Quote:Great point..  if Hurns has difficulty due to the new OC, odds are we would need a new OC.  Hurns has shown he can do it, it is the OC's job to utilize his talent.  If the OC doesn't have the skill to design plays that get this or that guy in the open, get a new one.  

I wouldn't go that far.

 

Hurns was able to play on instinct...play without thinking and without hesitation...at least a lot less than the other guys because he already knew the offense.  He knew the terminology, etc.  He only had to adjust in the physical differences between college and pro level CBs, and the college level and pro level defenses/coverages.

 

If he struggles to learn the offense (where the other two rookies did last year), that isn't necessarily a poor reflection on Olson.

 

What if Olson gets more production out of Lee and Robinson?

 

What if there is more production from the QB, RB and TE position?

 

If Hurns is the only player that has a drop off, and every other position on offense is improved, then why should the OC have to go?

 

I have my concerns with Olson.  But I won't automatically say that if Hurns struggles to learn the offense, that and that alone is sufficient cause for Olson to be canned.
