I've been on leave now for the past week which is the reason for all of my posts, I am bored. But I want to know people's take on Aaron Dobson, the rookie WR and what his role will be in the offense.
My take is that what they need Dobson to do is to be a halfway credible X receiver.
As such, as much as everyone talks about how "complicated" the offense is, I think they can dumb down his routes a bit
Brady has an incentive to give him those opportunities just so long as he can create distance in coverage and get his hands on the ball (and that's on Brady too)
If he can show a bit during pre-season I think Defenses may give him the benefit of the doubt and help stretch the field initially out of caution - but ultimately he'll have to prove he's a deep threat.
Since they don't go deep on every play (far from it - nor should they) the real trick will be to see if Dobson can get in sync with Brady in the short game. It'd be a shame to have a guy on the field who is a one trick pony - but at this point, we need that one trick!
