The Now Moment Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I think this has become obvious to some this year. A big back who can take some of the load off of Mccoy might extend his career and improve his efficiency. Tolbert is just a stop gap guy. This should be addressed in the offseason. I believe this is a bigger need than some people think it is. It'll keep Mccoy's legs fresh, plus this draft class is loaded with good backs.

YoloinOhio Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I agree. I keep hoping they trade for someone before the deadline. It was reported they were sniffing around for a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I absolutely agree. It is the one thing that would really help this offense be even better. Someone to properly spell Shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweats Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Wasn't Tolbert supposed to relieve the pressure on short yardage situations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Wasn't Tolbert supposed to relieve the pressure on short yardage situations?he is ok but in a run based offense having a real 1-2 punch would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA Grant Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 There must be some reason why they haven't that I'm not aware of, but I would think someone who'd make a ton of sense is DeAngelo Williams http://www.nfl.com/player/deangelowilliams/2495979/profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It would've been cool if we got Yeldon from Jacksonville for Dareus instead of a conditional pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Tolbert really hasnt been terrible. He is no McCoy and I definately wouldnt want Tolbert our number 1 if McCoy went down, but Tolbert has not been that bad of a change of pace back. He has picked up some key yardage. Just dont put him on sweeps or swing passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbills Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 A big back who can take some of the load off of Mccoy Isn't that was Tolbert is supposed to be? Albeit he's pretty average, I wouldn't even mind if Boobie Dixon was still around and it sucks what happened to Karlos Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Tolbert has been more than adequate in his role. I really don't get why everyone is stuck on the opinion that he needs to be upgraded. He's a 3-8 carry a game type guy. He can move a pile and punish tacklers. And by the way...he's very underrated as a pass catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaviorPeterman Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I agree. I keep hoping they trade for someone before the deadline. It was reported they were sniffing around for a RB. I hope this happens too this year. I have no issues with Tolbert, he's been ok playing the role of grizzled veteran behind McCoy but we need a true change of pace guy like we had with Gillesie and Carlos Williams. No reason we can't find somebody right now with a late round pick in a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA Grant Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I like Tolbert. I think everyone agrees -- Tolbert is good, but he's situational. If Shady is out multiple weeks, you don't want to rely on just Tolbert and DiMarco. Taiwan Jones looked good last week but they could use someone else at HB still, I think. Ideally next year we have rookies at QB2 and HB2 behind Tyrod and Shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
