McBean Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 Cadet is like a Ferrari compared to the pinto Tolbert.
Bakin Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 Violent and shifty running. Seemed a tough nut to crack. Would like to see more of Him.
YoloinOhio Posted December 11, 2017 Author Posted December 11, 2017 Tolbert’s fumble was brutal yesterday! Whyyyyyyy was he getting the ball when Cadet was healthy????
SaviorPeterman Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 If it wasn't for the fumble yesterday Tolbert actually had a meaningful impact, however I'm still baffled as to why Dennison insists on running a North/South downhill back like him to outside over and over again.

Expand ....put yesterday aside for a moment....how the hell do we advertise Bflo as a "run first" team with ONE damn stallion in the stable?.....better thank God Shady is still healthy after game 13......he goes down and the glue factory comes in.....play this damn Cadet kid.......think Tolbert and Dimarco could carry the load if Shady is out?.....would mean depending on our prolific passing game....for years we always had a strong backfield with QB and TE spots being #1 & #2 in the areas most neglected......RB spot is creeping up to a virtual tie for #2 IMO.....yet we're a "run first" team......go figure..............

Expand Agreed. Fumble was bad, but it was on a great run. I don't know how in all these years in the league he still doesn't properly secure the ball. The outside runs, screen, etc. To Tolbert are most baffling. With both he and Cadet available for the first time next week (not counting this one on account of the weather) I am curious to see who gets what calls.

Expand Yeah, but not just in general, especially in a game like that one. Just a big, dumb galoot.
BuffaloRush Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 You know, Sal had a very good point on WGR. He said Tolbert should only be in on runs where he runs straight ahead. It seems like almost all of his carries are the same plays they call for Shady which are designed to let him bounce outside, or runs off tackle. Cadet is a much better fit for those types of runs. 1
26CornerBlitz Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Looking like a nice addition to the team thus far.

DiMarco is one of the best blocking FBs in the NFL. Did you see the block he put in yesterday to get Shady in the endzone?
Juice_32 Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Coming in he was touted at a 3rd down pass catcher. He has had very few carries to this point in his career. In fact, he's already doubled his career high for carries in a season this year. Let's keep him at RB2 and see how his ypc looks at the end of the year. He lools much more explosive as a runner than I expected. I don't know why anyone would write him off yet.

I think Nantz or Romo said during the game that he's been a healthy scratch for over a month now. I know he was injured earlier this year, but he's been good to go since November. Belichick recently said RB is one position they don't worry about, adding that they feel it's their deepest position. They usually roll with James White, Dion Lewis and Rex Burkhead. When Gillislee played, he wasn't any more productive than those three. I wonder if he regrets his decision to sign there now, haha. Also, saw Gilmore get beat for a TD yesterday, that was neat. He did his usual turn around and look at his teammates like, "Hey, not my bad guys, someone was supposed to help me." He also made a horrible attempt at tackling Bell. He did have a monster OL bearing down on him so he went low to avoid getting smushed but still, not the greatest effort you wanna put on tape.

Expand You had a whole brigade here saying that losing Gillislee was awful, terrible and that he couldn't be replaced. That seems to not be the case.

That seems to not be the case. Expand Yup. I said he'd be another backup RB they could replace and whose presence or absence wouldn't make a difference in the outcome of games.
