Lee Ward run block....

[TheRed]

Tolbert has slimmed down quite a bit. Im not sure he can pack the same punch as years past. 

Even more than he did last offseason?

Ward's skill set is perfect for the power run game.  Love it.  Don't know if there is room for him on the 53 though, but damn, if not, he better be on the PS and be ready to step right in and steamroll some opposing LB's if the toldozer goes down.

leverage is a bitch to deal with...............

Little known fact: This is a more accurate quotation of what Archimedes originally said, but someone thought "give me a lever and I will move the world" sounded more dignified so they had it changed in the history books.

I think you'd have to put him on the roster. I don't think he would make it to the practice squad. He'd get snatched by some team I'm sure.

Man can block.

Having a guy like Ward to block on ST would be worth a lot too in addition to the running/ pass protection game.  Guys like him and Ritchie Brockel are overlooked most of the time, but I definitely think our ST suffered last year with Brockel being hurt.  Guys like Brockel and Hartsock (before last year) did a lot of dirty work for us over the last several years.

Do agree it would be tough to have Ward on regular season roster since Tolbert is listed a FB and he has PS eligibility.  Same reason I think Damiere Byrd ends up on PS as well even though I think he has way more upside than Bersin or Boykin

I'm not so sure about this.  It seems we're a team that values fullbacks more than most?

So do you think there's a possibility the Panthers would keep Ward and Tolbert would take the spot of Todman/ Wegher?

[PantherPhann89]

We can keep Ward and cut Brockel...

[Mr. Scot]

Put Ward on the practice squad and there's a good chance he's a Giant.

They like Henry Hynoski but he's been banged up some over the last year or two and Ward might actually be a better blocker.

[JayNasty]

Bye bye Brockel

Yep.  It was a good run Richie but Ward is here to stay. 

[TheWiz]

this is the white, FB version of Mr. Thomas Davis.... he will find a place on the 53

when comparisons get a little too out of hand...

Seek and destroy, love it.
