I'll be damned. Alex Armah is making his case

Yeah, I walked away from his performance yesterday concerned...  not because of his performance, but because he put us in a tough position.  He is clearly the better athlete with a ton of pop in his pads compared to Young.  But, I watched him closely when he was in, and he still has to develop the technical aspects of being a full-time FB...  for instance, I watched him make a great lead block on a run, then a few plays later, he completely whiffed on his assignment and the run got blown up in the backfield by the guy he whiffed on.  But, I think he is the more dangerous weapon of the two FB candidates, even now.  If he can grow into a consistent blocker...  wow.

Better than Tolbert.

Not defending Tolbert as a great but, better than Tolbert, dang, getting old around here is dangerous.  Did you forget all the times you cheered when he bowled people over.  Why not evaluate him without throw "shade" at others that busted their azz for us.

I define anything negative about Tolbert as 2015 and beyond Tolbert, not dominating Tol-dozer.

The kid looked good and I hope to see him do his thing on Sundays.

  As guy get old they begin to suck, cut them, trade them or retire them, but move on, don't bash them is my thing.

  Yeah, he should have been gone a few yrs ago, but he didn't stink the whole time is my point.

He had one good year in 2013 then sucked the rest of his time here.

We used to carry 2 FBs all the time when Brockel was here. I can easily see us carry 2 again this year.

In the grand scheme of things carrying extra players at these types of positions will minimize are depth at more import ones like DE. Safety. WR...

not to mention most importantly special teams play lags because unathletic guys like a Tolbert or Darrell young have to play to keep value.. we already have a long snapper who is a liability.. small things like this are exposed when you face teams with true return specialist..

Agree. Carrying two FBs is a waste.

I say we move on from this Mike Tolbert clone(Darrell Young) and let the young bul loose..

Young is nothing like Tolbert at all. He is a pure FB . I too want Armah to be the future but that is a bad comparison

I dont see the point in carrying 2 unless 1 can be usedin special teams.  I imagine with armah playing defense in college that he could play special teams, but id rather him start

      Peeking at the roster in 2026

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
