The potential is there, its just a matter of how how MattyP is going to utilize the talent.Holy crap Dominique Easley

But keep in mind as you watch him and compare the "low" Easley with the high one.
3. Dobson looked rusty to me. The catch that turned into the Tillman interception was a) a nice catch of a poorly thrown pass, and b) the wrong call by the refs. He was on his back and touched by the defender with the ball in his possession. It should have been a completion. Yeah, I'm a homer. Sue me.
DEFENSIVE LINE
We couldn't ask for more. The run defensive defense was awesome with Mayo and Hightower back. Branch should be an OK backup. Sheard is a major addition.
DOBSON
If the ref had ruled the other way, we would been saying that Dobson was a lock and a could be a major contributor this year. I think that he's a lock.
SECONDARY
They played against a terrible set of wide receivers and looked OK. Consider just how much we would have been criticizing them if their receiver hadn't dropped SIX balls.
The good news is that the secondary will improve. We seem to have the personnel to succeed. We have our five. Swanson could sneak on the roster as a 6th corner, with Ryan as a ST only player.
Frolicking in the devil's playground, eh? Time to clean up your act and get those priorities straightened out. (Or maybe record the game to watch later?)I missed most of the game at a poker tournament,
I thought it might have been a catch too, but I can see how this boiled down to a ref's judgment call. The ball didn't appear to stop moving while Dobson had his hands on it.That was exactly my opinion too. The REF blew it. It should have gone as a reception, as Dobson was down, laying on his back holding the Ball when touched.
Dobson had a nice long ball catch later to set up a score.
My criticism of Dobson if there is any, is the pair of penalties he received. The second (really the first), INT was purely on Brady. I think Dobson had a pretty good game overall, and provides the passing game something that no other receiver including La Fell does, a sizeable, fast, deep, receiving threat.
After watching Dobson play, I am more sanguine having LaFell start on PUP if necessary. As it stands otherwise the entire receiving corps is all smurfs. Edelmen, Amendola, Harper and Krause hardly look like anything, but a PoP Warner sized squad.
