Tom Brady Resurrects Phillip Dorsetts NFL Career in 2nd Game with Patriots

[Rock Strongo]

some hyperbole but it got you here

In second game with Patriots, Phillip Dorsett posts second-most receiving yards of NFL career


A 5-foot-10, 185-pound target with 4.33 speed, that type of track meet had been seen at Miami and in flashes with the Colts. The 24-year-old had broken free for receptions of 64 and 51 yards, as well as a pair of 50-yarders, during his two seasons in Indianapolis. But he’d logged just seven games with three or more catches. The throws were often of the low-percentage nature, and 51 percent altogether, by the time took his last flight out.

That wasn’t the case at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. After being thrown to just once over the course of 18 snaps in New England’s Thursday night opener versus the Kansas City Chiefs, no incompletions took place in Dorsett’s vicinity Sunday versus the Saints.

He looked very decent and fit right in.

like the post said

not one incompletion his way. i like what i saw Sunday. hes not a slot guy for sure, but its nice to add a deep threat.

Unbelievable

hi dirt

Don't you have to have a career before it can be resurrected?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Nice- but it's the Saints.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Nice- but it's the Saints.

I was thinking that too after I recalled the Goff looked all-world the previous week...

Still, Dorsett looked more than adequate.

Unfortunately he may be hurt.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Can't remember where the thread is but I do recall giving the Pats an A grade on this trade.

That said, let's see him against any defense other than the Saints before we say his career was resurrected.

Except for the fact that he might be hurt and not play this upcoming game.. The entire WR core is hurt

Demarcus Ayers up to speed yet?

He will have to be and I am sure BB is getting him ready

Lookin forward to seeing what he can do. Thought he played very well for what little we got to see of him last season and was sad to see him go this offseason. Too much talent at the position so someone had to go.

Philip cometh forth and welcome to Foxborough

Ayers didn't take long to establish himself with Ben last season. He was brought up from the practice squad midseason last year IIRC.

Good to hear... Brady will get him ready... Or atleast BB won't allow him not to be

Well he's better in New England. I remember thinking, "Why the fuck did Indy draft him?" I can't find the thread but pretty sure I gave a C- or D grade for Dorsett. It made absolutely zero sense to me when the team had MAJOR issues at RB, O-Line, pass rush, LBer... I mean Jesus they had issues all over their team but wanted to give the fans another Andrew Luck weapon because Andrew Luck was supposed to be NFL Jesus.

In hindsight I'd rate the pick an absolute 100% F and one of the many reasons the Colts' FO is one of the worst in the league.

I'm sure he'll be ready. He was awfully sour after not making the Steelers 53 man roster. He'd probably love nothing more than to make the Steelers regret their decision.
