What happened to Ian Thomas

[Jeremy Igo]

Looked great the first few weeks.

 

Now is invisible.

[countryboi]

they can barely find ways to use Olsen and Samuel

[Shaqil915]

Hey man we can’t have too many good recievers out there at the same time. 

There is only one football after all.

[TN05]

He looked great? Not really. I want to like him a lot but his play left a lot to be desired, especially with miscommunications with Cam and poor route running. He needs some more time to be ready to contribute imo

We have good depth at WR and surprisingly enough, Chris Manhertz has turned into a terrific blocking TE

[archer4364]

Eh, he never really looked that good. Unless Greg dies again he should spend the rest of the year on the pine learning how to run routes. 

[MasterAwesome]

Look great the first few weeks?? Of what...training camp?

[KillerKat]

In Rivera's dog house. Funny how he has no problem putting young players or rookies there, but will forever keep vets who under perform on the field until they get injured. 

[Jeremy Igo]

He ran one bad route and y'all ready to give up on him?

[Navy_football]

He ran 2 bad routes against NYG and has barely been on the field since then. Could coincide with Greg coming back but I'm of the opinion that he's in Ron's doghouse.

Young players make mistakes, and need playing time to work them out. I love Greg but Ian is a much much much better blocker. If a player is making mental mistakes in games, it can be a mixture of player commitment and coaching inefficiency. So, I'm not gonna write him off because he made a couple of bad plays in a game - see DJ Moore. He has playmaking potential and at the very least improves the consistency of the running game.

its a sad situation my man...godda start preparing for life without Olsen...

Who would you put on the sidelines for him?  

He's invisible because there really isn't any room for him.  You're not taking any of the receivers off the field for an average - at best - #2 tight end, at least not for anything beyond tight/run packages.  And obviously you aren't taking Olsen off the field.

I don't see the problem.

[Pimpdaddy]

thought Norv liked 2 TE sets?

[juliosantos]

We need to run some double tight end sets
