like a bitch

with us bringing in Gaines, as a blocking tight end, and we havent used him yet, while our running game continues to suffer, what’s up with that?

Unlike the WRs, that have been talked about at nauseum, Olsen has not progressed one bit from last year. He has exactly the same amount of catches and yards through the first 4 weeks of this compared to last years first 4 weeks.

at least not in my opinion. Same sort of idea as a couple of weeks ago when Forte’s numbers weren’t all that great.

If we are winning football games, especially if we are doing it with a productive offense, it shouldn’t matter who is meeting fantasy numbers.

Since the offense has started clicking in the last 3 games, Cutler is completing 71% of his passes. We are playing good pitch and catch, and getting into the endzone. And winning games because of it.

2 TDs in 4 games should not be a concern. He might not be putting up Witten-like numbers, but he’s still doing a good job.

Someone else has already mentioned it, he drops a lot of passes. If you watch him closely, he usually bobbles the balls he does catch and I have to think that Cutler sees that as well. Olsen is one of those guys who has to be wide open to catch a ball. He’s not good in traffic and he doesn’t do a good job of RAC unless no one is near him. He goes down with the first hit, even against much smaller DB’s. I hope I’m wrong, but I really don’t ever see him being a Pro Bowl TE.

In my opinion, he is a “tweener” because he’s not physical enough for TE and not fast enough to be a true WR.

but he has seriously underwhelmed me with his performance thus far. Be honest, a TE that can’t block and isn’t catching many passes isn’t very useful. Let’s all remember he was the premier TE in that year’s draft. What’s wrong with expecting better play from our high draft picks. He’s not a rookie any more and i am not impressed with his resume since then. BF611 hit the nail on the head, he’s a nice kid who just hasn’t done it in the NFL. I won’t say he’s a first round bust, but he’s not performing like a first rounder.

It’s also concerning that he can’t take advantage of defensive backs that are covering him. Defensive cordinators are going to gameplan from this point on to take him out the game. If Olsen wants to be a Elite Tight End he has to fight through it and make big plays.
