    quite good.
    I don't think Tolbert requires formation inflexibility, quite the opposite.

    Nakamura is listed as a starter, currently. I don't know that I like Godfrey in the slot, of the availble options, but they do need to play Godfrey off the ball more.

    yeah, I don't quite get that either

    seems Tolbert as an HB would be quite flexible

    Nice article, except for the Alexander Brown comparision.

    He does make note of Toberts flexibility. Think it has more to do with losing Shockey. Barnidge and Hartsock really nead to step up. Cant afford to lose Olson.

    Still wish wed pick him up again.

    Shock might still be out there. (edit - of course he's out there, but if we needed him).

    Chud did want to do a lot of 2 TE in the past, and the Tolbert bit makes a major change from that. I do, however, think manipulating formation with one back in motion, but the other still being able to feature? That's unique as hell.

    I tend to agree with the author. Tolbert is a flexible player, but he's not a tight end. His presence is also going to mean a lot more two back sets.

    Not really. New Orleans & Atlanta aren't going to start sucking, although it's possible to pass one or both of them if they get hit by key injuries. I expect Tampa Bay to be pretty competitive this season as well, so it's a tough division.
