I've seen such a report mentioned here but haven't seen an actual report. Do you have a link? All I've seen on the subject is this:
Talib: Good release by Dobson, Thompkins
... which seemed pretty positive on the subject — and came from an experienced player on the field.
There was a tweet to that effect previously reported in this thread
Dobson couldn't get off the press in 1 on 1s. Struggled big time in that drill. Didn't have much of a wiggle at the line. Wasn't physical.
As for the Talib comment, he's hardly likely to say that Dobson was rubbish at beating press so the pinch of salt rule applies. But I wasn't there and can't say which is the true account which is why I talked about "a report" and "something to keep an eye on" and was no more declarative than that.
I was responding to a comment making light of Dobson struggling at "only" a drill and pointing out that that particular drill is a pretty damn important one, that's all.
