I saw Tolbert stand up a DE and drive him back.. I don't know what else people would want out of FB as versatile as Tolbert.. maybe more consistent blocking? but he wasn't inconsistent by any means, so yeah..

Hoover was more your traditional NFL fullback

Tolbert is more RB that can play FB

pretty much how I would label them as well..

As an App State guy, it was really hard for me at first to pull for Hoov (WCU). Plus he absolutely demolished my high school team his senior year at Ledford. But watching that guy week in and week out do the thankless job at fullback, he quickly became one of my favorite players.

Agree with others in this post, hard to compare the two after one year, playing in completely different offenses. I hope I grow to love Tolbert as much as I did Hoover as a player.

Wonder what Hoover is up to these days?

there is no way to compare. Hoov had one job and he was humble enough and dedicated enough to do it very well, beyond anyone's expectation for a long time.

Tolbert is a very talented player who is listed as a fullback mostly because he really does not fit anywhere else. He is non-traditional. To our luck and Marty's credit his non-traditional body-type and skill set is perfect for Chud's system. I don;t think he is Bettis and I don't think he is Darryl Johnston. He is Mike Tolbert and his Panther jersey will sell and sell very well before its over.

Virtually every nfl FB was a RB convert. We don't have nearly enough info to compare them right now but I'd say Hoover was the better blocker and Tolbert will be the better runner. Tolbert is going to have to show some serious vision from the FB position to top Hoover imo.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE.

      You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.

      [The Athletic] Do teams pay attention to NFL media mock drafts? Maybe more than you’d expect

      According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
