Twitter: Tolbert: I lost all my confidence in rookie year

[Proof]

My advice to him is make big circus like catches and score TDs, even w/o yards it might be enough to cement him in. Otherwise he is going to be the next Noah Brown, never quite good enough but ok.

excellent advice. i hope someone’s mentioned it to him.

i assume lining up offsides at a crucial time didn’t help matters. hope he puts it up

I think his problem is he's a little soft and timid. Not aggressive or physical. And I don't think that can really be coached into a player.

He was the big fish in a little pond. It's a real big jump from that level all the way to the nfl. A way more complicated offense

I can't wait to see all 7 of his catches.

If off-season hype was electricity, the Cowboys could power the globe.

True, but he should have been over that last year. And the punt problem isn't about any offense, just being careless and not paying attention.

We know he played like he wasn't ready, we saw that. Took the coaches a minute to see it too.

What’s up with all these no self-esteem #3s? Gallup and now Tolbert.

We know the idiot coaching staff is to blame for Tolbert's rookie season.

I'm just glad all that's behind him now.

I think he is a career WR3 who will be fighting tooth and nail with the other Jalen this year to get WR3 snaps.

He caught over 20 passes with limited snaps and targets. The only way he could have done more is if they would have benched Gallup.

Playing for a relatively small school at South Alabama, Tolbert wasn't especially well-prepared for his experience with pro ball and the Cowboys. The adjustments that he had to make were especially demanding for someone who evidently didn't get the best of preps for pro football. I'm hoping the upcoming season for him will be one that finds him making major improvements in his WR play with the Cowboys. He'll see some stiff competition from Brooks, no doubt.

This is the second off-season of making excuses. Either get it together or go somewhere else.

Hopefully, he will be capable and take advantage of opportunities because he still won't get that many of them.

I think the WR with the 2nd most receptions will actually have the 3rd or even 4th most receptions for the team.

I see a TE as having the 2nd most receptions and i believe that Zeke will become an important part of the passing game.

That actually happened last season. Ferguson was #2 and Pollard was #3, although by just one reception over Cooks. I don't really see Gallup's numbers added to Tolbert, I think they will be more evenly distributed.

However, I really don't see Lamb getting 181 targets either. If they didn't already know, the word is out on CeeDee, He will be mentioned more often in every opponent's defensive gameplan.

I think Ferguson could get 100 receptions. I could also easily see another TE in double digit receptions, something we didn't see last season.

With Tolbert, I'm looking at around 40 receptions.

I'm thinking, after Lamb and Ferguson, we will see a cluster of 3-4 players with 40-55 receptions.

Of course, staying in good health is key for all.

Tha is OK too, bloke.
I too had lost confidence in you and I still await seeing you to produce.

Add to this, airman, Dak's increasing reliance on Fergie as a security blanket. Fergie has mastered the art of catching errant passes.
