Matt_In_NH Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Tolbert is a change of pace guy, he cant be the every down guy. I hope he would not be the plan if McCoy goes out with an injury. I get that would be the plan for the rest of a game but they would have to bring Banyard in. I think J Williams should be comnpared to Banyard and not Tolbert. Tolbert fills a different role.

cage Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I"m not sure I would say Tolbert over JWillams, but certainly JW should have been kept over Banyard. While I love most everything, I'm still flummoxed by this move and would be thrilled if they grabbed him back off of Broncos PS over Banyard.
Watching since 1964 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) I'd like someone other than Tolbert as #2 RB as well. And I think that will happen when they're satisfied with certain aspects of the next guys' up game. That being said, I haven't seen the replay today, but it seemed like a great play by the ATL tackler who appeared to injure Tolbert's hand with his helmet causing the fumble.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Agreed. We need a change of pace that has the ability to break off big plays like Tevin Coleman, Tarik Cohen, Jamaal Charles, Gilly. Tolbert is not that guy.
ganesh Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I said I want him on the team. He serves a purpose. He shouldn't get the backup carries that Karlos and Gillislee got. got it
LABILLBACKER Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Should've somehow signed Gillislee or at the very least keep JWill on this roster. Shady will need to come out during various times of the game. Tolbert is a zero cut bruiser who cannot take on the full time load if McCoy goes down.
Mat68 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Trying to tackle Tolbert after Mccoy would be a strain. I do not expect to see Tolbert being the factor back if Mccoy goes down. I would like to T Jones get some carries. Hes got good speed and could add a change of pace to the change of pace.
re enlightener Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 IDK - the Bills are 3-1 and in first place and they've done that by beating teams that everyone is saying they can't beat and they are one completion from beating Carolina and a 4-0. So not sure how anyone can second guess the coach at this point in time. wow so a win means evreything someone did was perfect? no room to criticize? and we almost lost 2 of the 3 wins and should have easily beat carolina who scored a whopping 9 points! Maybe a home run hitting rb would have made carolina a W and made the other games alot less close.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 If Tolbert sticks as the 2, at least just call straight power dive plays for him. Watching him run these shotgun stretch and sweep plays-- and try to juke guys-- is tough and doesn't play to his strengths.
Thunderstealer Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 He went for it on fourth down in Carolina. Mike schopp failed to mention it in the aftershow but when Buffalos punting game was clicking, SM wrongly chose to go for it. Big reason why were not 4/0.
Heavy Kevi Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Agree with the OP. Tolbert is garbage. But I get what he was trying to do by keeping the big boy. If Shady goes down it's gonna get ugly.
Straight Hucklebuck Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Well you look at Teams like the Seahawks, Rawls is constantly hurt, Procise is injured, Carson goes on IR, Lacy comes and goes, then they pull McKissic out of nowhere. The Packers lose Montgomery and Williams and they still have a rookie 6th Rounder to go to and dressed him for the game. McCoy has been holding his wrist at points of every game since the opener and we saw what happened when DiMarco got a carry. We've been getting by with smoke and mirrors offensively. There is no depth at RB, WR or TE. Edited October 4, 2017 by Straight Hucklebuck
The Frankish Reich Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Bad comparison and bad joke. Better than the old "O.J. still has that slashing style" meme ...
Boatdrinks Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Better than the old "O.J. still has that slashing style" meme ... I kind of liked both jokes actually. It's a close call.
Buffalo86 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Was disappointed when Williams was cut & fairly shocked that he only made it to the Broncos' practice squad. There's a juicy story in there somewhere.
fridge Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Fred Jackson, anyone? Be still, my beating heart.
PABillsfan23 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Not sure of everyones obsession over Williams.. An average back up running back
LeGOATski Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 I think he definitely wanted Tolbert because of the culture he's establishing and expected Tolbert to also provide a splash on the field. However, only one half of that plan is working. Tolbert is underperforming on the field. He runs soft for such a big dude. Kind of like Dixon.
