They don’t play alike…they aren’t the same size…..whoever compared them….very odd.Much understood not, on board this.

Just par for the course.They don’t play alike…they aren’t the same size…..whoever compared them….very odd.
That final WR spot is gonna go to who is smart enough to realize that spot is about STI like Johnson’s straight line sped. But let’s be honest. Nobody will make the 53 being signed now as I feel guys like Cropper and Durden will take the final spot
His baseball backing will be extremely useful catching one hop ground balls from 4You mean this scouting report?
Silky smooth athlete who has morphed into a monster over the last two seasons. Tolbert is a high-character prospect with skill elements that are dripping with NFL potential. He gave work to everyone he faced, including SEC cover corners at Tennessee. His three-sport background offers unique perspective to pull from at his position, and his route-running gives him a leg up in camp battles early on. His traits, talent and production should push him up the board, and dialing up the competitive spirit could turn him into a top-flight WR2.
Strengths
- Put together big games against the best opponents.
- Right at home against SEC cornerbacks (SEE: Tennessee game).
- Stellar 2021 production, including seven games of 100-plus yards.
- Shimmies feet and shakes press jam.
- Fights through grabby coverage.
- Routes are gliding and smooth.
- Stick-shift route runner with excellent change of speeds.
- Powerful pre-break burst fools the coverage.
- Sinks hips for quick, sharp turns.
- High school baseball player with natural tracking talent.
- Frames up his defender and imposes his will on the high-point.
I do agree.Harry was a major bust. In four seasons he’s only put up 64 catches for 714 yards and 5 TDs. That amounts to a decent season. Can’t possibly see him making the team.
Absolutely. You pretty much are going into it with 4, possibly 5 locks (Lamb, Gallup, Cooks, Tolbert, Turpin). I believe Cropper or Durden make the 53 and beating out Simi.That final WR spot is gonna go to who is smart enough to realize that spot is about ST
Brown made a nice career out of being a ST guy
how many RBs would you expect them to have? Pollard, Deuce Jones... people are over looking Jones, the guy is clearly a serviceable back.Interesting how we can’t seem to get enough WR’s but are short on RB’s.
Has been an upset, seeing if you all think he can maybe make the practice squad
Almost got a like for that. But Im trying to stay off the bash Dak bus.His baseball backing will be extremely useful catching one hop ground balls from 4
Simi seems to be coming out strong.Absolutely. You pretty much are going into it with 4, possibly 5 locks (Lamb, Gallup, Cooks, Tolbert, Turpin). I believe Cropper or Durden make the 53 and beating out Simi.
I’d expect more than 2. Especially with one a 6th round pick. And the starter who hasn’t carried the entire load coming off an injury. I’m glad you don’t have any concerns. .how many RBs would you expect them to have? Pollard, Deuce Jones... people are over looking Jones, the guy is clearly a serviceable back.
Brooks is a great practice squad candidate. He will benefit from a year or two learning the game. I watched him at SC but he is very very raw and had limited production.Simi seems to be coming out strong.
And lets not sleep on the rook Brooks.
Yes, he ran a poor 40 at the combine. But he did run a 4.53 at his pro day. He has long arms and good size. Hard worker. Smart. Very good character.
Durden is interesting as well. Similar in size to Brooks but a little faster. But went undrafted.
Cropper and Turpin are the same players. Only need one of them.
And Houston has a year under his belt.
Brooks may end up on the PS.Brooks is a great practice squad candidate. He will benefit from a year or two learning the game. I watched him at SC but he is very very raw and had limited production.
Simi will likely get one more year because he’s still cheap and can fly.
The question is there will be 3-4 guys for one-two spots. Who will they able to sneak on the PS
I have ZERO concerns. The starter coming off an injury that is already completely healed... just listen to him. Pollard said he is now faster than before....lolI’d expect more than 2. Especially with one a 6th round pick. And the starter who hasn’t carried the entire load coming off an injury. I’m glad you don’t have any concerns. .
Yeah, I remember scouting reports saying he was pro ready. Not sure where people got that Tolbert cant get separation.Interesting:
His ability to find separation down the field and find an opening in the defense is what stands out the most though, since 2019, no other receiver in FBS had more catches of 15 or more yards than Tolbert. He was able to record 77 which was most among FBS wideouts.
Tolbert is a silky smooth athlete with the ability to create at all three levels with easy separation skills. He is a fluid route-runner showing good movement skills at the top of his routes to separate late, or early off the line with quality release skills.
Tolbert has excellent twitch and suddenness off the line. He can stack crisp feet motions to earn early separation, employing short bursts of energy in rapid succession.
Routes & Separation – Uses outstanding suddenness and sharpness to his route breaks. He has very good speed to not only maintain separation but gain separation after the break. Tolbert runs routes with precision and quickness.
Sorry, I still have some concerns for the reasons I’ve already provided . We shall see.I have ZERO concerns. The starter coming off an injury that is already completely healed... just listen to him. Pollard said he is now faster than before....lol
Malik Davis looked good when he played last year.
Ronald Jones is a decent vet that is young
Deuce... im reading he is heading to the HOF after OTAs.
They have another on the roster... but who do you possibly want to bring in that would HELP the RBs be better? Unless you are bringing in Derrick Henry or Dalvin Cook what is the point? Dont you remember?? RBs are a dime a dozen.. just draft one on the 4th rd and you are good to go.
He had damn good separation on Sundays... he was nowhere near a uniform each week.Yeah, I remember scouting reports saying he was pro ready. Not sure where people got that Tolbert cant get separation.
Given that he played at a small school, online game cutups being gone now the Bannon case is settled, and his athletic metrics, it seems more likely you never watched him play in college.He couldn't separate in college. I never could understand the draft ranking of this guy. Bringing him in is a waste of time. Why bother spending time confirming what should already be known?
