Aaron Dobson

[JMC00]

Wonder why? Because maybe he had time and a deep threat? Seriously, Tom can only be as effective as the line. Even last years line would be an upgrade over this one so far

Well he had time on Monday at times yet they decided to have 5 RB and 3 WR active. While the two deep threats were in street clothes. And it was really 2 WR because Amendola is basically useless right now.

I want Dobson, KT, LaFell and Edelperson receiving, the two TE's used and Ridley running between the gaps. Basic straight ahead power football. Stick to it. No delayed draws that the entire universe sees coming pre-snap.

Seriously.

Here's a suggestion for Josh, Dobson at the X. KT, Edelman, or LaFell at the Z. LaFell, Edelman or Wright at the Y. Gronk in, Ridley in

Absolutely terrible we haven't seen that even for one snap this season and we are heading into week 5

Josh McDaniels suspended your fandom for a week.

by not playing your best players? LOL

Yeah, unnecessarily removing your best players lowers your chances of winning a Superbowl.

And necessarily?

What pretenses qualify as necessarily?

If I have to define that, along with what constitutes "success" for a football organization you are simply not worth my time, off to "ignore" with you.

so basically you can't answer...run along to ignore land.....you have nothing to offer anyway

Just saw this. Probably not going to be much other than "what's best for the team."

Erik Scalavino @E_Scal
#Patriots Belichick was asked directly about Dobson-McDaniels incident, replied, "I'll have a comment on that later."

Also:

Mark Daniels @MarkDanielsPJ
Belichick said there was no incident between Aaron Dobson and Josh McDaniels

 

[Sciz]

Belichick said no fight between McDaniels/Dobson, and he'll have a comment on that later. Must be serious if he's actually going to say something of substance.

#Patriots Bill Belichick says WR Aaron Dobson benched for "football" not disciplinary reasons the past two weeks.

Certainly a little out of character for Bill.

We seem to have had more leaks than usual this year. Although it wouldn't be "announced" I wonder if this latest leak was there to find the leaker. Very likely not but something weird seems to be going on.

 

[New England Pride]

Bill is going to comment on this? I thought he was onto Cincinnati.

Dobson playing or not could have an impact on the CIN game.

He couldn't have been any worse than Amendola. Amendola has set the bar really low.

Does he mean later today or before the game?

 

[dales804]

It doesn't specify but I'm assuming today at some point.

More leaks than usual, a big one was about the change at OL...until recently the Jets leaked news like a sieve.

Hmm...

I kinda thought a two game deactivation for talking back was odd. I am glad Belichick didn't leave Dobson or McDaniels hanging in the wind for a BS story.

I still maintain that he is still not probably back at 100% speed and planting ability from the injury. Gronk can play being less than 100%. Vollmer can play being less than 100%. But a fast outside receiver that is struggling to get his burst back and cutting abilities may not.

I wish he was active to let play through it a bit, but that ain't my call.

I still think anyone who thinks it is because he sucks is way off base because he was the Pats' second best WR last year and probably is today. No way would they give up on him so quickly after a promising rookie season.

 

[Mack Herron]

He couldn't have been any worse than Amendola. Amendola has set the bar really low.

In Bills view, evidently, Amendola was > Dobson or Thompkins (not to mention Boyce). Hopefully they can all improve, but no denying the talent has been disappointing.

 

[Rob0729]

Now they are speculating on 98.5 that Dobson is getting cut because Belichick will be "commenting on that later". Really?!? A second round pick who had a fairly good rookie season being cut four games into his second year.

The only way I can see any bombshell with Dobson today is if the Pats pull off a significant trade with him part of the deal. Although I don't see that either.
