kingwilly Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I would approve of getting Olsen for a pick. I would not give them Collins though. Maybe a guy like Simpson or Fui. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I have very little interest in any Greg Olsen trade proposal, but I admit my reluctance may be due to the lingering disdain I have for the "Blazing Speed" nickname Hoosier tagged him with years ago.

Teams that run a more wide-open (Martz) offense, that puts wrs all over the field (martz) and has a qb who slings the ball all over (cutler).make it happen.

ArmyBengal Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 For as many people that liked the thought of getting Scheffler from the Broncos, he would only cost a 2nd round pick per the tender Denver placed on him. I think Scheffler would certainly be a far better option than any TE we could draft in the 2nd round. Not saying it should be a must, only another option...

ArmyBengal Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'd rather use our trade ammunition on Brandon MarshallWell, that would be our first rounder and wouldn't require any additional picks, so we would still be good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Can't see any scenario that would have us giving up o-line depth for Olsen.Just not even smart by most looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I have very little interest in any Greg Olsen trade proposal, but I admit my reluctance may be due to the lingering disdain I have for the "Blazing Speed" nickname Hoosier tagged him with years ago. Did I? I really don't recall, but I believe you.I'd take Olsen. I've watched him play up here with the Bears and the bottom line is that he's hardly the problem with Chicago's offense. If anything, he ought to be praised for what little he's managed to accomplish in an offense with no line, RB or QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I also didn't say I would mind Olsen, because I expected him to have a breakout year last year.I just don't want to give up o-line depth to do so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingwilly Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 it would be silly to gamble away any of the offensive lineman. I rashly suggested packaging collins for Marshall a month or two ago. Given the way FA will work, that would be stupid at this point to send any of our lineman away for anything less than an all-pro type player, of which Greg Olsen is not.I think signing a player like Scheffler or Scaife would be smart. Scaife, to me, is a real quality player with tons of upside. Imagine him catching all those passes that "the te who shall not be named" dropped.

HAPPYJAQ Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I like Olsen for what he does in the passing game, but the knock on him is he is a well below-average run blocker, which is something that Marvin and Hayes absolutely have no tolerance for from TEs.I'd do it for a 4th or later, though. It's obvious that Mike Martz is not going to use him in his offense. I expect a passing team will make a nice offer for him sometime around the draft.

GoBengals! Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Come on. It's Mikey Money Bags you are talking about. When is the last time this team made a splash with trade? Don't get me wrong, I would love to have Olsen in stipes, but Mikey doesn't operate that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
