Wanted: Blocking Fullback

[Jon Snow]

There was 10 defenders on the los, no way that play was going to work. Yet, for some reason DA still ran it.

I would take it a step further. Ron doesn't seem to prepare for his opponent differently.  It's the dumb macho gameplan teams.  We gon ruuhn the ball like we always do mane.

In a league that has specifically and intentionally bent its rules to favor the passing game.

BUT RAN DAT BALL GRUNT GRUNT

Was Trai pulling on this play? Was it supposed to be a power, and he just couldn't get around that mess bc we got blown off the ball? The more I look the more that looks like the case... If so that's more of an issue than Tolbert... We've consistently been on the wrong side of the LOS up front offensively and defensively... That's the real issue for us...

3rd and 1. i-formation. Should be an easy pickup. 

 

Tolbert doesn't want to get his uni dirty for the post game group photo.

Tolbert is trash. Seems like a nice guy and good locker room presence but is wasting spot on the team. 

I dumped him my madden lineup and roll with sandland as a fullback. True to life, tolberts blocking stats are terrible.

He has been tuuuurrrrrible this year.  I dont know how we have not brought in someone.

Here is the thing. We have all known Tolbert is awful for quite a while now, yet the coaching staff insists on him being key in these plays. 

 

WHY>?

pussy coaching staff is worried about locker room fallout if Tolbert is upset.  They lost the team at this point.  Probably a combination of poor coaching and G-man doing nothing to help the team.  He just told everyone yeah no matter how good you are we are going to get the good end of the contract or you can leave like they are lucky to be here.  Could have worked out had our team been better coached and we didn't rely on rookies early in the season but it rolled the other way.  Good job

Oh ffs Igo has turned into a sado/masochist the last 2 weeks... lol.

But seriously, Igo... that was horrible.  WTF is the purpose of Tolbert on this damn roster? 

We need to cut him and bring in Devon Johnson!

Bring back the Lee Ward train woot woot!

I've been screaming for Marcel Reese.  Guy knows how to do a bit of everything.  You trade experience for experience, but get a much better blocker.

I cursed out loud at the TV watching this play. My wife, who knows very little about football even commented "wasn't Tolbert supposed to block that guy".

If performance and conditioning was why Bene was cut, then fuging cut Tolbert ass this week after film review.

This to me is an example of why Ron, for all the talk of being a players coach, and being an awful situational coach, may end up getting canned. We cut Bene for being apparently out of shape, and lack of effort, but guys like Tolbert, and Remmers are still guaranteed roster spots because they are coaches favorites. There was another guy who was a favorite of Rivera's, it took what seemed like forever for Ron to finally let him go, that was of course before trying him on the OL. Sione Fua. Ugh.

Fua, Bell, Chandler. God damn.

[csx]

None of them seem to be very effective in that.

Why do we consistently ask Funchess to block LBs? He manhandles DBs, but it ain't fair to keep asking him to man up on LBs - and then never throw him the ball. If we wanted a blocking TE, we should have just drafted a blocking TE.
