“FOX Sports announces that #Panthers TE Greg Olsen will be in the broadcast booth for #Cardinals-#Giants in Week 7, during his team's bye week.”

I really look forward to listening to Greg after he retires. He’s well spoken and obviously knows a ton about the current state of the NFL.

Did this before once I believe

Yep, he called a Vikings game during our bye week when he was injured. The Vikings threw a hissy fit and tried to get Fox to pull him because we were playing them later in the year. Why that mattered, who knows? But, Fox told them to pound sand and he called the game anyway.

Guess it would have to do with all the behind the scenes prep work that is done before the broadcast.  The production crew usually interviews players and coaches around their plans for the week and they even watch a few practices.  It gives the announcers and the camera crews something to look for during the game.  Doubtful it's much that you couldn't figure out with game film though.

Lol dude has been retired since he was reinjured and yet collects a check from the Panthers and Hurney who are probably the best team at paying fan favorites and even others for nothing

I loved Olsen but damn how much has he made for 4 years without playing, and after crying for an raise/extension with TD? we could’ve really used that

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      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
