Can Tolbert be our feature back?

I think it depends on who we're playing.  If it's a bigger, slower line D-Lo is the quickest and has the best ability to dodge. 

 

If the D is dropping 8-9 in the box, pound Stewart and Tolbert to keep it fresh.

 

Go with the hot hand at the time.  Rankless and tagless, baby.

I absolutely love Tolbert he's prbly my new favorite player, his jersey on the way....that being said I like him in his current role, coming on and providing a boost....I feel he can be more productive for LONGER coming in and spelling a feature back....ppl need to understand we are getting the job done with a sub par aging offensive line....deangelo and Stewart are still great backs and remember Stewart is still trying to get back in the swing of things, if you thought Stewart was gonna come right in and be his old self your crazy, he didn't participate in training camp or OTA's....one of the 3 are Deff gonna be gone in the offseason and it's either gonna be deangelo or Stewart....Tolbert and one of them are the future for at least the next couple years...keep Tolbert fresh for short yardage and change of pace....I consider him a closer who gets the job done in the clutch when we need him most.....he comes in and puts the nail in the coffin...."he came in like a wrecking ball" hah

Tolbert may be as talented as any of our backs but the fact he is used the way he is makes him more effective. Teams don't game plan for him. You don't know what to expect when he is back there. Even on short yardage.

Considering Tolbert and Cam have been our 2 most effective rushers since 2012....I would wager teams do gameplan for him

Tolbert is by far the most effective rb so far this season. I see nothing wrong with making him our primary back while rotating D and Stewart when Tolbert needs a breather.

I think a massive dose of Tolbert could wear down most d-lines by the third quarter,giving us a huge advantage in the 4th.

That being said, his kamikaze running style makes me fearful of injuries.

      So, Is Bryce Playing this Week or Nah?

      By strato · Posted

      Theilen came back and Bryce had him. Which he was lost for Andy after the first game, or am I wrong on that?    And people are so overrating most of those Bryce games. There were a couple of good ones and a very good one. Of his basically two complete very good games. That Atlanta game in that stretch and the Dallas game this year being the complete ones. Maybe I missed one but the 2023 Green Bay game was really a very good 4th quarter and a average 1st half. Maybe I missed another but that NYG Europe game was nothing to brag about yet people did. Just sayin.  I mean you can name his really nice games on one hand. Out of how many now? 33? 34? Something like that.

      So, the goal that should not have been a goal.... https://www.nhl.com/news/carolina-hurricanes-colorado-avalanche-coach-challenge-x1595 Challenge Initiated By: Carolina Type of Challenge: Missed Game Stoppage Event – High-Sticking the Puck Result: Original call confirmed – Goal Colorado Explanation: The Situation Room supported the Referee’s call on the ice that Parker Kelly’s stick was not above the normal height of his shoulders when he contacted the puck at 15:31 of the second period (4:29 elapsed time) – 17 seconds prior to his goal. The decision was made in accordance with Rule 80.1. Penalty: 2:00 minor penalty: Delay of Game – Unsuccessful Challenge ------------------------------------------------------------ How the challenge was interpreted as a high stick challenge is beyond me. What I cannot find is what/how RBA challenged the goal and how it was reviewed as a high stick goal when Stevie Wonder could see the hand extending off Kelly's stick, essentially grabbing at the puck and it went by Freddie.
