OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) ...so far...."vet presence....locker room guy....fits Daboll's cloning of Pats' offense.....good blocker....etc...."......if memory serves me, Tolbert was a "vet presence....locker room guy" who was eventually released.....how precisely does he fit Daboll's "cloned Pats offense"?......isn't the "blocking back" issue somewhat resolved with "Frank The Tank"?.....guy is a beast STILL......so how exactly is DiMarco a critical fit?.....hasn't his play been essentially limited to say the least?.....what is the gainful return on committing a roster spot to him?...just curious....

And, come on, you going to ignore the Pats and Chiefs, the two offenses with the most sustained success in the NFL? Do they also drive horse and buggies? And they do it without a FB, as does nearly every team in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From everything I read and see he isn't a good blocker (not bad but not great) and he isn't a dynamic reviving option or high end short yardage runner either. He makes good money for his position and I don't see anything he does that can't be replaced for much cheaper. 2 hours ago, Buffalo716 said: Are you paying his salary? He is a special teams captain and over half the league still keeps a FB You can't justify his hit on the cap by how he plays on offense. He must be a dominant special teams cog in order to justify his salary. 85% of the time he isn't on the field for offense and in that 15% of the time he is, he hardly executes any role particularly well. So if he is a dynamic special teams player who does a lot of the dirty work I understand him being on the roster. But the value he brings to the offense is uber limited.

Every FB besides Kyle Jusczyk offers Uber limited ability But most of the league Carry's one because they are needed Their aren't 10 FBs in the league Better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
