Rivera On RB Cuts

[Khyber53]

There's space for Ward and Wegher, but both will have to play out big time over the next two preseason games to make the team. Players like Fozzy and Brockel won't be pried away from the roster without some kind of really good reason. Their experience alone gives them extra points when it comes to making the roster.

And Tolbert is going nowhere. His style of play isn't shown much in the preseason --- too much chance of damaging the goods.

I don't think they will cut Tolbert. Likely talking about Fozzy. 

I realize this means very little but Tolbert was featured on one of the seasons game tickets that psl holders get. Hard to imagine them cutting a guy they deemed worthy enough to put on the ticket along with nine other core members.

Look, when Tolbert was playing last season we were 7-3. We were 1-6-1 when he was out. There is no way we are cutting him. If we did that, we'd have to keep someone else as a blocker, which negates the benefit of keeping him. In all likelihood he's talking about Fozzy, and maybe Richie Brockel.

Ward the Punisher is making a statement in game.  Ward is cheaper and is an excellent blocker.  He neutralizes any DL, the way he blocks is phenomenal.

 

 

Bye bye Richie

First of all I dont see 3 running backs staying healthy for an entire NFL season keeping pace in every single game..

 

Stew, Cap, Weg...? I love Ward but Tolbert seems to have a certain soul to this team.. I can't put any cuts past DG though. Its hard to say Ill be shocked when someone gets cut and picked up quickly by someone else

Who is a potential positive future as well as a potential positive present?

These are the questions that the running backs coach, offensive coordinator, and head coach need to ask themselves.

I have ZERO faith that they will answer them correctly.

I'd like to see if we could trade Tolbert for a decent WR or some picks. 

[Ricky Spanish]

I can see us getting rid of Brockel for Ward. 

I don't know what to do to keep Wegher around. We could only keep two at most between Todman, Fozzy, Wegher and Tolbert. Of those two who do you get rid of? I say cut Fozzy, but between the other 3 I just don't know. 

[Plewis]

Wish it coulda worked out Fozzy but we gotsta move on bud. You understand.

Todman is nothing special. Just a pure speed guy. There's not an apparent weakness in Wegher's game, he looks well rounded

What has Tolbert done lately?  I like him--he has the positive attitude etc.---but 2 shots on the goal line--he looked slow and hesitant to me.  He is a 29-year old RB who plays at 250.  He could be done.  Most Rbs don't shine on the other side of 30, and they are not carrying extra weight.

Fozzy, Todman, these are JAGs. I believe in Wegher. The guys scores touchdowns, that's how you win. Most importantly he believes he's going to score them, don't underestimate that

Fozzy was a threat to score every time he touched the ball last year. You guys have goldfish memories.

If we did that, we'd have to keep someone else as a blocker, which negates the benefit of keeping him, because we'd have to carry two people to replace one. In all likelihood he's talking about Fozzy, and maybe Richie Brockel. 

thank God for some reason in this thread. People forget how important tolberts return last year was to the turnaround. 

Tolbert does the non flashy stuff extremely well (like blitz pick up, short yardage, and catching balls out of the back field)  

the huddle never ceases to amaze in preseason.  A few guys have some decent showings against other teams scrubs and all of a sudden we should toss out our proven commodities to make room for these sure fire all pros.

Hell, if you went with the huddle on some prior roster moves, I'm sure Taye Biddle would be amongst the greatest to ever played WR and they would already be molding his bust for Canton

Tolbert getting Shula'd so hard right now. Guy has loads of talent but we aren't using him right.

you know...I like Fozzy but he's not going to get any better. He will never be an every down back. Can't say that Wegher couldn't be.

just because he was a threat last year doesn't mean he is this year. #competition
