Dobson whom I think has special talent is beginning to concern us. Will this linger or return? Will something else pop up. I'm beginni g to think maybe make a move for another WR complete talent. Like Denarius Moore who we can get for a round4-6. Or Brian Quick who has size/speed/talent. Just no QB. Dobson showed serious ability to get open and a Josh Gordon style second gear Deep. Denarius Moore has shown serious talent on a $hitty team and we can get him dirt cheap. Remember draft steals.
Quick I like MAYBE A TOUCH MORE due to his near 6'4 220 lb frame but he could cost us a #2 or 3. But I love his skillset. He to shows explosive early burst 1.47 10 yard split at his size. A second gear beyond his 4.50 40. And great in air athleticism. A QB/coach/system/work ethic could thrust his breakout. Just thoughts for now let's hope we have our 6'3 216 lb 4.37 guy with big time ball skills to play our X spot.
I'm worried for Dobson because I don't care for Lafell at all. He was outplayed by Ginn and Carolina never cared much for his potential. And he knew that. Its the reason he badmouths them. Carolina had hopes for David Gettis as their future impact WR. They were open on the fact they got a WR in round6 better than the one in Round3. Before Gettis got serious injury,he was their Dobson. The WR they knew had talent to potentially step up for them and they were open about it. They never thought Lafell had the talent to blossom into a consistent playmaker. I have no idea what Bill saw in him. He isn't that big to have huge size advantage at 6'2 210. He never had speed/athleticism to supplement his good not great size. Carolina always saw that,why didn't Bill. I hope Dobson is playing by end of preseason. Dobson/KT finally gives us a Z X tandem to make plays and strike fear in DBs and open things up even more for Edelman/Boyce in the slot and Gronk at medium range who is a deep threat was well due to his size.
Actually if everybody is healthy and we bring in Finley to reboot 2 TE sets this could be our best offense ever. Including 2007 because this one is more balanced and can strike from more angles. Our speed now can also go over the middle. Our 2 TEs Gronk/Finley would be far superior to any TE we had then. This team would also have better red zone talent. 2 big physical athletic TEs who can also block like XTRA OTs inside the red zone as well catch. We have a quick slashing power back in Ridley and 2 RBs who can run routes and catch like slot WRs with great quickness. Also a 6'3 and 6'1 WRs who can win in the red zone with leaping athleticism or quick breaks or both at same time. If our WRs stay healthy and play to their talent and we make a move for a second tall physical athletic pass catching TE like Finley and this offense can dust 2007. With Balance/versatility/size,speed/ arsenal of weapons that a defense couldn't possibly anticipate what's coming and defend.
X Dobson( top flight playmaking speed/athleticism/talent/can win over middle)
Z KT ( his cousin and pro bowl corner state his rare route speed/quickness)
Slot (Edelman is great there,Boyce occasionally adds dynamic edge, rare slot speed)
TE Gronk/Finley(2 big athletic WRs/deep threats due to size/block like having XTRA OT)
RB Vereen/White both quick and great passcatchers and good stout blockers for 210 lbs. They are fast elusive runners with underrated power. Both can block a LB like fullbacks almost and mismatches when passcatchers.
