Tolbert had one carry today

This, to me, was Shula's biggest flaw today. In a game dominated by pouring rain, needing to establish the run and stay balanced, with a lead for much of the game, with Cam struggling to make throws and receivers struggle to make catches, he chose to call Tolbert's number once.

 

Once. One time.

 

Tolbert is one of the best weapons on this team and we pretended he didn't exist. In Shula's defense, Tolbert is best in short yardage and we were facing 3rd-and-longs all day, but still, I don't see how you don't do a better job of incorporating him into the gameplan.

 

Minor complaint, I'm glad we played well enough to win, but I hope we fix this for ATL and our impending playoff game.

I can't pie this enough.

 

in the pouring rain, should have ran Tolbert on first and second down.  Instead, we were determined for the boom or bust of Williams, who was more bust than boom today and was completely ineffective in the second half due to not being able to cut anymore because of weather.  In a way, My mind still doesn't believe this game happened today after the massive amount of heartbreakers we lost the past 2 seasons.

 

All of that said, This game was huge for us, but next week is just as important as this game.  We can rest then, we're 1 week away from being in position to make a super bowl run.

I agree, I was saying this during the game day thread, in the red zone we decided to pass or the 3rd and 2 and I was screaming Tolbert!!!! Tolbert!!!! Guess Shula did not hear me.

In further defense of Shula, we are heavily limited by our offensive line full of my-size barbies and Steve Smith's absence for 3 quarters.

 

meh dwill still got 12 carries, and we had a couple short yardage plays where tolbert seemed to be the one who should get the ball

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      Given the draft makeup after the top-10 or so, I feel many teams are going to be hoping for trade downs. Which makes downward movement a bit more tricky.  So they may just go for the best impact they see fit and surprise.  I mean, can use someone at all levels of our defense (ILB, DE, S and Slot). Offense need more OL bodies and could use another WR. No way we can be zeroed in on a particular position.  Makes me damn curious to our board and how they’re weighing immediate vs long term impact.  I still see multiple guys rather than positions in play. S: Thieneman, McNeil-Warren ILB: Rodriguez, Allen DL: Faulk, McDonald WR/TE: Saddiq, Cooper, Boston, Conception OL: Freeling, Proctor, Lomu, Iheanachor Heck, even the EDGE group in our range is interesting like Parker. - Then there’s these guys that are in that 19/51 fringe range that seem to be really good fits-Haulcy, J Rod, Golday, etc.

      I guess I could see it if we got breaks, but we got the breaks this year and it was still 8 wins.   Also I dont see TB crumbling, they are a competent franchise that hit the injury bug last year I dont know what to think about NO so theres that. Atlanta majorly upgraded at coach so there is always something to having a competent grown up leading a team.

      Glad he's coming back but honestly surprised. I guess the new staff convinced him there was going to be PT for him. It was baffling how Hubert never played him. Its not like we were a top 10 type team looking like a contender and had it all figured out. We should've been giving him opportunities. There was no reason not to. Utter lack of bench development and hard headedly running his starters into the ground because he was afraid to go to his bench was an knowing issue with Hubert that he just wasn't growing out of with more HC experience. If you don't play them how are they supposed to develop? And his starters could do no wrong. Didn't matter what they did, they wouldn't get yanked and their playing time wouldn't decrease. But if a bench guy came in and made one mistake he was probably getting buried for three or four games. That's a recipe for your starters playing sloppy and your bench playing tight and scared. Saw it year after year.
