I mean when you think about it he was raw when they got him….rookie year was a red shirt year, second year has a decent season, third year gets hurt….just hasn’t had a chance that injury last year hurt him. And it’s a new staff….
He was in Quinn's dog house and pretty much became a special teams player. Clean slate, but last yr to make an impact. It is telling the team drafted back to back 2nd rd edge players with Sam already on the roster.
Yeah but there’s enough room for all and let’s remember they haven’t signed Micah yet. Sam just gotta put it together and a good camp and preseason is a good start.
Tolbert is going nowhere.
He will be given an opportunity to succeed, but there are a lot of numbers already at the position, where they may not be able to keep more then 4. Parsons, Fowler, Kneeland, Turner, Sam, Wheat.
Agree 100%.......they want some return for that 4th round pick.
They did give up a good pick for him, but he is just not a good football player. He even regressed in year two. I could see them forcing him in if we were looking at a 7 to 8 win year, but we have a high ceiling now. Mingo ia going to have a hard time even getting snaps in 4 WR packages. Tolbert is not a world beater, but he has show he can at least be somewhat productive. As a #3 WR, he might even wind up being an efficient player. I just dont see anyway anyone below him makes Tolbert expendable
What job? #3? Thats not going to be a competition. Tolbert is significantly better than him. They arent playing Mingo over him just because they traded a 4th. Mingo will have a hard time getting on the field in 4 WR packages with Turpin around.
I have zero faith in that unit staying health all year.
Depth is important, but they have to cover themselves for all positions.
I think Tolbert is fine as a #3 but was miscasted as a 2.
Of course. They have good depth IMO. Problem is some starters I don’t know if they should be starting.
Campbell has shown to be a decent possession slot in the past. The year he had decent targets he caught almost 75% of them. 80% coming out of the slot. He could be a good #4 platoon mate for Turpin. I think thats what Mingo is competing for. And if he grows, he could be the #3 when Tolbert leaves
Sam Williams is still on his rookie deal. He isn't getting cut. And he isn't getting traded either. Coming off his injury he has no real value.
We should work out White, McMillan and Mosley - but we won’t.
Cunningham and Vigil
