When's Tolbert projected to be back?

[davos]

Anyone know how he's been and when he's projected to return?  I understand we put him on that temp IR/designated to return list so was curious what that time frame is like.  

 

Not that it would make a huge difference behind this line but he is our starting FB and all.

He is a terrible fullback. Excellent goal line runner normally but not this season.

[UNCrules2187]

He isn't eligible to return until after the bye

[TheRumGone]

i think week 13

[blackcat]

Minnesota game will be his next action.

????? So like 2 bad games takes him from being the best FB in the league to "terrible?"

Week 13 against the Vikings

Last season he wasn't the best FB in the league he was the most popular. I'd rather have a FB that is an excellent blocker.

I wouldn't say terrible but yeah.  

 

I mean we line up in the 'i' a good deal so with Brockel on IR, we're either taking that out or maybe using Obi or B. Will (That could get creative).  

 

There's possibly an opportunity for Shula to infuse a little more creativity into the offense because of these injuries.  I mean we run more of a methodical Erdhart-Perkins than a traditional Coryell anyways so I think there's an opportunity presenting itself with Williams and Brown on offense.  We've shown a little with Brown so far.

the return in this alley sucks

[Mr. Scot]

Tolbert isn't a terrible fullback.

 

He's not the 'sledgehammer' blocking kind of fullback that you have in a guy like Howard griffith, but he's still been a very effective back in the mold of a Bob Christian.

I'll give you a dollar if you actually typed out the words "Shula" and "Creativity" without smiling.
