All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Why is Mike Tolbert on this team?

Why is this bum on this team? Jonathan Williams is light years better than him. I can't stand seeing that awful #35 in the backfield. He's very bad at the game of American football.

BS

You're not buying in when you remove both hands from the football, while crossing the goal line so to break your fall.

Tolbert is an acceptable back-up, as long as they don't run him wide too much. If his presence in the locker room helps the team gel, I'm ok with him having a spot on the roster.

That was a TD, the ball broke the plane before he lost control. Close, but still a TD. If that was New England the score would have stood.

I'd trade a late round pick for Rawls in SEA. He's a good RB that's getting buried in the depth chart there.

Re: Why is Mike Tolbert on this team?

Too many times he either has designed runs outside the tackle or he tries to bounce it outside. I like using him as a change of pace back to come in and thump it a few times a game, but would like to see Jones or Banyard get some touches at some point.

Remember Kevin Everett in your thoughts.

Re: Why is Mike Tolbert on this team?

I don't have any issues with Tolbert, he runs with authority and can occasionally catch besides evidently contributing leadership and character.

I'm not real sure at this point though why Banyard and Jones are here instead of Williams.

Was just going to post this. And he's on-pace for 8 TD's, which is what MG gave them last year.

Tolbert made one mistake and we're drilling him ?? The whole team didn't run but for a 2.3 average per yards, including kneeling.

He's kills this offense 100 times worse than your boy Tyrod. They should nickname him the offense killer. He's a damn fullback and shouldn't be running the ball as much as he is.

While that is true. He still runs for one yard gains almost every time he gets the ball.
