Will Tolbert negate the need for another TE?

We've still got Gary and that dude from Ok St.

I think you will see a lot of different things with this offense. They will be very unpredictable, just like they were the last few games of the year. With everyone more familiar with the coaching I think it will allow Chud to open it up a whole lot more.

What excites me is the thought of the defense/special teams consistently getting good field position for the offense. We had the most drives of 80 yds plus in the NFL this past season. Give this O a shorter field and we will be scoring 30-40 points a game.

Bryant was listed as WR/TE, that might help him make the team? I'm being overly optimistic about this.

Joe Jon Finley/Nelson Rosario is competing with Ben Hartstock, although Hartstock is a better blocker Bryant is probably a better catcher.

My thoughts were originally why would we bring in someone that would take snaps away from Dwill and Stew which indeed it may but not to the extent I thought.When Shockey was not re-signed .My thought now are we will primarily use Tolbert in Leu of a 2nd TE and use a 2 back set.

I was not suggesting we will only carry one on the roster.

I prefer a good 6'5" TE over a little fullback. If Cam has one weakness it's accuracy. We need guy with a nice big catch radius.

he was excellent on throws to tight ends running up the seam, which will be a bread-and-butter route for our tight ends this year. i care more about a guy's ability to separate. accuracy on those routes shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think it's accuracy in general. Before we drafted him his lower body mechanics were a nightmare. Some of that came back during the season in spurts. But I don't think that's an issue. He has spurts of ridiculous accuracy when he's throwing with proper form and even on the run. And most of the season he was accurate.

The difference between being great and elite is a matter of inches. He completed a ton of balls last year but receivers would break stride or jump to make the play. It would never show up in the stat column but it's there. I'm sure he will improve every year.

No, but Tolbert will provide a different look for us, that will allow us to run various plays out of the same set. We will still use a two TE set mainly because Chud offensive playcalling is very TE friendly and it needs more than one TE, in addition; the playcalling calls for the TE to match up against LB on passing routes. Tolbert has the speed but not the height. I believe that Tolbert will mainly be used as a pass catching/running FB.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
