https://Invalid Link - Check SN Hom...report-dotson-suffers-knee-injury-on-tuesday/. Hopefully it is nothing serious. Big Dot has a knee and Dax rolled up his ankle. In ex Steelers news Artie Burns tore his ACL out for the year/season.

Dotson needs every second of TC. I hope he isn't held out to long.





Salute the nation

Dot is a guy i am really rooting for but that is a blow for the kid for sure. with expanded PS, he may well end up there but in a league short of OL, someone will poach him I would bet.

I don't think they would expose Dot to the PS. That would somewhat surprise me. But I agree exposed and I am sure someone would gobble him up.

Dotson and the TE are short term injuries according to Tomlin.

Dotson to me was a reach where he was drafted. He was not invited to the combine, not did he pro day. I read his draft in Lindy's, they say he struggles to move side to side.

Another report on his downside:

[FONT=&quot]Will turn 24 early in his rookie season, and teams may not see much room for technical or physical maturation in his game.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]—Consistent level of competition is an obvious concern and will have to be answered early on in camp; third-stringers will be better than the majority of what he faced throughout his time at Louisiana.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]—Stiff lower body; will struggle to redirect laterally versus speed-rushers.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]—Wants to deliver blows and can get overextended in both phases fairly often; comes with some balance concerns and is on the ground far too often.[/FONT]

I think these are fair, but he also plays guard, so lateral movement against speed rushers is a low priority when he has help on either side of him. He's also not a starter yet, he's a developmental player, but damn do I like his film and his upside!
