When's Tolbert projected to be back?

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.

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

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.

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

 

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.

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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
