No, it’s clear that Thompkins has emerged from the rookie trio, and is just more proof that it doesn’t matter how you get to Foxboro, you’re on equal footing in competition.
I really liked how polished and comfortable Thompkins looked, with strong hands. The fact that Dobson and Boyce didn’t totally pop doesn’t concern me. There will be ups and downs with all three of them this season. Let’s just hope it’s not all at once.
