Rightside. I watched him a bunch got in the backfield a few times one run play stood out too he totally blew it up.Wonder if Long is on the left or right.
Could you make it public, please?
Duh! You can tell I only do this once a year. Video should be public now.
I'd guess they are seeing what the new guy brings. Kline is a known quantity.
I think Hogan is really going to fit this offense like a glove. Can't wait to see him in preseason.
Dobson - well, he's killed it in practice before and has great physical tools, but he needs to do it on the field. If he can, he will be an excellent addition to the squad.
I'm a little less concerned about the state of the WRs considering this offense will probably run through Gronk & Bennett first and foremost, but having a healthy and productive Edelman, Amendola, Hogan, Dobson and Dion will just be a complete nightmare for opposing defenses.
A good reason to take a close look at the new talent.Yes, and that quantity is not very good
That's what I was hoping to have answered.

So now the "Dobson mythology" has grown to include "great camps and then disappearing in the season" complaint. People completely have forgotten his very good rookie year and all the injuries that have plagued him after.Always concerned about Dobson though as he seems like he has great camps every year and then disappears once the regular season starts.
I think a lot of the negativity stems from him being a pretty big disappointment to this point as a second rounder, and the fact that most highly-drafted receivers seem to never make it in NE makes the negativity against each new potential wash-out compound. People don't necessarily hate Dobson as much as they hate being disappointed by the receivers being drafted - this is a cumulative thing and Dobson is the current one so he gets the flames.So now the "Dobson mythology" has grown to include "great camps and then disappearing in the season" complaint.

I have no complaint with those that have criticised his play, even those who ***** about him being injured so often. What bothers me is the seeming joy those haters get in saying anything negative about a kid who seems to be trying VERY hard to get his career together. It may never happen (at least with the Patriots), but the gratuitous negativity seems out of bounds.....at least to me
By "hit on it," you mean stay healthy?I think a lot of the negativity stems from him being a pretty big disappointment to this point as a second rounder, and the fact that most highly-drafted receivers seem to never make it in NE makes the negativity against each new potential wash-out compound. People don't necessarily hate Dobson as much as they hate being disappointed by the receivers being drafted - this is a cumulative thing and Dobson is the current one so he gets the flames.
However, people do need to separate the fact that while there haven't been many success stories for receivers drafted here (Edelman being the lone shining star from the 7th round that I can think of), each WR is their own person and Dobson still has his shot to flip the switch and make it. While I don't expect him to make it at this point, I will be overjoyed if he does so - I love his potential. He just needs to hit on it.
Is that really that hard to do, though?
OT: Over in Denver..

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 3 times, and Dobson something, something....
