Dante Olson STATS & Big Sky POW

[kemajic]

Man I love the level this defense is playing at...

Dareon Nash had 2 picks, a fumble recovery, and scored a defensive TD and NOT be nominated for the defensive PoW b/c Olson had even bigger numbers shows what great early individual effort guys are putting into this team early on.

Agree, and I think Buss actually had a pretty big game too. Didn’t see his stats but he made some big plays and got a sack or two.

And a roughing the QB.

Hard not to mention Reid Miller in this discussion.

Dude is a stud

Linebacker U.

 

[grizare#1]

At this pace he better be on the Buck Buchanan watch list

 

[Dillon]

Great to see the Defensive Swagger back! Now lets get the Offense on board!

Agree he has been phenomenal. Really good tackler, very aggressive, and seems to be in the right spot

 

[Paytonlives]

The best part of his success is that it has allowed the coaches to ease Buss back into play.

Can't wait for both to be at 100%!!!

Did anyone else see how gassed Olson was in the 4th quarter. one play he was trying to run down the drake RB and just was gassed...he stopped and just raised his hands over his head and hunched over. That guy goes all out.

Olson's national stats:

Tied for 6th in sacks with 3.

Tied for 3d in tackles with 14.5 per game.

Tied for 11th in TFL's with 4.5.

His start is incredibly hot. I had heard that he was really good and a force, but had no idea that he was this good.

Yeah, I dont’ think there’s much left in his tank at the and of the game.

When Buss gets back to 100% there surely isnt a better line backing corp in the nation!!!

This is the huge ? Buss has been near non-existent (even though he's played) while Olson is making every-other tackle. So If and when Buss gets back to his butt-kicking ways, does he take over making all the tackles that Olson is getting now or can they both be dominant forces? I know ppl aren't gonna like my opinion (as usual), but I think once Buss regains his dominance, he'll clearly re-take the tackle lead from Olson. I love Olson's play but Buss is a way better player than Olson if both are healthy.

Should Baer get any credit for the linebacker play? So far he seems to know what he is doing as defensive coordinator. Hopefully the db’s will play well when they face a decent passing team. Right on :thumb:

It’s not a zero sum game. It’s not like “if Buss’s #’s go up, Olson’s must come down”...When offensives have to account for BOTH of these guys, healthy, on the field at the same time for the majority of the game it'll just create MORE headaches for the OC.

This...and I see Buss being an unreal weak side linebacker, with his speed and range. Olson will stay in the middle of the field likely.

We brought them both on multiple blitz packages last week and they would attack the A Gaps. Whoever the lineman picked up...the other crosses over and got through almost every time. Eventually doing that, one of them is gonna kill a QB.

I didn't see that play. Was looking downfield. What happened? Clearly, a roughing? Anyone?
