I never stated that Sanu did not primarily play slot or that his success in Atlanta came from another position. Atlanta moved Sanu to the slot after he was traded from Cincinnati - reference the link that I posted. On the Bengals, Sanu played outside filling in for Marvin Jones when he was injured.
Cleveland, Atlanta and the New York Giants are among the teams expected to express interest in signing Sanu, who has spent all four of his NFL seasons with the Bengals after being a 2012 third-round pick out of Rutgers. Sanu posted modest receiving totals last season with 33 catches for 394 yards as his role in the offense diminished with the return of wide receiver Marvin Jones and tight end Tyler Eifert from injuries that sidelined them in 2014.
Sanu has experience playing outside. The Pats will interchange Sanu and Edelman inside and out and be creative like always.
I dont think any less of you falsely claiming that Harry is the only WR on the Pats that supposedly gets deep. Dorsett is a deep threat WR because he has speed. Brady just threw Dorsett a deep TD pass vs the Jets and also last AFCC vs the Chiefs. Gordon was slow as molasses. Harry is no speed demon himself.

The acquisition of Sanu allowed Gordon to be shown the door. Gordon was the #2 WR in terms of targets and Sanu replaces Gordon as the # 2 now. Gordon was gone regardless of Harry. You can call it an even swap but I dont. Nobody is certain what Harry will do, but we know what Gordon did and we know what Sanu can do.
Sanu replaced Gordon.
Yes he's replacing his targets. Matter of fact, Sanu is such a big upgrade over Gordon, I expect him to get MORE targets than Gordon.
That's the only thing you're right about.
They play very different wr positions.
Harry will play very similar to Gordon.
Speed is not a requirement to be an intermediate deep threat outside the #'s.
Dorsett can't do that consistently. He's always had trouble beating pressman at the Los. He has trouble getting separation. He's not big enough to outfight physical cbs for contested balls.
Doesn't get much yac as well. But what he does he does pretty well.
Man I could go on and on. I'm getting a headache.
You don't have much understanding of the wr position,hoss.
It's ok, you're probably good at something.
I'm done
