News: DC: Tolbert's 2023 Goal: "Show Why I Got Drafted"

[atlantacowboy]

The fact he couldn't win a job given last years wr core that had us dumpster diving at the end doesn't bode well. I give him one more camp to impress then cut our losses. I certainly hope the plan isn't to assume his improvement.

"Show Why I Got Drafted".........That would be nice!​

 

[DCBoysfan]

I’m hopeful he improves in year 2. Some players take more time to get accumulated to the NFL.

I had a dream we traded back for Amari. It was a dream.

Never going to happen, I think Dak has a no Amari clause in his contract.

Jalen Has much he can do. Its way premature to call him a bust. Lets see what he does year 2. Then 3. U just never know. Sometimes the light comes on when we least expect it. Look at Dalton Schultz. I think it was year 3 or 4 with him. Then he went nuts. NOBODY expected it. We need patience with him.

Hes a bust. If he couldnt see the field last year with the bums at wr this kid has zero shot

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Young Tolbert already learning from his QB the fine art of apologizing.

Must be Dak's otherwise invisible 'leadership' that his supporters like to mention.

 

[BermyStar]

That's what your rookie year is for.

I thought the same lol. But hey hope he shows out!

 

[JoeKing]

If Tolbert was capable of showing why he got drafted he would have done it in 2022. Instead, he is known for lining up offsides.

I don't think Wright can fix what's broken. He just doesn't have the ability to get in and out of breaks with receivers quickly.

I think we have a better chance of the lightbulb going on with Joseph, who has the physical skills to be a top cornerback but lacks the football IQ. If we can get him to understand his responsibility when he's out there (and not line up outside when he has not defender to his inside or not jump a route when he has no help behind him), he could be pretty good. At least he's good on special teams right now, when he's not making boneheaded mistakes, so that gives him some value.

Wright's OK on special teams (nothing special) but I don't think he can change himself physically to be able to flip his hips faster or not be handicapped by his length, so I don't think he'll make it out of the preseason when he'll likely get roasted again.

I see what they saw in Wright , his height , he jumped a route this year had a nice pick but for every play he makes he gets nabbed by the stripes for defensive holding or hands to the face . Penalties a DB makes when he’s out of position and panic sets in.

Who dis? Don't be a 7 year Noah Brown

 

[Pass2Run]

I’m hopeful he improves in year 2. Some players take more time to get accumulated to the NFL.

So, he's going to accumulate his acclimation to the NFL?

 

[RonWashington]

As far as Tolbert i see his future in the NFL as a Randall Cobb Cole Beasley type Dak finds 15/20 yards down field in the slot . Not a TY Hilton stretch the D play maker . Slot reliability not to be minimized in importance .

 

[RonWashington]

Why people Dis a cap friendly reliable receiver who contributes to the ST Noah Brown is beyond me . It’s as if the casual fan doesn’t recognize what goes into dressing 47 on game day . Same with Dorrance Armstrong . Dude had a solid year opposite Tank .

They saw a Richard Sherman starter kit, but Wright doesn't have the body control or physicality of Sherman.

 

[CWR]

If he is a slow learner I'm sure having to learn another new system won't be super great for him.

Honestly, I'm not going to slam the kid yet, but I have zero expectations. Last season was the perfect time to step in and he never came close.

If he ends up surprising It'll be a happy bonus in my mind.

It's like drafting based on height instead of talent may not be the wise decision.

 

[Beast_from_East]

who the crap is this Tolbert guy. I don't remember seeing him play or get drafted.

3rd round pick.............88 overall...............WR from South Alabama............had 2 catches his rookie year for like 12 yards.

Its too early to call him a total bust pick, but its not looking good.

 

[DanA]

His goal should be to make the roster because that’s not a given. The way his first season went he could very well get cut.

 

[noshame]

Give him time, he has to learn to leap 10 ft high and catch the ball behind his back.

 

[losersgetcute]

CPT - just looked at his stats.
Did the the quality of competition in the Sunbelt Conference inflate his ability to the Cowboys scouting dept/FO...or is Tolbert a true talent that can be a good WR in the NFL with coaching and dedication to improve?
Him -- along with Simi Fehoko -- really need to step up and contribute.

Both of these guys have the potential to be a weapon in the right scheme. I'd like to see what happens if they have these guys on the outside and Lamb and Hilton in the slot with Turpin motioning out of the backfield to make it 5 wide empty. It might force some timeouts if they burn someone once for 6.
