Daaskins Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Straight from Jason LaCanfora's twitter page "And, FWIW, Skins put in waiver claim on WR Brian Robiskie Wed, but JAX ahead of them" we just missed a young talented wr who has not transitioned yet to the NFL.

rumplestilskin Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I dont think its a first come first serve scenario for waiver claims to the best of my knowledge. I read on rotoworld that if we sign him it could cost Banks his spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 He's not related to our one time receivers and interim HC Terry Robiske by chance is he? Or is it just a coincidental name? Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrelgreenie Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I've always been a fan of Robiske since Ohio State and he's been playing in the WCO w/ Cleveland. But this is a head scratcher. Cleveland needs WR and they let him go? And we already have a log jam at WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Or we just missed on a guy who can't separation in the NFL. And already think our young receivers stink. Sincerely, Captain Negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

authentic Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 They cut Robinskie (sorry Deion) for a reason. He couldn't get any separation from his defenders. We don't need another one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Huh, really? Small World.Thank you man. I did wonder on the name. Hail. Yup, he's the WR coach for ATL and they didn't put a claim in on his son. Sad.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarantula Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I just said in another thread we should claim him and drop Stallworth. I don't know what we're waiting for with Stall, his lone bit of value WAS his speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E44 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 i was also wondering who we would have waived had we got him -- probably Stallworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbyst21 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Paul, Hankerson and Austin should be playing/contending for that no. 1 and 2 spot. Moss out of the slot in his final years can regenerate what he's lost. The time is now for the rookies to prove they are starting caliber or busts. You dont get many opportunities in this league. When the opportunity arises you better be ready to jump or you drown. Dont know why we would look at Robinske unless the coaches are not confident in the players they have.

Mr. Nostril Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 The waiver wire in the NFL works exactly like the waiver wire in your fantasy football league. Over a certain period of time, each team has a chance to claim a player, and once the that period of time is up he goes to a team that claimed him. If multiple teams have claimed him, he's goes to the team with highest waiver priority(determined by worst record). If no one claims him he becomes a free agent.

Rufus T Firefly Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thank goodness we went after him. 8 WRs just isn't enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBuggs Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thank goodness we went after him. 8 WRs just isn't enough. Exactly. Seems as though we're already right back where we were at the end of last year, bringing in everyone else's "trash", for lack of a better term, at the skill positions and giving them a try. (We got Choice and tried with Robiskie.) I know we brought in several RBs last year. I thought this is why Skins drafted several RBs and WRs this year? Is this an admission that at least some of those drafted guys was a mistake? Like it or not, this doesn't give the appearance of progress. To me it feels like Skins are at the same place as they were last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
