[CBFF] Incites | A McNabb trade (in theory)

[Phil DeNomme]

And word is that he's working hard on improving his blocking.

I think we'll see a lot of a formation like that.  But more with Moose
instead of Hester.  I think there will be a lot of 2 WR, 2 TE sets this
year.

I see a nightmare formation for defense's as alluded to earlier with the
two te look.

Hester and Berrian split wide, with Clark and Olsen at te, and Benson
the lone back.


Point being Olsen is to fast for a lb, to big and fast for db, and
anytime he is on the field he will create mismatches. As far as blocking
goes, I do believe when he is in the game, he will force the defense to
adjust to him with a speed guy, enabling Olsen to block easily. 

Our GM and coach added two weapons on offense with the 30th pick in the
draft(Olsen and Hester). I do believe they will game plan for them.

OK, maybe you just remember him in fantasy leagues but Marques Colston
was projected to be converted to TE but he was a WR for the Saints. Not
like Dallas Clark either, but an actual factual receiver split wide.

 
Now, Antonio Gates made something out of his rookie year sure. I don't
doubt that it can happen, but this coaching staff seems to value
blocking to a high degree and everything I've read has said that Olson
isn't really a road grader. Maybe they make an exception or Olson looks
better than people are saying but it's the blocking that I think keeps
him off the field not his value as a receiver.

But year four was his first year of starting every game.  Hell, it was
the first year of starting MOST of the games.

Devin Hester couldn't earn the position in college. Cedric Benson
couldn't wrest the job away from that better talent the last two years.


Don't worry about selling me on Hester.  I think moving him to the
offense is stupid.

As far as Benson is concerned, if he can pull his head out of his ass,
he'll do things on the field that will make us ask, "Thomas who?"

Olson won't see my playing time?  I disagree.  If Marques Colston can
make something out of his rookie year at TE, then tell me why it isn't
reasonable to expect the same of Olson?

There's a reason I didn't mention Moose.

And Manning had a "down" year, in spite of winning it all, in 06.

He still uses the threat of his legs to get passing yards.  He'll be
more one-dimensional and a bit easier to scheme against for opposing
defenses.
