Part of the Solution - Greg Olsen


Not going far out on a limb here, but Greg Olsen is an offensive weapon on a team that has about 1.5 of them.  He can run, he can catch, he can put his body in front of people, he can rap, he can speak in cliches.  Everyone gets upset about his knee injury that occurred late in a pre-season game, but being a rookie shouldn't he have gotten a lot of activity in those games?  He does play football, right?  Sometimes people get hurt playing football.  

Greg seemed to sometimes get forgotten about for large stretches of games, but that has nothing to do with the fact he is good.  After catching the ball, he likes to get it out away from his body sometimes, but I am sure he will clean that up going forward.  This was a first-round (albeit 31st) offensive selection by Jerry Angelo that no one can really argue with.  Best player in the draft at his position and I think it will play out that way over the next few years.
