I have a theory that Olsen wants to see how the defense responds. Are they sitting in coverage, do they plan man-to-man, what is the zone scheme, etc. I suspect they do so to validate the game plan and make adjustments. Problem is, the defense has well scouted our offense and has a better game plan - usually. We also seem to lack the level of OL talent needed to execute said game plan against a better defense and we rarely make adjustments. Ergo it all looks out of place, especially when the RB sees no holes. I have to watch other games to remind myself what a running lane looks like in the NFL.
