Roster cutdowns - PATRIOTS

[Ozymandias]

Dorsett is a speedster that doesn't fit into a vertical passing attack?

He sucked in that system despite his athleticism. Speed isn't the only component to being a successful receiver in that style of system.

I didn't say I dislike it or that is is not interesting. Just I am not overly excited. He has already played 2 years with Luck who likes to chuck it up. He already had that 2nd year jump so his ability to improve may not be that high at this point.

Let's not over hype a WR who got 528 yards with a good QB throwing to him. Yes the 4.3 speed is interesting but that doesn't win games or makes plays in itself. I am not saying he is horrible cause i don't think he is. However lets not pretend this is going to make a big difference in our offense. I see it pretty much as a WR depth move which is fine.

528 yards in only his second year in the league. Wide receivers typically break out in their third season

It also means Mitchell might have a concerning injury and DA is on a pitch count

He might be out week 1 but I'm sure Mitchell will be back by week 3

I think Mitchell is a chronic situation

Is that your way of saying that O'Shaughnessy will make the 53?

Not sure.

Dorsett was big.

Not sure about Big O. He has ST value but not sure if he stays who goes at this point.

Nope. 2nd year is the jump year for WRs more than not. Some make the jump in year 3 or 4 or 5 or even 6. But 2 is by far the most common year and more than half the time for all positions including WR.

This is not me starting an opinion. It is how it generally works.

 

[Aßßynormal]

I am very high on Brisset, not so high on Dorsett.

Maybe, RoWeathers is right and MM is more injured than disclosed. We now need a PS QB or 2. Also, we now have to draft another QB this coming draft.

Maybe it will work out. IBBIT.

You missed my point rw, guess I was too subtle.

Yea it went over my head. What were you trying to say?

If O'Shaughnessy makes the team then Mitchell better protect his knees when O'Shaughnessy has the ball.

Remember the game where he plowed into Mitchell's knee?

Ah....LOL

Worth pointing out. Dorsett has 3 returns in 2 years. 2 punt returns for 1 yard total. 1 kick off return for 12 yards.

So maybe he can but to ask him to do something he hasn't done in 2 years really isn't a small thing.

Unless doing it every day in practice in college and NFL counts for something..

Can he block at all?

I added a smilie to the original post to show if wasn't a serious post.
Probably clearer now.

Seems to me you only like short slot WRs

We have enough players that do what Lucien does better. We have fewer slot guys. It's simple math.

 

[Triumph]

Making cuts after practise? WOW that is brutal.

The guys that dont make it find out when they go back to find their locker gone.

Have to change in their car

BTW ...

Congrats to those posters who recently brought up Dorsett as a potential BB trade target.

And, congrats to those who thought that Brissett might be traded.

What do you think of the Dorsett trade?
