I think McD decided long ago he wanted Tolbert's "character and leadership" on the team, regardless of who had to be cut.
But now that the team has jelled and we have a season here, maybe that will be rethought.
Good news. I'm as frustrated with Dareus as anyone but also amazed at how many here freely conflate his past character/emotional issues with his current injury. What if he was just hurt? Or is he no longer allowed that possibility?
The Bills to this point have offered Dareus a lot of soft love, but it looks like McD is moving toward tougher love and I like it.
I think McD is seeing early signs that his program is working and is trying to use the momentum to bring Dareus along. I'm sure Kyle's part of the plan too.
