Seahawks’ TEs Will Be Solid Safety Valves

While Greg Olsen isn’t the game-changing tight-end he was four years ago, he can still contribute a lot to the offense. Olsen has soft hands, is still a good route runner, and has the knowledge to find the soft spot in zones. His Pro-Bowl years are likely behind him. However, he could contribute a lot in the run game as a blocker and is a very good red-zone target. He will be a good safety net for Wilson if Russell ever finds himself in trouble.

Much like Olsen, Will Dissly is more a safety valve than a big play threat. He is a big bodied tight end known more for blocking than receiving. I imagine that is the role he will be playing in the Seahawks offense this season as well. He may not be flashy, but his blocking and ability to seal the edge is vital towards this running games success.

Neither of the Seahawks tight ends will be big time game changers this season from a statistical perspective. However they will have an impact on the offense. Olsen is one of the leagues best leaders and would be a great mentor for younger players.

Dissly will make an impact on this team’s run game and in the red zone. Expect Olsen to have about 500 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns and Dissly around 200 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns. They won’t be in a position to put up huge numbers, but that won’t be needed either.
