re: Michael Thomas clears up play that led to Carr/Olave confrontation

I think olave thought "mission accomplished" in that he could tell the safety was cleared enough for Taysom to be fairly open. Maybe Olave was also loafing it a bit in anticipation of blocking downfield for Taysom.

I sense that his frustration and bad body language after the play was based on the fact that he immediately know that unplanned throw by Carr was going to mean that casual fans were going to blame him for not running hard on a route that wasn't even an option, which is exactly what happened. The "I hate Chris Olave" thread after the game was upvoted like 70 to 0 (I upvoted it myself).

Then to have Carr berating you in a primetime game for something that the entire offense knows is clearly Carrs fault (and after he threw a pick 6) is just a bridge too far for a swaggy young brother like CO12.
