Greg Olsen caught two quick out-breaking routes each for ten yards against the Arizona Cardinals.
Not identical but close, these are snappy little timing routes, good for second and long situations, and with Olsen out this particular tool in Seattle’s offense may be gone too. Will Dissly is a surprisingly good athlete, big, gliding and powerful, but I don’t think of him as sudden. I wouldn’t want to see Jacob Hollister working in-line too very often. Probably, despite Olsen’s minimal contributions this year, the Seahawks will have to adjust to his loss schematically.
That might be a good thing, because with respect to Olsen who’s had a great career and is a consummate pro, when the tide of the Seahawks passing game lifted, Olsen found more damage in his hull than even Flex Tape could fix.
