00:00I do not think they did well in the Dotson trade.

00:05Maybe if he balled out for them,

00:06they could get more in a Dotson trade.

00:08If he didn't ball out, they'd probably get less

00:11and they didn't get very much.

00:12I am a believer in market economics.

00:15And I don't think Adam Peters only called Philly

00:19about trading Dotson.

00:21I'm guessing he called lots of places

00:23to see what there was out there.

00:25And there wasn't that much out there.

00:27That's, to me, pretty obvious.

00:30To others, it might not be.

00:32I think Dotson can play.

00:33I do not, however, understand Jimmy Lee Patterson.

00:38And I wish Jeff was here

00:39because he knows the folks in the chat

00:40if they're crazy or trolls or whatever.

00:44I don't know that this dude is or isn't.

00:45Maybe he just thinks he knows me.

00:48But Jimmy Lee Patterson accused me of playing water boy

00:51for the organization

00:52because I'm downplaying Dotson's rookie year.

00:55Jimmy, here's what I can tell you.

00:56I said on television, radio, and podcast

00:59that Dotson was really good as a rookie.

01:01He had seven touchdowns on 35 catches.

01:03He was in an offense, Scott Turner's offense,

01:07that designed ways to get him off the line of scrimmage.

01:11They designed ways for him to get off the line of scrimmage

01:15without a big bump or a jam or a press.

01:18And then once he got into space, he was really good.

01:21In Eric Biennumi's offense, that largely dried up

01:23and a lot of Dotson's red zone prowess dried up.

01:28Not to mention, all of a sudden last year,

01:30he was dropping passes that I never would have expected

01:32when he came out of college

01:34because he was graded as arguably the best hands catcher

01:36in that draft class.

01:39I am in no way downplaying Dotson's showed serious flashes

01:43of being a stud wideout.

01:46And maybe he'll get back to it,

01:47but it doesn't matter

01:48because Adam Peters and Dan Quinn didn't want him here.

01:51You can't look at the events of the last 24 hours

01:53and come to any other conclusion

01:55that the staff now did not want him.
