Hmm, i smell a Troll
Calm down Gordy. It was a tongue in cheek response to some mild overreactions

Wouldn't really call Meyers or White slow. White definitely quicker than fast, but still not sure i'd say slow. Dorsett is definitely important, though.Our offense is SOO slow.
Michel- SLOW, no explosion. Can't outrun DEs to the outside
Burkhead- PAINFULLY SLOW
Sanu- Slow
White- Slow
Edelman- creates separation but not from top speed
Harry- Slow
Meyers- Slow
Tight Ends- Embarrassingly slow
We need some SPEED in the open field this offseason!!

To be fair, what speed did we really have last year that I'm forgetting? Patterson isn't THAT fast imo. Very good overall athlete, but I don't know that he has great straight line speed. That team put up a lot of points down the stretch.
I am happy if he is a solid starter for 4-5 years. That is what (historically) the expectations should be for people picked at #32.
It is not like he is some kind of blue chip player that is a guaranteed success.

ok, fair. not convinced he's faster than dorsett. and that's also partially negated by the fact that he simply wasn't on the field that much. Plus, he isn't really deep threat like that. I remember his catch against Miami. Not too many other deep balls.Patterson is very fast
I think its fair to say at this point in time Harry is an absolute bust that will set this franchise back decades.

Clearly, Belichick is an idiot!He’s probably not going to be any good. Hopefully he can use his size and grab some jump balls over smaller defensive backs but he’s likely a future Pats draft lolcow
I think
1) Meyers has reached his ceiling. I don’t think he going to get any faster, stronger, more reliable. He is probably headed towards being game day inactive.
2) Harry is not going to get a good separation from the defenders, but he may be able to use his big frame to catch short and intermediate passes.
3) 4.29 speed is wasted on Dorset. He is not a deep threat, just 20-30 reception guy.
4) Sanu - is the second best receiver, but being wasted on punt returns.
5) Gunner is the most explosive and reliable receiver after Edelman. I hope they continue to use him.
He just seems kinda weak too, when I remember reading his scouting report from somewhere that he was feisty and fought for balls.
I wish Belichick hadn't cut Josh Gordon. There's a good shot that Gordon gets healthier and back to last year, when he had some nice deeper catches. If nothing else, having Gordon run routes out there instead of Meyers or Dorsett is an upgrade. I guess if it's true he was habitually late, it's a difficult choice. His teammates all seemed to like him though.
Out of the three new WRs who are active on gameday, Jakobi Meyers is the most knowledgeable one as it pertains to familiarity within the offense. That’s a pretty big freaking deal. Brady is now hand-holding both Sanu AND Harry, and Meyers isn’t exactly a seasoned vet out there. Brady is now trying to teach three different WRs who are active on gameday and seeing reps.
I hope there was a good reason for not being able to put up with Josh Gordon for another couple of months as we now move into week twelve. Even if he wasn’t setting the league on fire, he was on par with guys like Sanu, Meyers, and Harry, and at least knew where to be and what to do.
These guys are invisible. LaCosse is terrible at both receiving and blocking.
3 catches on 4 targets, I don't recall this missed one I thought he was 100% but anyway, it was a tough game, on the road, offense not working, under pressure. I take it. There's not a lot to read from this game other than have the kid out there losing his nfl virginity, the fact that he didn't lay an egg under the lights is a positive for me.
All of these wonderful things will happen only if the O-Line shows up and BLOCKS.How do you feel about Harry vs. the Cowboys? Seems like he matches up well, as does our offense. Cowboys weak spot is in the secondary. I think Edelman lights them up, but I could see Harry being effective as well.
