The Patriots' coach offered encouraging words on the progress of second-round pick Aaron Dobson, who has 13 receptions over his last three games, doubling his total from the first four games of the season (he was inactive for the opener against Buffalo).
"I think you’re really seeing a good day-by-day consistency, on and off the field," Belichick said. "On the field, in the weight room, his conditioning, in the classroom, walkthroughs, all that. He’s focused and he just keeps improving. I think it’s a very steady incline. I don’t think it’s been one – obviously you can point to a couple plays – but I think his overall improvement has been very steady and consistent.
