Koren Robinson Reinstated

[Carolina_Packer]

To me it doesn't matter who wins a 40 race if they were to all line up. It matters who gets off the line, who runs good routes, who gets open, who catches everything thrown their way (or virtually), and who has the toughness, and skill to get some extra yards. That's how this offense moves, not so much vertically.

Don't you feel good about our 4 WR sets now? Man oh man!

[RashanGary]

Fastest WR would be a 4.35
Slowest would be a 4.75


There is a difference of 0.4 between the fastest and slowest.

0.4 seconds divided by 10 (for a 10 scale) = 0.04 seconds


Scale

4.35 - 10
4.39 - 9
4.43 - 8
4.47 - 7
4.51 - 6
4.55 - 5
4.59 - 4
4.63 - 3
4.67 - 2
4.71 - 1
4.75 - 0


Jennings (4.48) is a 7 based on combine times (on a somewhat fast track)

Robinson (4.61) is between a 3 and a 4 based on a fast track. I'd call him a 3 because on a normal track he'd probably drop a notch

Jones (4.60) is a 4 because his was on a somewhat fast track, but not a rubber track like Robinson



If you were to grade them on a 10 scale, Jennings is 3 or 4 notchs better than those guys. If you grade it on a 5 scale, he's 1.5 - 2 notches better. If you were to grade it on a 3 scale, fast average or slow, Jennings would faster than average and the other two would be slower than average. I guess in that way it would only be one notch, but it would be one big notch.

Watching them play, Jennings clearly has game breaking ability. I havn't seen that out of the other two.

OK, I take back what I just said Leaper. I just did some research and apparently Robinson wasn't healthy for his workouts. He ran a 4.6, but most felt he was much less than 100% and were going to draft him based on how he played, not how he timed when injured.


Robinson and Jennings are probably pretty close with this in mind.

[The Leaper]

Robinson and Jennings are probably pretty close with this in mind.

I think Jennings has an edge. Don't get me wrong. He should...he's younger and smaller. Jennings is more quick than fast to me. He probably has better acceleration than most WRs, but he lacks that top gear that elite speed guys have.

I just think Robinson has tremendous physical talent for the receiver position...especially in the WCO. If he has matured as a person through all his ordeals, he likely will also mature as a player. He is a bona fide #2 receiver...and will be a HUGE benefit to this offense if he keeps himself clean and gets back up to speed. He is similar to Freeman in terms of size, but faster.

To me, Jennings and Robinson are probably similar in terms of their ability to make an impact. I just like Robinson from the standpoint that he offers strengths in areas where Driver and Jennings can struggle...getting separation because of size/strength and jump ball situations.

Jennings is mid 4.4s. Robinson, based on how he played when he was young, is probably around a 4.5 guy. Not a whole lot of difference. However, that was counter to the people that make him out to be some type of speed demon that could stretch the field. Jones is a step slower than those guys. They all have their strengths.

Jennings runs the best routes, is the fastest, and has the most instincts. On the downside: he is smalled and might be injury prone.

Jones is the strongest and probably has the best hands. On the downside: he's not fast and is still raw with his skills. He'll improve.

Robinson has the best combination of the two. He's not overly fast, but he has enough speed to run any route (like Jennings and Driver). On the downside, his hands are probably the worst of the three.

They all are relatively even. Jennings and Robinson are close. Jones is probably third best because of the experience factor. I don't think it's clearcut that Robinson is better than Jennings, when healthy.

I would agree. I think Jones is a step behind the other two with certainty. He has great potential, but still has a lot to learn.

Robinson CAN be better than Jennings. He certainly won't be right away due to having a year off. If he takes his last chance to heart, he has the physical ability to be a 1200/8 guy every year with Favre at QB. I'm not sure Jennings has that kind of ability...he certainly doesn't seem to have the durability to do that consistently at this point.

He's not Moss, but Robinson is the kind of experienced veteran who would have been a good FA pickup. You have to like the Packers chances of success if Robinson contributes like his talent should allow him to.

If I had to rate the WR's this year


Driver
Jennings
Robinson
Jones


Next year

Driver
Jennings
Robinson/Jones


Jennings has potential to be a #1 WR. I think Robinson and Jones are career #2's.

[MJZiggy]

Talk to me about Jennings' speed the day someone catches him from behind because I don't recall having seen it happen yet.

Screw it, just give me the guy that can score the touchdowns. If they all can, then spread the ball around without worrying about #1,2, or 3. I don't care about that. I just want that camera shot of their cute little asses running into the end zone.

[Harlan Huckleby]

keep in mind there is a very good chance that one of Driver, Jones or Jennings will be injured before the end of the regular season.

Having one excellent backup for three positions is no extravagance, it might be critical.

That's why Shaun Bodiford is there! He's our secret weapon!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

I was referring to Bodiford, sorry if I was unclear.
