Can Tolbert be our feature back?

I think it depends on who we're playing.  If it's a bigger, slower line D-Lo is the quickest and has the best ability to dodge. 

 

If the D is dropping 8-9 in the box, pound Stewart and Tolbert to keep it fresh.

 

Go with the hot hand at the time.  Rankless and tagless, baby.

I absolutely love Tolbert he's prbly my new favorite player, his jersey on the way....that being said I like him in his current role, coming on and providing a boost....I feel he can be more productive for LONGER coming in and spelling a feature back....ppl need to understand we are getting the job done with a sub par aging offensive line....deangelo and Stewart are still great backs and remember Stewart is still trying to get back in the swing of things, if you thought Stewart was gonna come right in and be his old self your crazy, he didn't participate in training camp or OTA's....one of the 3 are Deff gonna be gone in the offseason and it's either gonna be deangelo or Stewart....Tolbert and one of them are the future for at least the next couple years...keep Tolbert fresh for short yardage and change of pace....I consider him a closer who gets the job done in the clutch when we need him most.....he comes in and puts the nail in the coffin...."he came in like a wrecking ball" hah

Tolbert may be as talented as any of our backs but the fact he is used the way he is makes him more effective. Teams don't game plan for him. You don't know what to expect when he is back there. Even on short yardage.

Considering Tolbert and Cam have been our 2 most effective rushers since 2012....I would wager teams do gameplan for him

Tolbert is by far the most effective rb so far this season. I see nothing wrong with making him our primary back while rotating D and Stewart when Tolbert needs a breather.

I think a massive dose of Tolbert could wear down most d-lines by the third quarter,giving us a huge advantage in the 4th.

That being said, his kamikaze running style makes me fearful of injuries.
