Bruschi Props


Recommended Posts

Yesterday on NFL Live there was discussion surrounding the most underrated pickup this offseason. I think It was Wingo that said it had to be the Patriots picking up Brandon Lloyd. He then looked to Bruschi for agreement but Bruschi was all over the Mike Tolbert signing. Said putting a versatile FB like Tolbert in with two feature backs and Cam will give the offense a lot more options and should be fun to watch. Likely the best run game in the league.

Looking forward to September

I saw that - was kinda surprised that the Tolbert signing got the props it did because it's even passed over locally a lot because we're all so concerned with whether our defense will manage to play NFL ball this year or if we're going to have the Ice Capades in the middle of the field again.

I agree with him though - that could be an addition that makes our already monster backfield the best in the league.

I really hope we use Tolbert on loads of screen passes. It seemed to be his bread and butter in SD.

The problem is, Stew is really good at that as well, so it would fix a problem we don't have. However, with both in the backfield, we could conceivably send Stew to the left and Tolbert to the right and screen to either side.

Other than goal line, Tolbert will probably touch the ball more in the passing game than the running game.

Sadly within 5 years the Panthers will be nut hugged to no end like the patriots or dallas.

Well - I meant to hit Quote and I hit Pie instead....so congratulations on free pie?

Anyhow...there are worse things in the world than a little nut hugging.

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
