It appears now that both can be productive if healthy and given the touches. If one is significantly more banged up, starting the other is probably more safe than "sneaky" at this point.
I'd at least wait until you hear if Matthews practiced today. He only missed one practice and claims he will be ready to go full speed on Friday.'habsfan said:
I think tolbert definitely still has potential every game if healthy. If matthews does not practice in full, i would expect more snaps for tolbert. However, matthews seemed comfortable in the red zone last week which if it continues takes some of tolberts value away. matthews may also be stealing 3rd downs showing he can catch out of the backfield and block. I still think they use tolbert in short yardage and goaline. Look for the chargers to be run heavy this week given rivers may be nursing a bruised sternum and vjax also with abd injury, no gates. this will give both mattehws and tolbert more receptions. the situation in the nfl changes every week so i would not sell tolbert low, but matthews is definitely trending up while tolbert trending down. I would start tolbert more than a flex type RB this week.
It is only sneaky if it works. Otherwise it is foolish.
no practice no play
Agreed - sneaky<>risky. This is risky.
Am I to understand that you mean Friday? If so, then Tolbert's chances just got a substantial bump. If i you mean Thursday, then nothing as of now.
According to whom? Again, I watched him play Sunday and he looked fine to me.
So that's according to you? Lemme guess...Tolbert owner, not Mathews owner?no practice no play
how do you block/ignore members like this?
You just read my mind.I guess this makes the decision easy for those who have both. Though it's still only 11:30am in SD. Seems kind of early for that info.how do you block/ignore members like this?
all right then, he came back today, I'd heard from close sources that didn't see him there earlier. practice = play.
Maybe a bit of both, but IMO Mathews looked more explosive and like the better runner all three games. Last year really was one of the few years when Norv didn't use a one back system. I can't see Tolbert becoming marginalized to that point, but he may start to feature Mathews a bit more. Tolbert isn't going anywhere but Mathews' production may force him to receive more playing time.
curious why you didn't just say you were going on close sources... that at least would have made it sound like you weren't simply trolling.all right then, he came back today, I'd heard from close sources that didn't see him there earlier. practice = play.
