Reiss' September 4 2015 roster projection

[PatsBoy12]

While I think that Dobson makes the team (and hopefully Harper goes to PS), I would guess that Belichick takes the entire 2013 WR corps, or lack thereof, into consideration. In other words, people were high on Kenbrell Thompkins that year as well, and you see how well that worked out.

I don't think we should give up on Dobson just yet, but I also don't understand those who continue to make statements regarding his awesome talent either. He may benefit from the injury to LaFell, and the fact that he knows the system better than Harper/Wayne, but there's definitely still some uncertainty to his situation. All we can do is hope that it works out.

Wow, read my post. I made it before I saw yours and they are almost identical. ha ha

Don't need 4 tight ends. If Williams is a TE, cut hooman, if not, figure what he is and keep him, or PS. Is Ebner going to be a career special teamer on one team without being a realistic option at safety? If not, there's another spot.

Take those spots, add back Dobson and another CB [Daxson, Coleman, or both and axe Ryan].

It's crazy to cut Dobson now. He's rusty, been out with injury and really hasn't played bad. then we'll say, "where can we find a tall receiver who can get behind the defense without mortgaging the stadium?" Duh.

Let him play himself off the team. Otherwise, he's a very valuable player type we won't find on waivers. Young [looking at you reggie] tall fast and has had some success with Brady.

I like Lafell for his toughness and YAC, but he's no deep threat.

Karen Guregian's 53 has James Morris on it. Oops. Nothing else about it seemed insightful either.

Reiss has 38 "locks", 11 "appear to be safe", and 17 "on the bubble".

Ebner and TE Williams are probably the only "appear to be safe" choices that would surprise anybody around here.
