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.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
