Apparently Tolbert Is Giving Intel On The Panthers Offense To The Same Coaches Who Are From Said Panthers Team

[Saca312]

Apparently Tolbert's been talking a lot lately, bragging about giving intel to the Bills ahead of the Panthers matchup.

Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula needs to come with a new bag of tricks on Sunday. Former Panthers power back and current Buffalo Bill Mike Tolbert just got done ratting him out.

Bills coaches looking for an edge would have to be insane not to pick Tolbert's brain about Shula's tendencies and, in all likelihood, Shula is aware of Tolbert's familiarity and is looking to mix it up.

So yeah.

You guys remember that one movie, Homeward Bound?  love that flick

Well we all know the Panthers don't believe in reinventing the wheel. They'll probably just throw in a wrinkle or two here and there. Or we can just use CMC playbook, Tolbert doesn't know that...

Been a while since Tolbert did anything productive with those plays.

Webb does though. I'm not too worried about it either way. All I worry about is how the Panthers play.

I love this. Not just Tolbert but the whole Panther clan up there will force his offense to improvise and change.  Pretty sure the sum of those two ingredients are growth.

Meh, Tolbert ain't the one to worry about. Everything he can say is on film from last year.

But with Shula it could also be a recipe for disaster. However, I hope you are right.

Tolbert was probably out of breath before he was half way done snitching.

So what, it all comes down to the execution of plays by the players. I don't see the Bills as executing much of anything significant with their current roster, even with pulling out their own Panther play book. Especially on our home turf.

I feel like most coaches have seen everything. It just comes down to the disguise and the order of the play calling. And of course execution.

[Davidson Deac II]

Sometimes they like to run the ball, and sometimes they like to pass the ball.

I'm not a Shula hater but we have so many weapons that there is a high probability that trying new attacks will succeed much better than plays from the 2016 playbook in this matchup

The added benefit is we get to experiment in week 2, success will build confidence and make us harder to game plan against. Something I think has been a huge issue in the past.

Happens all the time. No sweat.

Having the information is one thing, being able to do something with it is another. And there have been some changes to personnel and the playbook since their departures.
