Jeez,.. Tolbert was probably 250lbs there,.. reid was what? 205 soak and wet?

it was a poor business decision to go at him like a Ram,..

he should have taken a leg instead ha

[Dave Gettleman's Shorts]

One of my favorite games from 2013. This one and the rain game vs the saints.

If y'all want to watch REAL defense watch this game.

[PhillyB]

damn, i forgot that was reid. scary any time guys go rag doll limp like that.

[Hoenheim]

Didn't know he was a first round pick, that speaks to how good he was in college at least.

Still doing research on him as a player

he's okay. 

As such, he's the greatest upgrade for the Panthers since Steve Smith replaced donald hayes.

I remember that play very well. It was one of the first things that came to mind when we were discussing Reid.

I think it was around 2015 that Reid was considering retirement because of repeated concussions. Tolbert's hit may have been the one that got that thought process started.

Young Tolbert had such great feet for a big guy.

Well considering the Panthers put next to zero effort into getting quality safties for going on several years,  I might actually agree with you 

[LinvilleGorge]

Was that the beginning of his concussion issues? Any fight fan knows that sometimes as soon as a fighter gets KO'd once that chin turns to glass.

[wud35]

He was damn good in college. pretty good so far in the pros. I honestly the he will be better with the Pathers than he was with the 49ers

Trying to think of the last legit safety we had that stayed more than a couple of years. May be Mike Minter
