Is Raheem The Dream Calling Plays?
September 4th, 2009Maybe new offensive coordinator Greg Olson is a polished brown-noser.
Maybe Olson is angling for a new contract worthy of an offensive coordinator.
Maybe Raheem The Dream wants a big hand in the offense.

Olson talked about how he is comfortable on the field but has called plays from both locations. And then he said, “I kind of feel comfortable being next to Raheem and getting a feel for what he wants.”
