A RB nobody has talked of much

Besides in this sentence, I am not going to reference Trent Richardson, and I would like everybody else to forget about him too. We have all talked about him too much, and it is getting ridiculous. I wanted to talk about Mike Tolbert, the 26 year old bowling ball free agent from San Diego. Everyone talks about the Bucs getting a speedy back who can compliment Blount, that is very well a good idea, one that I support. However, I would more likely go out and get one of the best pass blocking RB's in the league, as well as one of the best short yardage/goal line backs in the league at the same time. Blount may be big however we have all seen him fall short on far too many short yardage situations. Tolbert could fill that role, as well as mentor Blount on that role as well as catching and blocking out of the back field. Tolbert would not cost that much to bring in either, on top of that add a guy like James, Rainey, or Pead, later in the draft, we would have a rather nice backfield. Especially a guy like Rainey, a guy who can line up at WR, RB, and KR/PR, a very versatile back, and very versatile backfield.
