So that is not necessarily a bad thing.during the World Cup there was no suitable substitute to Jedi. If Tolkin can play that role or even, push Jedi and himself, then it is a win win for the US National Team. IDK about most folks but depending on Dest to be both the starting RB and backup LB is a recipe for failure.

Oh yeah, I meant it as a good thing. There is very limited depth at both outside back positions, and its nice to be able to switch players without changing the whole teams gameplan.... Tolkin feels more plug and play with Robinson than other LB options.

I actually can't wait to see him play for the USMNT. he needs more experience against better competition. i think we will see him level up his play as a result.

Nothing wrong with that, especially if JT scores the final goal when we win an MLS Cup.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

There was a whole lot of confidence around here that he and Morgan would be gone THIS winter.

Big difference between a 25/26 year old winger and a 20 year old LB and NT player. Unless his stock drops off hes going to have plenty of suitors and want to move to a higher level.
