It seems pretty logical that Mitchell would force Dorsett back into a limited snap count, where he was prior to the Hogan injury.Because MM wouldnt play over Dorsett, but over Hogan or Dola.
Some route concepts need a speedy go player who is a low percentage decoy that takes a DB out of the area that you are really trying to target. You can use Cooks on that but it seems to me like they are still trying to get him on some of those AB-esque slant routes or WR screens so Dorsett is the logical choice to do that.
MM would give both Hogan and Dola more of a rest than anything else.
EDIT: I realize now you were referring to Hogan, but it doesn't change how I feel. Cooks is ahead of him too. He's doing more long ball damage than any other WR in the league this year.
"Who Are These Guys?" true confession: When people pointed out Trevor Reilly in the rewatch threads, I thought they had a typo or something.
No need titles was GREAT and selfexplanatory.
Not to quibble with a great read, as always Ken, but did you remember what you had just written in the preceding paragraph when you went all Homer on how great the offense was.
I mean the first FG set a FRANCHISE DISTANCE RECORD! And the second one wasn't such a gimme distance in a NORMAL stadium either. At sea level, BB didn't send Ghost out several times at that distance and never would have done 62.
He can share snaps with dola. Hogan and cooks will be our outside guys. The guy was big last year and he already has that feel with brady. I am sure TB would love to have him back.
I dont give a **** what TB wants. I care what is more important for the team and having additional help on the DL seems a better investment than yet another offensive option to the point where two have to be inactive each game. If MM is closer to return health wise than VV then so be it but if odds are the same then having VV seems like the better team building option.
That's been my feeling all a long but after Hogan went out it made me reconsider but knowing that Hogan will be back eventually I would really prefer VV for the DL depth..

Point taken but Dorsett ain't beating his guy I don't think a Safety is shading his area.
BB let Rodney freelance. Several all pro LBs, including one LT, were allowed to freelance. I think you just aren't allowed UNTIL YOU EARNED IT (trust). So that is the question, is MB at that level. Based on early season BB veiled public critiques, you would say not. But he always has the SB winning INT-those are some chops!, . . . so maybe he gets half leeway.
Where do you get that Rodney freelanced with the Patriots?
Who will be the next QB to lose to Tom in the Super Bowl?
No URL/quote to give you. Remembered it, i thought/still think correctly, as more one of his peers in retirement talking in an interview about BB respecting certain players and therefore they had more flexibility to make choices/decisions. I doubt bb or Rodney would have called it 'freelancing' anyway. To some extent, a SAFETY is a freelancer.
It was Mayo in the Quick Slants podcast after the Carolina game, IIRC. He mentioned it more about Seau, but did mention Rodney, too. I wasn't sure if he referenced true freelancing or just what appeared to him as freelancing as he admitted their personal audible confused the heck out of Mayo the rookie.

I think that's a little to strong a criticism. Dorsett is here because at the start of the season the Pats lost Edelman and Mitchell right away, and the Pats desperately were looking for some depth at WR.Point taken but Dorsett ain't beating his guy I don't think a Safety is shading his area. I really expected a little bit more from him. If Mitchell comes back with a Hogan we are dropping 45 a Game on Teams. I don't know how you stop that. Greatest show on grass...greatest show on turf.
