Dobson's mojo:
• Dobson was outstanding this week; he was targeted 10 times for 7 receptions and 52 yards and multiple key first downs. Of the 3 targets he did not catch I would say 2 of them were on Brady more than him. I know there were concerns about Dobson in the preseason but in his reps with Brady he was solid, and he did struggle in his first game but that could have been rookie nerves combined with playing in a hail storm. Dobson is the player that can make the biggest impact of all the rookies on offense, I know many have fallen under the Thompkins spell but although I consider Thompkins to be a nice player especially for an UDFA he cannot be the difference maker and playmaker that Dobson can be in my opinion.
Bolden’s return:
• Bolden’s return this week was huge, this offense is a different animal with a back that is capable of running and receiving, Bolden gave us that today, he had 3 rushes for 51 yards and 5 receptions for 59 yards. A 100 all-purpose yards on 8 touches is huge, this is one reason I laughed at those who considered Bolden a bubble player in the preseason, this kid is just scratching the surface; I look forward to seeing what he can do with Vereen out.
C. Jones rising:
• Jones has been spectacular this season, watching him toggle between 34 DE (5 technique), 43 DE (6, 7 and 9 technique) and 43 DT (3 technique) on every series is really something special to watch, he is quickly rising up to be the type of all-purpose outside/inside threat like a JJ Watt, it is clear Belichick had a vision when he drafted C. Jones and watching it cultivate is something I am really enjoying.
