We know what we get with Tolbert, let’s see what Flournoy can do with an opportunity
Never liked the Murray trade, he gives me Jaylon Smith vibes with his terrible instincts
Kneeland might be our best run defender, no issue playing Fowler in the nickel as he might be the team’s best pass rusher
I'm not necessarily opposed, but I do acknowledge that there could be reasons why we were willing to expose Flournoy to waivers. He simply may not run all his routes correctly or have some other technical issue that we don't know about.
Anyone on a 1 year deal, which is half our team, is only worried about their stats.
What is maddening about Tolbert’s play is that is it very inconsistent. Teams can get away with exposing a late day 3 pick, but they will bet on a talent from someone picked on day 2 more so.
I don't know. I think if the talent is there, teams do not expose them to waivers. Perrion Winfrey comes to mind. We did not need to keep an extra DT, but Winfrey's play warranted keeping him even though he wasn't even a late-round pick for us.
You could very well be right, we just don’t know how they view each player. This year, i don’t think there is going to be a huge need for 4 or 5 receivers where they appear to wanting to play more heavy sets. Unless an injury happens, probably going to see limited snaps.
The pass did go back to the middle of the field, so you may be right. In Eberflus' preferred coverage, the outside corner primarily has coverage responsibility to the outside while the safeties and linebackers are responsible if the receiver comes inside. If the safety bit and Elam saw that and stayed with the receiver anyway, that would be good recognition on his part.
It will be interesting to see how it progresses. If Tolbert remains as ineffective as he appeared to be Thursday, maybe Mingo gets a chance when he returns from injury.
I was down on him after he gave up contain on a few of those runs, but there's no indication that I've seen that he didn't do better after the lightning break. It may have been primarily due to the scheme tweaks that Eberflus made, but it also may have been pointed out to him that he can't make those inside moves against a mobile QB when he has contain. Players aren't always smart enough to understand what should be obvious.
Don't see it not with the injury he had, we will see.
the LB groups sucks. non athletic. out of position often. huge liability. I have been saying it all off season and a few argued its better than last year. no its not. we threw bodies at it. rejects from other teams. and now, they claim the saviour is going to be overshown....
You mean like Demarcus Lawrence types?!? lol
Yes, in the obvious run situations.
Our hope is that Eberflus was an successful linebacker asst coach before getting his promotion. Cowboys linebacker play got worse after he departed. 1 game doesn't mean they all suck.
I don't think you take Sanborn off the team you take Murray but I agree with most of that But yeah in different situations they're gonna move them in and out but for the most part yeah I like that but Sanders isn't gonna be inactive he'll just be RB 3 instead so I get it yes I agree now I don't think you sit Tolbert But maybe you get Flournoy or more involved..
