Newsbreakers
February 9, 2010
New Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz suggested that Greg Olsen will be asked to block much more than he has in the past, according to Pro Football Talk. "All tight ends, their first responsibility, they have to put their hand down on the line of scrimmage and be a successful blocker, and then they move to receiving," Martz said. "To just skip by that and say, 'He's a terrific receiver,' well, then you might as well just put another wide receiver in there."

Our View:Martz's offenses have never been friendly to tight ends, and in fact no tight end has ever caught 40 balls in any of his offenses. Olsen led the Bears with 60 receptions and eight touchdowns last year, but it looks like there's no way he'll approach those numbers under the Martz regime. You have to wonder if the Bears will consider trading him, because there are plenty of teams that would be ecstatic at the potential to land a pass-catching tight end of Olsen's talent.

Greg Olsen had five catches for 94 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Lions.

Our View:This was one of Olsen's best performances in a season filled with too many dud games. Still, he did manage eight touchdowns and over 600 yards. He should manage an even better line next season with more consistent play from Cutler.
