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.

The problem is Olave has loafed on many routes this year.

Weirdest part is 7 was open - get him the ball Derek.

I think MT13 is trying to hold Carr responsible for this. Which I agree with him on. Holding people responsible means also holding the QB not making the right read responsible as well. Carr is deflecting blame more than holding people responsible. When you have your issues as Carr does hard to point your fingers to others and be like its their fault.

If you read the article of when Carr had his issues with the Raiders is that he had a tough time being called out for his own issues by Mcdaniels. Instead would point fingers elsewhere; unfortunately its the same behavior here. Instead of acknowledging your own issues, he continues to shift blame elsewhere. Its a toxic environment when your so called leader is not taking blame for his own issues and then throwing other players under the bus. Not sure if Winston is better, but I could promise you lot of these players rather play for him than Carr at this point.

So olave's job is to clear out the safety for the first player in the progression, but he loafed and didn't do that? I don't see how this fact pattern clears him

I mean the guy covering Olave doesn't know the progression.

You don't ever slack off on a football field.

Coaches could learn something, or the play can breakdown in any number of ways so you need to be aware and hustling.

If you are an eligible receiver on a play you need to be prepared to make a catch if needed.

The success of a play in football relies on all 11 people doing their job all the time.

Carr fricking up doesn't take someone else off the hook for not doing their job.

Total crap effort from Olave.

You guys have something in common then.

In short, Derek "Best QB in the NFC South" Carr is a loser and a fricking moron, which some of us tried to tell the lil guys on this forum over and over and over.

Lil guy, I’m proud because I celebrate the accomplishments of my sons, no matter how big or small.

As your father, it is flattering and humbling to see one of my sons begin to imitate his father as you did here.

I love you, son.

Maybe it’s Carr that doesn’t know the playbook
