Cutler/Martz and the Blitz.

One thing that I'm looking forward to now that Martz is the OC, is more slants and adjusted routes when we see the blitz coming.

Knox, Hester, and Aromashadou all have sub 4.4 speed. To see Cutler hitting these guys in stride, as opposed to all those damned bubble screens, is going to be a thing of beauty once they get the timing down.

If he is smart enough to realize that Olsen is probably the most gifted tight end he's had in the pros, Martz will utilize him in more seam routes instead of what he normally does with the tight end.

I'm looking forward to the same. But Martz did make an interesting statement about a TE that had very good speed but was not known as a good blocker. He basically said he'd rather have a true wide receiver going 4 wide than 3 wide & a TE pretending to be a WR. I have to agree. So while I really like Olsen, I'd be ecstatic if we could deal him for a low 2nd round pick or high 3rd and grab a big OG like Vlad Ducasse or sure up the free safety spot finally. That said Knox, Hester, and Aromashadou freed up will be a sight for sore eyes.
