Re: Time to trade Olave?
I think the slot would make olave more susceptible to concussions. If anything he is safer as a one on one deep threat on the outside where he is running step for step in the same direction as the defender and seeking separation, then often going out of bounds before contact, versus working over the middle in traffic. Even if i cant prove its worse, good luck proving slot is better. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-in-todays-nfl
Lamb and Smith are both a lot bigger than Olave. Many modern slots are built big to withstand hits while olave is tiny. Also, Smith had a concussion in Moore’s offense last year. If anything, losing Carr will be what helps Olave stay healthy. But even Hurts couldnt protect a bigger smith in Moore’s offense. |
