To me, it looked like Tolbert is almost there.

I'm really hoping we stay put on our WRs.

It's been a difficult start to the season with Dak out. With his injury, it's been difficult to gauge the offense's potential. But I think we've got enough guys to win between Lamb, Gallup, Brown, Fehoko, Tolbert, Washington, and Turpin.

I'm also really excited by our rookies.

At the end of the day, I think our draft was better than the Eagles as well as our UDFA draft class.

I wouldn’t include Tolbert lol
But it’s exactly what you need in the cap era
You need the young guys playing important roles and having success
It’s so important because they are cheap and it allows you to pay the vets you decide to keep

Bland
Clark
Williams
Turpin
Hendershot
Ferguson
M. Davis
Tyler Smith
Tolbert
The Cowboys draft and develop players the right way. The only bad players in the last 3 years are Wright, Joseph, and Gallimore. I think Tolbert will make a play or two before the end of season.

I believe Joseph will be a starter next season. Wright always was a reach and a project

This is why it is so important to draft well. They are salary cap friendly for the first 4 years that they are on the team. Contributing and not killing our salary cap!

well, the headline should not have read Major

many of those are simply playing a role. some playing solid roles ie hendershot, davis, and Clark, some important roles ie Bland, Furguson, williams, and Turpin.. major?? only Tyler smith IMO..umm not al of them very few.. Tolbert hasnt done anything yet

Headline should have been ,

all our rookies playing roles in this 6-2 start,

You think that being the 3rd receiver wasn't a role?

I have 1 less reception than Tolbert this season
So what, he still played as the number 3 yesterday. It has nothing to do with if they threw him a pass or not. They obviously wanted Gallup to catch some. No other contender is playing double digit rookies.

If we’re talking the season, your hard pressed to say Tolbert has played a major role. If we are talking the Bears game then Sam Williams shouldn’t be on the list (he didn’t play). I think it’s fair to say we’ve seen enough from all the others to think they’ll be good NFL contributors and for the most part starters. We haven’t seen that from Tolbert though he’s got plenty of time, it’s way too early to pass judgement.
