Rivera On RB Cuts

[pantherclaw]

Tolbert isn't going anywhere.

[OceanPanther]

Tolbert is not the blocker he was 3 yrs ago,, for the last 2 seasons, he gets stuffed inside the 2 yard line all the time.

why bring in the Wards and Weghers if you're not going to actually watch what they do in practice and in games.

if ward and Weghers make the team, it's not just because of what the dud against other teams scrubs .

[Frizzy350]

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

YES! That is exactly it.  When he is on the field he presents himself as someone that will not be denied.

[Panfan35]

Solution.    1 give fozzy his walking papers

                     2 move tolbert to rb 

                      3 insert ward at fb

We are gonna need a stable of running backs this season cause we are running alot..... hale shula

I been saying this since the middle of  last season, this is not a young inexperienced team anymore. The guys we considered young are seasoned vets now, its time to start keeping the young cheaper talent over the older vets we already have now. I just dont see Cotchery and Tolbert making huge contributions this year and we might have something long term with Wegher and Lee.

[CPF4LIFE]

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  

 

 

Actually he hasnt been doing this well lately. Had a lot big drops last year.

[Seltzer]

I think everyone here wants to see more of Ward and Wegher against better competition.

Both of those guys have dominated the lower level competition though.  Ward convincingly knocked back a DE tonight- that is impressive even if the guy is 3rd string.

Ward would be the only true fullback.  Heck, he could block for Tolbert on short yardage.

The Taye Biddle reference above is awesome, and Ward nor Wegher have proven anything so far other than preseason, but they both are 2 of the most impressive UDFA's I have ever seen in Panthers camp

[rodeo]

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

That doesn't really make any sense. You're overlooking a guy who near single handedly won us a playoff game because some other guy looked good in the 4th quarter of the preseason.

1 catch 39 Yds TD, 1 rush 4 yards. Arizona stats for Fozzy. The legendary game of Fozzy Whittaker

[Marguide]

The turnaround last year was due to improvements on defense, not Tolbert. He doesn't look like the player he was 2 seasons ago.

 

I haven't seen enough from him to declare him untouchable. 

[glo]

people are overreacitng. cutting tolbert because he didn't get in the endzone? they stuffed the box because they knew cam wouldn't run because its preseason. regular season i expect that to be a td 9/10 times.

[panthers34]

Replace Tolbert with a true FB like Ward, keep Stew, CAP, Todman, Wegher. Sorry Fozzy, but you've been overhyped as much as Philly Brown.

how is Fozzy overhyped? No one said he was a good starting running back. His role is to catch some screens and make some big plays every once in a while like he did last year against Arizona and a few other times. I'm not saying he should make this team because he's got some really good players pushing him but he is not overhyped. He was more just a fan favorite with his awesome name and Darren sproles like plays. 

Philly is terrible though. He trys to catch everything with his chest and is uncomfortable extending his hands for a ball away from him. You have to hit him right in the chest perfectly in stride for him to maybe catch it 

[glo]

idk wtf y'all talking bout. philly is dope he had a bad game. those handoffs and deep runs r amazing.

[juliosantos]

tolberts not getting cut, fozzy is gone. as good as he looked wegher and todman are just better and younger
