No chance they're better than Tolbert, although I think there's a good chance Holden jumps everybody else to make the team.
For Tolbert, it’s not about last year … it’s what have you done for me lately… and so far Tolbert has not had a very good camp ..I wouldn’t cement him into that 3-spot

I agree there is no chance. And frankly the way that Milton started the game gave our receivers zero chance to shine. He was missing open receivers early. He got better in the second half.

My problem with Tolbert is I keep waiting to see some RAC or explosion after catching the ball but I just see nothing. And last year he was very up and down. He'd all but disappear for a couple of games and then he'd have a good game.

I've never been a huge fan but Turpin right now might be our best bet at third receiver. His speed compliments Lamb and Pickens well. If either of the top two gets hurt he isn't a guy to run slants and over the middle stuff with because of his size but as your third receiver when you spread it out he is the only one with explosive ability of the "other receievers"

Tolbert is an example of that old coaching saying that, "If they don't bite when they're puppies, they aren't going to bite." He's just sort of tentative and doesn't have any aggressiveness to him. And if he doesn't by now he never will.

He runs like it is practice where guys don't hit on like every play.
