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.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
