How Aaron Dobson Compares to Randy Moss
For Friday’s B/R piece we’re taking a look at Dobson and Moss’ Marshall careers, and how a comparison to Troy Brown might be more realistic.
The big thing I’d say we look for, which would try to differentiate the players for us, are players with passion; guys that really love football. As we all know from our jobs, if you love what you’re doing you don’t feel like you’re working. If you don’t like what you’re doing, then every step of the way is just painful torture. We don’t want people who are in football because of the lifestyle it brings or the opportunities [or rewards] from it. We want people who are in our business because they love doing it.

[Aaron Dobson] was a very good second-round pick by the Patriots. Dobson is faster than departed veteran Brandon Lloyd; he should be able to step in for Lloyd and make an immediate impact on New England’s passing game. The Marshall product was the best receiver at the Senior Bowl and dazzled at his pro day (running the 40-yard dash in 4.42 and 4.44 seconds). He boasts very good hands and big-play ability. One could make a highlight reel out of the catches he made against East Carolina in 2011 and Purdue last season. He should also help out on special teams.

One thought on Harmon is that while he may not play extensively on defense in 2012, the Patriots don’t have an established strong safety of the future besides him on the roster. Adrian Wilson and Gregory are both in their 30s, and Tavon Wilson could be viewed as a free safety option. Harmon doesn’t project to be a consistent playmaker in the back half of the field, but he’s a tough, physical player who can be reliable as a developmental option.

I believe Amendola should be a productive player, based on how New England uses personnel to find favorable mismatches,” he said. “Amendola is a player you have to respect because of the intensity that he plays with and the fact that he’s absolutely fearless and will sacrifice his body for the ball. You can try to get hands on him to slow him down and do things to eliminate space to make it hard for the quarterback to find him quickly, but it’s tough.
Tons of good nuggets in this one, as is always the case when Chris Price talks to a scout.
