Rivera On RB Cuts

There's space for Ward and Wegher, but both will have to play out big time over the next two preseason games to make the team. Players like Fozzy and Brockel won't be pried away from the roster without some kind of really good reason. Their experience alone gives them extra points when it comes to making the roster.

And Tolbert is going nowhere. His style of play isn't shown much in the preseason --- too much chance of damaging the goods.

I don't think they will cut Tolbert. Likely talking about Fozzy. 

I realize this means very little but Tolbert was featured on one of the seasons game tickets that psl holders get. Hard to imagine them cutting a guy they deemed worthy enough to put on the ticket along with nine other core members.

Look, when Tolbert was playing last season we were 7-3. We were 1-6-1 when he was out. There is no way we are cutting him. If we did that, we'd have to keep someone else as a blocker, which negates the benefit of keeping him. In all likelihood he's talking about Fozzy, and maybe Richie Brockel.

Ward the Punisher is making a statement in game.  Ward is cheaper and is an excellent blocker.  He neutralizes any DL, the way he blocks is phenomenal.

 

 

Bye bye Richie

First of all I dont see 3 running backs staying healthy for an entire NFL season keeping pace in every single game..

 

Stew, Cap, Weg...? I love Ward but Tolbert seems to have a certain soul to this team.. I can't put any cuts past DG though. Its hard to say Ill be shocked when someone gets cut and picked up quickly by someone else

Who is a potential positive future as well as a potential positive present?

These are the questions that the running backs coach, offensive coordinator, and head coach need to ask themselves.

I have ZERO faith that they will answer them correctly.

I can see us getting rid of Brockel for Ward. 

I don't know what to do to keep Wegher around. We could only keep two at most between Todman, Fozzy, Wegher and Tolbert. Of those two who do you get rid of? I say cut Fozzy, but between the other 3 I just don't know. 

Todman is nothing special. Just a pure speed guy. There's not an apparent weakness in Wegher's game, he looks well rounded

What has Tolbert done lately?  I like him--he has the positive attitude etc.---but 2 shots on the goal line--he looked slow and hesitant to me.  He is a 29-year old RB who plays at 250.  He could be done.  Most Rbs don't shine on the other side of 30, and they are not carrying extra weight.

Fozzy, Todman, these are JAGs. I believe in Wegher. The guys scores touchdowns, that's how you win. Most importantly he believes he's going to score them, don't underestimate that

Fozzy was a threat to score every time he touched the ball last year. You guys have goldfish memories.

thank God for some reason in this thread. People forget how important tolberts return last year was to the turnaround. 

Tolbert does the non flashy stuff extremely well (like blitz pick up, short yardage, and catching balls out of the back field)  

the huddle never ceases to amaze in preseason.  A few guys have some decent showings against other teams scrubs and all of a sudden we should toss out our proven commodities to make room for these sure fire all pros.

Hell, if you went with the huddle on some prior roster moves, I'm sure Taye Biddle would be amongst the greatest to ever played WR and they would already be molding his bust for Canton

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
