Taking the “Red Sox” point of view on him… not expecting much so I can be pleasantly surprised.

Remember, he was respected to go 1st half of 1st round before injury derailed his final year. Pats DB is gona be awesome -either for Pats or opposing QB ;)

Every morning, I read the Herald mobile site, and then around this time every day, I re-read the story on this site. I am not a journalist but that seems sketchy.

And yes, we need a healthy Dowling. We need a much stronger secondary presence, and we need Jones to get in there and rush the QB.

I’m a Pats fan. But after reading that injury list
he has sustained, all I can think about is
Mr. Glass from the film Unbreakable. I’m sayin
it with a straight face (tryin not to laugh here).

I hope its all behind him cuz he could really help
them.

You just gotta wonder though.

Dowling has a troubling injury history but he’s still got a couple more months of rest & rehab before Training Camp starts.
First off, no one in their right mind writes off that high a draft pick after just one season.
He’s got terrific size, plenty of athleticism and he was the 33rd overall selection. If he can stay healthy, look out. He could be a stud.

Aside from the hand and back injuries, all of the rest have been multiple knee and hamstring issues, and an ankle injury. The guy either has issues with planting his feet or he needs some professional conditioning work.

It is a coin toss, but if it comes up heads, the Patriots should be able to move up from last year in the secondary rankings.
