Howe: Danny seems good to go vs. Denver

Angelpats said:

I really thought dobson would finally break through after his bobbling but difficult catch last night but then he had to be help off the field. Real tough break I want him to succeed and help our team, even though I think he's not ambitious or hungry enough , or simpler terms "suck".

That is just it, he makes a spectacular catch every now and again, but its never consistent
. I just about gave up on him, If it werent for the injuries, i would have
i think i would rather have "cement hands" Thompkins at this point. I know, hes with the jests, but still

His production is very underwhelming, no doubt. But (A) he is a known commodity for Brady. Those type receivers are, or at least were, looking potentially few. It is better if he is available for Denver. (B) It's harsh to call Dobson out right now when he laid it out and got injured to make a very difficult catch (and a time when the Patriots needed it).
Give him his due this particular time. IMHO he earned it. There will likely be, unfortunately, plenty of time to point out his on going conspicuous lack of production.

A short week will help Danny out. Rest that knee and keep the ice on it.

DA is helped out by less time for his injury to heal?? Damn, DA must have been chomping at the bit to play the very next day after he tore his groin two years ago

I hope Harper gets some reps, on the Int he played good d knocking the ball away from the defender bad break having the deflection bounce to Gilmore. I like the kid.

He played well on both special teams and as a WR in camp, he did a good job w opportunities this week.

Except I think his style of play fits with the Pats offense more than Dobson and Thompkins

Dobson was suppose to he the stretch the field/take the top off , type of receiver for tom.

Glad to hear it, but I'm not counting this chicken until it is hatched and active Sunday night.

If this is true, awesome...but in the words of a former NFL receiver... "Ice up Son!"

great news!
we should beat denver...as long as the o-line has an average game.

find it hard to believe that osweller will defeat belichick! #kisstherings

Must be the voodoo magic of homeopathy, where less drug/more dilution means more potency.

Less is more, and nothing is everything! Thus maybe no recovery time at all is best!

Buy my sugar pills NOW!

I would rather he rest it more.

Too important of a game. We win this and we can turn on cruise control for the rest of the season.

If there's a higher chance of further damage I'd rather see him rest up for a week. We are going to need him down the stretch with edes down til the playoffs roll around.

Plus, it's a hat and t shirt game. BB wins those games even if he's fielding an active 43 made up of the guys on this board. Just sayin'...

dobson is a child… he needs to man the F up, fast.

hes had opportunities handed to him on a silver platter this year with edelman and lafells injuries, and he hasn't taken the chances he's been given.

I'm pleased -- but worried about the next injury.

Amendola has many virtues, but durability isn't one of them.

Pretty harsh calling him a child, you don't choose to get injured. Besides, if he were a child he'd be less prone to injuries.
