Interesting pickup. Dobbs was a TE that they converted to DT (or DE in their 3-4). He's a big boy.. 6-2, 285 ish.
He was the guy on defense that was rocking a tight ends number for the Niners

This is weird. The Seahawks and Whiners never sign each other's players to their respective practice squads. :sarcasm_off:

So, where does THIS guy go?
LOL.
Round and round we go. They can't help themselves (and before you think I'm being critical of Seattle, I'm referring to BOTH teams).
Just to correct a previous poster tho...
...he wasn't a TE they converted to DT/DE. He was a college DE who they used to play on offense as a TE and FB...hence the #83 (so he wouldn't have to report). Similar to Will Tukuafu...whom Seattle also signed. Dobbs role on offense tho had all but evaporated.
He's an odd one. Really flashed as a rookie in Preseason a few years ago. Looked unblockable. Got himself in some trouble and got hurt and really hasn't been the same guy since.
He was released mostly to give Dorsey, Dial, and Carradine some time.

Wasn't this the guy in street clothes that hit Jeremy Lane out of bounds when Lane was covering a punt in the NFCCG??

Scruggs on IR? Geez, I didn't even know he was hurt. I thought he was back finally and looking better.

Maybe he was and just wasnt looking that much better(probably some knee issues still), but they're not fully convinced to give up just yet and want to keep himkeatonisballin":3awszj1e said:

His knee would "act up" since he returned to the field, but no reports of anything serious until now.

Is Dobbs a DE or DT b/c he seems like he's the build of one Clinton McDonald.
Losing Scruggs sucks but I'm definitely intrigued by Dobbs...and wonder if Quinn can mold him into an active contributor.

Well, he's got 3 days to get it together. Can't be that hard in this defense.
Special teams has struggled recently .... and apparently that is where Dobbs has been featured.
Interesting that mention of a 280 to 290 weight window keeps reappearing lately ...... Clinton .... Gregg ...... ect.
