ball for poo. some of that has to fall on Stewart he seems to be slowing down in the whole. 

I think only a little bit is due to Stewart.   Like 1 in 3 runs for < 2 yard gain he might be missing a small hole he could have run through.  But for the most part it's just not there.  The line is just a big jumble of bodies with no real holes opening up.  Some RBs would bounce the ball outside every time they see that, and who knows...maybe that would be more successful for us right now.  But that's not Stewart's game and I don't think it's the game our coaching staff wants from their RBs.  That style requires good run blocking WRs (we don't have those), and gives you a much higher percentage of truly negative running plays.  Those are drive killers for this offense.

This!  But obviously, he's got a strong positive grade for his receptions, it's his run blocking that negates it.  Anyway, I'll take lots more games like this from Greg, no matter how PFF rates him!

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
