Greg Olsen

Can we stop running him with just a seam route down the field every time he goes out for a pass? The TE is supposed to be the outlet guy when the pressure is coming in hot. It seems like we try taking advantage when the opposing team is bringing the heat by trying to run long developing routes to eat up big yards. It makes no sense, all game I feel we miss used Olsen, and its the same feeling I've had for three weeks in a row now. He's an elite TE who should be getting 8-10 receptions a game, and forcing these teams not to blitz. Take what the defense gives you and stop trying to make the 25 yard play, especially when you have Kalil and Oher out. Olsen should be eating these defenses alive underneath, but the play calling is just not there.

Can someone tell me if I am wrong on this? Were not his first two passes short of the first down? Was not his drop a simple 10 yard sit down? Not every pattern by Greg is down the seam. I guess those are the ones folks remember. Not all the other ones.

 

 

You are right, not every play is a seam. I just wish we would run more crossers, as much as we get blitzed that would kill defenses.

Slants and crossing routes. We did a bunch of slants today. But I don't remember a whole lot of crossing routes. Defenders get picked, and cover the wrong guy when you cross patterns.

 

Heck, throw in those screen passes we don't seem to like as a way to slow down a rush. And no, not those goofy azz bubble screens either. Although, a good bubble screen on first down can get you 4-5 yards. Keeping you ahead of the chains.

 

Ah hellz, this is nothing we all don't harp about already. But it was nice to see all those slants today.
