Thoughts on Tolbert?

[Jeremy Igo]

Have to admit, saddens me to see a safety stop him dead in his tracks and see him look confused after.

I wanted Alfred Morris this offseason...

I'm over the whole Tolbert thing. Just seems like wasted plays the majority of the time

[cardiackat88.]

I was ready to cut ties with him when he made an unforgivable fumble in the Super Bowl.

2013 was his peak. I like him but his hallmark was moving the pile, and when it's been 2+ years since he could do it alongside his below-average blocking...

Hate to say it because I like the guy and he's been a beast for us in the past, but IMO he's pretty much a waste of a roster spot currently. He's never been a great blocker and he's declined as a runner/receiver.

No poo, I looked at my wife when that happened and said, "I think that little guy just concussed Tolbert."  Couldn't believe he stoned him like that.

Wegher man.

He should have let go on the final cut down.  Love me sum butterball but his time is over.

[Shufdog]

He got hit, it happens.

The whole run play calling was terrible, we should have used J-Stew, CAP & Fozzy early on to stretch the defense out and then pound it with Tolbert. We need to call more zone runs, Power of Tackle  and ISO. Specifically between OTs & OGs instead of OG- C -OG everytime while defense stacks the box.

He wasn't the greatest blocker in his prime, but what made him great was his incredible foot work, elusiveness, and of course, combined that with his power and it was a like watching a bull in a china shop with ballet slippers on.  Sadly, it appears that quick burst and elusiveness are gone, and his power has taken a hit with the lack of burst...  and of course, he still isn't a great blocker, so now he's JAG.  And that sucks.

I could NOT believe he dropped like he did when it was just him running towards that much smaller DB in the hole.  I was actually ecstatic when I saw it developing because I just KNEW he was going to truck him and get a nice gain...  and then he just stopped, IMMEDIATELY, and even fell backwards.

I love him, but i think that roster spot could be better served elsewhere at this point.

Couldn't believe what I saw, a guy that's outweighed by at least 50 pounds stoned Tolbert... if he's our best option at FB then we need to stop using a FB.

Tolbert became Eric Reid last night. It was sad to see.
