Koren Robinson Reinstated

[Guiness]

On the bright side, he's only 27 (two years younger than Walker) so he has 10 games to get in shape/up to speed and maybe make a difference in the playoffs. He's young enough to be able to get his body together in a short amount of time.

IF he gets his head together, he could be a nice player for us for the next 3 or 4 years. That's a pretty big if though and even when he was playing he wasn't great so it's not like we have some Randy Moss type gem here.

Wow, only 27? That's good. Really, he should just be entering his prime. He's been in trouble so many times, it seems like he'd been around a lot longer than that!

When has Robinson ever been a punt returner??? He made the Pro Bowl due to his kick return skills, there is a difference. I don't see him coming in and handling any punt return duties.

He'll help in the WR corp more than anything. Hope he can stay clean.

Some one want to tell me what the difference is between these two duties??? I never understood different guys doing these roles - seem similar enough to me.

I'm no expert but it seems to me as a PR you have guys immediately on you and shiftyness and burst is the order of the day. As a KR you want burst but also straight line speed and the ability to hit the one seem fast.


Damn Hester has both....

Your boy AP had more burst them him last week. Damn I hate that SOB!

I think he will be able to help stretch the field for us; maybe I'm wrong....that's why we play the games.

Man, I thought he returned punts for US.

He's returned 2 when he was with Minny soda a few seasons back.

I'm with ND, I want Woodson's ass off ST like last week. We cannot afford to lose either corner. Those guys are supporting a lot of what we do on D.

Wow, either Robinson is sippin his own kool aid or he'll have me eating my words within his first couple games back.

Sorry, thread jack....

Yea, I'm not sure he's suited for PR but maybe.......damn....he is quick to change direction after getting through the first line. I heard an interview on Monday where he said Tillman told him after slamming him down for a loss his first carry, or near the first "This ain't college rook"....so Peterson says "Guess we'll find out". He's pretty soft spoken and doesn't say much.


Back to Robinson. I really don't recall him returning punts much but I agree with KY that Woodson probably isn't the best choice if you can find a good alternative.



Old Tillman was chasing his back after that.

He has enormous potential, is fast as hell, and can be a deep threat, I say we activate him, deactivate Morency (he's worthless) and say to hell with it and go with the run and shoot. Put one back in there here and there for extra blocking, or a DT and just pass the friggin' ball every damn down. Five receivers every play. To hell with it. Driver, JJ, Jennings, Ruvell, and Koren with a TE or two. Favre will find someone almost every play. To hell with the run. Let's redefine the sport, and make Brett a folklore.

rastak, AP gives the vikes a lot to look forward to. just don't waste him like the lions wasted barry sanders.

now you just need a new coach.

I don't know that I'd say he has enormous potential. The guy is what he is. He is what he's shown. He's been in the league for years.

Run and shoot is interesting though......

Robinson isn't really a speed receiver. He had solid speed coming out, but he's lost some of that. He has good size, runs good routes, and has decent speed. He's not really a stretch the field type at this point.

[RashanGary]

Around playoff time, after Robinson gets into a rythm with Brett and our offense, I think he can be a real contributor.


Driver, Jennings, Jones and Robinson are a very good group of WR's. Driver is a #1 and the rest are #2's on many teams. It would be very hard for teams to cover everybody. All they need is a run game that is better than awfull and the offense will be complete.

That's what everyone was saying about Moss.

[HarveyWallbangers]

That's what everyone was saying about Moss.

Who? Not me. Moss doesn't have the speed he once had (did you see him in '98?), but he was so ridiculously fast that losing a little bit of speed didn't cost him much. I think most that argued against Moss thought 1) he can be an asshat that would ruin the chemistry of the team, 2) he was injury prone in his old age, 3) he had to go to the right situation to succeed. Who knows if Green Bay would have been the right situation. Maybe. Maybe not.
