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.

    • Yeah, I've been torn up all week about this. And I'm going to be honest, you and I don't know poo about what is going on with the team. Are they losing the locker room? Not seeing anything from the players about that, just seeing it on forums like this. Are they concerned? Yeah, I'd think that would be a reasonable assumption. Are they rallying around Bryce? Yeah, that I'm seeing from the stuff we see of the players. Is some of it a bit drummed up, quite possibly. Is some of it genuine care and belief in their teammate, yeah most definitely. What is Morgan going to do? Hell, that was just week 1. And week one is often a liar. Once in a while it tells the truth (and that sure was an ugly one to tell last Sunday). Most often, it's just what it is. Half the teams that played in week one lost. Straight down the middle. Sometimes it was a close game, sometimes it was a blowout. We got punched in the face, had our lunch money stolen and Jacksonville kissed our girlfriend.  Me, I saw a team that wasn't up to speed yet. We were playing like this was the fourth pre-season game like we used to have. We're going to learn a lot about Bryce, this team, our coaching and team management after this week's game. It's against the Cardinals, a team that has always been one of those benchmarks for it. Beat them and good things happen (remember that killer game Julius Peppers had against them), lose and it often starts the fast slide to the bottom again (sadly, that playoff game with Jake...). Right now, the Cardinals have their Bryce Young, except their guy still has a better PR department. They have a meh-ish defense. They have a star WR that is underperforming and was possibly over-drafted. They don't have many stars to speak of and dwell around 3rd-4th place in their division on a regular basis. In other words, they are pretty much on par with us. And they are a forgotten team as well, playing games in obscurity. So, yeah, we're going to learn the tale of the season this weekend. And honestly, if we lose like we just did or worse, and I was Dan Morgan, I'd be working on polishing up that resume`. 
    • Lol I don’t understand why everyone is liking that post and quoting it, it’s from last season. Did I miss something? 
    • At this point, I don't want anymore fools gold from Young. He either needs to be in the MVP conversation  (lol) or I want to get blown out every game until he is off the team. Our front office just isn't bright enough to handle anything in between.
