Ask Bryan: Resetting the roster

With the obvious problems with the defensive line and in the secondary, why are we picking up tight ends? Considering Greg Olsen has more yards and receptions than most of the top receivers in the league, I would say that is a position we are very strong in. – Carter in Winston-Salem, N.C.

You certainly are correct about the season being enjoyed by Olsen, who actually ranks second in the NFL in receiving yards regardless of position. Tight end Ed Dickson scored a touchdown last week as well. The decision to add tight ends Scott Simonson and Chris Manhertz to the roster isn't an indictment of Olsen or Dickson.
