Rochesterfan Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 @mikerodak Bills will sign RB/FB Mike Tolbert, source tells @JordanRaanan. I don't hate this - hope the money is right. I expect him to be the "receiving" FB and probably a special teams and short yardage running back. As he was released - he also should not count against our FA signings - potentially a good sign. I will give Whaley props on this and hope it works out. Bringing in guys the coach wants - another good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This is what new coaches do, they bring in a few of their guys. Not gonna get upset over a $1 million contract. I am very curious to see what we do about WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - which also likely means McDermott knows he brings something with regard to intangibles - leadership, work ethic, mentoring etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderingsquid Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Love the signing, love the short yardage bowling balls if used correctly. Just no JUMBO PACKAGE please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas baller Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 He's no LeGarrette Blount. Tolbert is shorter, slower, fatter with 114 yards all last season. Didn't crack the rotation even when Carolina's 1st stringers went down which always happens. Guaranteed to slow down the game and force punts if he plays. Anybody with an OL can gain a yard. Winning appears to be secondary to McDermott. What a coward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I always liked Tolbert and wanted to see him in Buffalo going back to his days in San Diego even.............but he's pretty old now so I'm not expecting much and this is basically a zero cap hit......somebody has to fill that spot so no big deal.

Paul Costa Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Don't forget Williams probably going to be suspended for DWI last Summer,For a couple of games to start the year. He's a good ST guy too. Nice cheap pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) RB's are FB, TB or HB's. so being a RB/FB is redundant. He is a FB/HB. Unless you get to the wishbone stuff, TB, HB and FB is all ya gotta know. not picking on anyone, at all!... but it is stuff like this that shows how water down and dumbed down most football has become.

The Bills have had trouble gaining a yard on third/ fourth and short for as long as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
