Lee Ward - Bodyguard

[Jeremy Igo]

Can't wait for training camp to see what this kid can bring. Really won't be able to fully evaluate a player like this until pads are on and contact allowed. 

[Captain Morgan]

really hope he makes the roster.  his tape is fun to watch

Sounds like we have another Hoover. Last time we had a true full back J-Stew and DeAngelo both had 1000 yard seasons.

If anyone actually believes that Tolbert should be cut for this unproven undrafted guy... then you probably believed McNutt could be a #1.

I think he beat out Brockel. Brockel is not good. Has to be a coaches favorite.

Id like to see more i formation, cam under center with a fullback and rb behind him. Throw playaction and qb bootlegs/rollouts in there. If lee ward is like hoover, just let him be the main fullback in that package and have tolbert be stewart's backup.

[Chauncey Ellerbee]

Even if we have Ward in the backfield with Stew and have Olsen, KB and either Ginn,Philly or Hill they cannot put 8 in the box' who can hold KB one on one and you definitely need help over top of our fast 3' Or we can go without Olsen when Wards in so we can play even faster with KB and two fast receivers' someone one on one deep... I love Hill all-day one on one if he catches the durn ball!!!! Same with Ginn lol catch the ball please now Philly is spot on but stay on your feet'

[Chauncey Ellerbee]

Ward and Wegher both should make it on at least 16 teams in the NFL they could start or backup in my opinion' so that says alot for our team wanting them and fans also' I wonder is we can stash them on the practice squad can we hold on to them without trouble from other teams....

[Chauncey Ellerbee]

We want Ward and Wegher both but we so deep it's crazy' if we can hold on to them on the practice squad practice will be awesome and very competitive for the next couple years... I as like that other big receiver we had on the practice squad last year Marcus Lucas

So why are we talking about cutting Tolbert to make room for Ward when the better option was mentioned in the article, cut Brockel?

I think if the coaches believe he deserves a roster spot giving him Brockel's spot would make more sense.

(Not that I'm advocating getting rid of either just yet)

​There's no correlation whatsoever. And look at how much each is getting paid.

​There aren't 2 definite roster spots for the position. We have so much talent at WR now we might want to keep 6 so someone's got to go somewhere else. If Ward can truly be a beast lead-blocking FB, and Tolbert continues to be ineffective (and he was last season) then we should only keep him. I don't see any reason to keep Brockel, to be honest. All this is assuming that Ward is actually any good though. We haven't seen him in pads so this could possibly end up not being a debate at all.

[pantherphan96]

I swear Tolbert gets injured for 8 games and all of a sudden some idiots forget that he's a weapon in pass blocking, run blocking, the running game, and the passing game. No way he gets cut, and no way should he get cut.

[Jackofalltrades]

Reminds me of Nick Goings, more athletic than Hoover and really looks to understand leverage. 

 

I hope he sticks.
