Kyle Dugger

[TomPatriot]

i have seen Texas play this season and do you really think he can set the edge show at nfl players? I see him as little more than a speed bump in the running game.

Setting the edge is more than power. Balance and quickness matter, which he has in abundance. He’s 250, which isn’t small. I only saw him against OSU but he looked like he can do the job.

duggar is a master of being around the football but not really doing anything. He makes next to no plays, just a few tackles, so that is probably why you see him as invisible.

This isn't true.

IMO...The Bucs got a better safety later in the draft, to this early point anyway, Antoine Winfield Jr. @ 45

I don't think so. Winfield also has the privilege of playing behind a very talented front -7.

Winfield might be the more polished player, but he's basically at his ceiling athletically. Dugger has a lot more potential.

That's what Belichick drafted him for...potential...but the old saying "a bird in the hand, is better than one in the bush" could turn out to be true if he doesn't grow as a player. Winfield was the Big Ten D-back of the year last year and Dugger was playing ball at Lenoir-Ryhne. We'll see how it goes...

Honestly, we as fans tend to say that but then wonder why we end up with a bunch of solid but unspectacular players. Can't have it both ways. BB often takes players that aren't "high ceiling" and gets roasted for it...

It’s funny how the optimism in this thread about Dugger’s performance this year shifted before vs. after Thursday nights game.

The first player I can think of who meets your criteria of "not high ceiling, BB got roasted for taking him" is Jordan Richards, and that was well-deserved roasting. Who are some examples of this in recent Patriots history who actually turned out solid but unspectacular? Maybe Harmon, but even he was considered to have upside.

Duggar has showed some promise but he is nowhere near as good as some in this thread think he is and nowhere near as bad as others in here think.

We could have had Aiyuk! This guy Duggar will never be that good

Dugger's last 4 games:

10 targets
5 receptions
44 yards
62 passer rating

Also top 10 in the NFL in run stops for safeties.

The game slowing down for a former D2 FS now playing SS/dime LB? You don't say.

So if Dugger is heir apparent at SS and Philips is at this LB hybrid spot, we still really need an apprentice at FS.

matter of time until hes a Pro Bowler.

Hes got 'it" whatever "it" is..

Of course Dugger will makes mistakes but at the moment he does look as if he has the ability to progress further.

I wonder if there's a record kept of how many of those receptions went for first downs...

I'm sure there were one or two, but this kid looks like a keeper.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

would rather have Aiyuk or Jefferson

SloJuan?

Forgot he was still on the team. Don't see a spot for him at all. But we need a FS as Devin will be 34 soon. And DE/DT. Our runD needs to be fixed
