I have never seen a "FB" whiff as much as Tolbert

I would daresay you've never seen a FB run the ball like Mike Tolbert either. I don't care what you say about his blocking. He might miss a block here and there, but his versatility far outweighs the blocks he may miss (which might be 2 per game at most - and I'm not concerned AT ALL about a missed block on an onside kick).

Look closely at Tolbert, he allows Coleman to blow right past him and affect Thomas Davis landing which could have been all bad. I'm not sure why they think he can block just because of his size...on Stewart's second TD run he didn't block anyone either. He rarely picks up a blitzer, we won this I know but it's things like this that could go either way that need to be cleaned up before they decide a game. Thoughts?

 

 

 

I am not going to attack you for bringing up a topic that is not full of sunshine and lollipops like some on here; topic cops, I suppose.  But I will say that this is less about Tolbert and more about the state of affairs in the special teams dept.  We have been poor all season.  Tolbert's missed block (he was, I am sure, zone blocking) seemed to me to be due to a lack of familiarity. 

When we have blown leads, it seems that every time there is some special teams meltdown--a blocked kick, allowing a long return, etc.  Yesterday, we had 2--the fake punt and the kickoff return + Colin Jones penalty.  Both were huge momentum breakers.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
