All season long I talked about how Greg Olsen, tight end for the Chicago bears, pushes off. He pushed off on the crucial ”TD” he “scored” in the first Packer-bear game, and on other occasions. bear fans, as usual, told me I was being biased. Once again, here is objective proof. In a rating of players in the NFC North, Olsen was rated the best number 2 tight end. Here is what the article said, and is exactly what I have said all year:
Olsen is regarded as a terrible blocker but was a major threat downfield. “He’s got the art of pushing off down to a T,” one scout said. “He nudges guys right at the end.”
