Toler "week To Week" [Merge]

[Smonroe]

It was on the StampedeBlue website.  He's been downgraded from day to day with his neck injury.

 

If he's going to miss time, the first five weeks of the season is the time to miss.  We're not exactly facing any HoF QBs during that time.

This is certainly not very good news either way though. 

 

Hoping for a speedy recovery!

DJoun Smith will have a chance to show what he's got

Here we go again, how many games did Toler miss in 2013 when he was "week to week"?

Neck injuries are tricky (as we all know).  "Week to Week" is never a good thing to hear.

 

In spite what people think about him, he's a decent CB.  Butler is better suited for the slot, so Brown and Smith will have to show up.

 

This may also change our roster decision.  I thought we'd keep 5 CBs, we may have to go with 6 now unless they IR him with a return designation.

"Week to Week" in Pagano-speak is never good.

Yea, I like Toler too, which might not be popular, but he seems like he's made of glass. Last season he played 15 games, and that was the most in any season of his career.

I'd say more of thin plastic. He's not had any super major injuries to my knowledge. Yet he seems to get the naggy ones.

[#BringBobBack]

Sheldon Price and Jalil Brown have both been very impressive to me this offseason this could give them both a chance to make the roster and help replace Toler while he's out can't do worse than Josh Gordy.

Hope he recovers soon but it does open the door for someone else to step up with more playing time. Tolers body just cant take the contact in my opinion. Of course I don't know the severity of it but it does seem to me mentally he just cant take the physical contact let alone physically

[COLTS449]

He should be fine by week 1. Lets hope he is anyways. I like Toler. He had probably his best year last year, but he gets hurt way too much. I was hoping for Sean Smith when we signed Toler and we'd be better off with Smith honestly.

hmm

That seems like major stretch

Yeah, I've always kind of wondered why he gets so much criticism, but my guess it's more injury than performance-related. I like him, he's a good fit in our scheme, and makes some ridiculous plays sometimes (his pick vs PHI last year was insane), just wish he could stay healthy.

[Gavin]

hmm

That seems like major stretch

Admittedly it might be a little stretch but by no means a major stretch. He did in fact say

 

"I want to be back out there helping my teammates,” Toler said. “Some dudes can play with their bodies being off a little. I can’t. The training staff told me they want me to be 100 percent before I go back out there.”

With our first five games against less than stellar QBs, there's time for him to get back to 100%. CB is a position that's really hard to hide an injury. If an opponent knows one isn't 100% they're going to go at him.

You can bet that when he comes back, he'll be the target. He already is targeted more since they shy away from Vontae. Safety help will be needed.

he was talking about a groin injury. You ever play football with a groin injury? I have. I understood what he was saying. People constantly take that quote and make stupid conclusions from it.

We really need Toler to be healthy this year. Smith and Brown leave me feeling uneasy.

Hell yeah, when healthy heʻs solid I remember when he was with the Cards man they had a damn good team but kinda reminded of the Colts because of the run game but they were better at stopping the run

[theanarchist]

This guy can't stay healthy. He always has some sort of nagging injury. Frustrating

Mods - Is there still a search option on the forum?  It may be me or my browser, but I can't find it anymore.

I don't know why, but for some reason I continue to act surprised that Toler got hurt again. 

[Chucklez]

He is always injured.... It is a real problem because if Vontae ever were to go down too we would have Butler as our best CB with a rookie in Djuon smith and someone like Price or Brown in as well.... Doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

We really need either a much stronger 3rd option or unfortunately we need to replace Toler sooner rather than later. Which is a shame because I really like his game when he is healthy... sadly that just isnt often at all.

[BrentMc11]

I think it is hard to have a neck injury with all of the preseason missed tackles....just sayin'.

I can see it.  Just think how fast you have to turn your head when they run by you!

Toler's gotta show out this season. He's an UFA at year's end. Can't see him missing games unless he's really hurt

I think he's solid when healthy. Nothing special. He seems to draw a lot of interference/holding calls too but I think he gets targeted more because teams can't throw on davis' side.

[Narcosys]

Same stuff different season, smh

[ColtsLegacy]

It's just a neck. Throw some dirt on it, wrap it up and send him out there.

[pgt_rob]

Throw a neck brace on and get out there.

I think he's a little above average, a good CB when healthy.  Definitely plays tight and deserves those PI calls.

 

I'd rather have my CB play like that than how they used to have guys like Tim Jennings play in the Tampa 2.  Ten yard cushion on 3rd and 7.  It would drive me crazy.  Jennings was a whipping boy here, and it was more because of the way they made him play.

I agree. Those tampa 2 cushions were tough to take.

He went to the Bears and they starting playing man coverage and all of a sudden he's a pro bowler getting picks and forcing fumbles.

[NewColtsFan]

Toler should rest the next two weeks.

 

He can get into or stay in game shape during practices.....    but as for games?      Sit them out.
