It was just Rush, he has all kinds of mojo chemistry with Prescott.

You'll see.

I dunno man, I have never been impressed with the kid.

He reminds me of Patrick Crayton.
Tolbert has way more natural athleticism/physical ability than Crayton. Bigger, faster, more of a vertical threat.

He may only max out as a good number 3 like Crayton but he has the potential to be way more. He's almost identical to Gallup physically, he just needs to become a better route runner.

I'm going to ignore his jittery hands against the Broncos since that hasn't really been an issue for him in college or seemingly in camp.

I'm afraid it's going to be a lot of dink and dunk to try to smoke and mirrors the lack of talent.
I think there will be a lot of passes to backs out of the backfield, and that's okay. As long as they mix up the schemes enough to confuse the defense, I would have Pollard and Zeke on the field together a lot.

That's what we should do. Coaching 101... put your best players on the field. Is Pollard a better player than Tolbert or Brown? Yes.

But do you have confidence we'll do that? Sadly, no. I bet we still see plenty of 3 WR sets.

3 WR sets without Gallup as a main scheme would be a huge mistake.
