Quote: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.

 

I am still scratching my head at the Olson hire as the new OC, because it reminds me of Mularkey as the Jaguars HC which was far worse of an idea of course.

At least the ast. HC might step in if Olson fails at OC, but I'm remaining positive that he'll be far more productive than the last few seasons have been at Offense.

I mean its hard not to with an improved Offensive Line, receiving threats like our TE, and having an actual productive run game.

I figure it will be a sort of Jumbo Heavy Run set of schemes, shove the ball down their throat and most of the passes will be play action roll outs.
