So #Patriots have a 304-pound tight end in Michael Williams. How long until the competition committee makes it illegal....?

Ben Volin

That's an example of why I don't hate Volin. I may look down on him. I may think that his employers should replace him ASAP, rather than give him yet more time to learn to be competent. But I don't hate him. He tries. He just doesn't succeed much.

Can anyone guess who our leading rusher is in this game? It will shock you.

Dobson will make the roster, on the sheer fact of him being a 2nd rounder. Really hard for the team to let go, even if he is inconsistent

Yeah, they didn't even cut Wilson a couple years ago when he was like the worst safety in the league.

Dobson will make the team but won't be anything more than a 4/5 WR

Im afraid it'll be based on LaFell...

If Bill can trade Devey, he can trade Dobson. I wonder if he'll try

Yeah, after Butler and Brown there really isn't much depth. I thought Ryan was going to step up this year but he has been horrible. I'm thinking Fletcher is our number 3 corner right now.

Ryan should hate himself because he had a shot to lockdown a starting job for a long time and screwed it up. He is by far my biggest disappointment.

Nice job posting that after the starters had been pulled and it was backups

He came on at the end of the year. He still is very average.

Probably Brady lol

This is basically a 2-min drill

Man, impressive as hell that Krause held onto that ball.

Targeting Dobson 0/4

15 yds????

I dunno if that was an underthrow by Garoppolo or Dobson failing to come back to the ball, but it was ugly.

Nice job by Krause

Boyce isn't here....seems like he's not gonna make the roster

Mark Daniels ‏@MarkDanielsPJ 43s44 seconds ago
Not here: Edelman, LaFell, Roberts, Cadet, Watson, DFletcher, Martin, Cannon,Wendell, Barker, Stork, Vellano, Josh Boyce, and Chris Jones.

That's a good inference. He's not going to have a chance to offset the negative accumulation of evidence, except insofar as they may offer him a PS spot yet again. (He's still PS-eligible, correct?)

Dopson got separation there.
