Literally had to see him play in game action twice to determine if he was NFL material.

Someone let the front office know that's what preseason and training camp is for :facepalm:
That was my thing about the player is that he was chosen to be part of our regular WR rotation during Gallup’s absence and did not impress in exhibitions really.

Rush looked like hot garbage in preseason, but looked serviceable in the real game, so maybe they figured they'd give Houston a shot, since we were short on receivers anyway.

Tolbert may have shown up in practices
Tolbert better start pushing for some special teams play right now...to get on the field and suited for games. The game for him right now, is purely plays on the field.

That was quick. Won't be surprised to see him end up on the practice squad.


not shock i mean ridgeway and Houston are 53 roster caustlys not enough tto keep them and ridgeway gets new team quickly ie WASH ugh, i sure hope he doesn't turn out to be great lol.

this is going to happen as more guys come back these fringe guys will get chopped to make room for some others coming off IR.

More a move knowing Gallups coming back but maybe Tolbert gets shot. Washington maybe game 5 so he better get it going.

He was a third rounder and not even being suited up for the past two games...asked to learn too much for three receiver positions?

When was the first time you heard that for this offense? It's literally his job to learn the offense, and I've never heard any other WR struggling with this to where they couldn't suit up.

Im not sweating it took Austin 2+ years of no stats before he jumped in with great numbers, he will get his turn im sure, im hoping hes a gamer vs a practice guy, once in maybe he shines.

Do some thinking maybe, smart guy...he didn't make a bunch of really special plays in camp. He had some early on injury, yet with opportunity now in full blown presence, he isn't receiving his own movement papers and called to make formation. What, you waiting for the liquor store guy to cough and let loose the observation?

Dallas Official Site had comments that expanded upon this on a tape, or are you waiting for the Queens Funeral Parade to make it by your street as well?

Waiting for a silver spoon...or to earn his opportunities?

How can you be that far off in your talent evaluation??
Aren't these moves kind of standard procedure? Why is that the first thing you think about? Because you know SO much about how it works and what's going on in this case?
