The bigger question is who is going to be the upgrade?

A blocking sled would be an upgrade.

Same, although a fullback with a back injury has quite a challenge ahead of him.

That and he seems more like a John Riggins type of player than a traditional blocking fullback. And his back problems have been going on for like 3 years now. Unfortunately don't think he'll ever make it but would love to see it happen.

Hopefully he's all healed up. My feeling early on last season, was that he'd get an injury and we'd stash him. He has a very similar skill set to Tolbert.

Serious back problems never really get all healed up, unfortunately.

He had a good run here but ever since the Super Bowl he has been completely washed.

Neck or back problems on a fullback especially can end a career early.

Wishful thinking on my part...

Tolbert made the Pro Bowl and did basically nothing last year...strange but it just goes to show you that if you want a FB these days you can have your pick of the litter.

Nothing would have been an improvement.

He hurt plays regularly

Good move. Dude was seriously out of shape, and isn't the player he used to be.

trimming the fat they would say. time for a real fullback.

time to get a real fullback now. One that is a blocker first and a good rusher second. Need a brad hoover type

Need a Lorenzo Neal / Vonta Leach type.
