The Tolbert Effect


KillaCamNewton

Recommended Posts

Going back to the beginning of last season, our record with Tolbert on the field is 14-2

Without him? 1-6-1

Coincidence or contribution?

I think his value to the team is one of the most underrated aspects of the team. Blocking, catching out of the backfield, goaline TDs and getting first downs on 3rd and short. 

Something to consider as he approaches free agency this offseason

Coincidence ... Tobert does NOT block .. not once have I seen him lay out a linebacker or make room for Stew behind him .. He may have his occasional catch here or 2 yard run there but its all shade IMO.  Ward would/should have taken his spot on the roster but for some reason the dancing bear is still dancing

I think we just need a younger power RB. Another Stewart.

Tolbert plays around 30% of the snaps a given week.   He is a nice ultility HB but we just need youth there.  Can't ask him to hold up at his age being that

We will eventually, next year or the year after.  But Tolbert is ok for the role he is playing right now.  He doesn't have that much mileage on him for a back his age.

    • I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme
    • You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.
    • It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
