Botched Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I wish we'd throw him more short stuff. He's got the moves to get through defenders, but all we do is throw him bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Well, we've got this guy named Banks on the roster who he can't seem to pass on the depth chart. Shanny has been putting Banks on notice in his pressers since the Carolina loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 He kinda seems like the new Anthony Armstrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoot4Prez Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 He should be returning kicks for us... Similar speed to Banks. Better size. Added ball security. Free roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan1993 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I think we have the luxury of being able to rotate our 5 WRs (Garcon, Hankerson, Morgan, Moss, and Robinson), our 2 TEs (Paulsen and Paul), our 2 RBs (Morris and Royster), and our FB (Young) into the game based on the circumstances. That's 10 offensive players not named Griffin who have proven that they will step up and make a play if called upon. That's a nightmare for a defense. Robinson might put up more numbers if he was used differently, but there's no reason to do so at this point. I agree with you on everything except Morris and Royster. It's such a drop off when Royster gets in the game. And on Robinson. He is basically this year's Armstrong, so I wouldn't call him "special". He should just replace Banks on returns though. He's faster than him and doesn't have Randal El-itis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdMack21 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I think the opening statement made in the topic was jumping the gun a bit (no disrespect). Every game is different and this game we used more of the run game and pa passes over the middle. Also mixed in with the option. Teams will determine weather or not the want to give up the deep ball by how they play their safeties. Robinson will get more and more opportunities as the week goes on but as we have seen with this O... its a new guy every week. Moss has 7 touchdowns but he didnt make a peep in this past game.

ke27on Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I agree with the other posters, I think he needs to polish his other routes. I havent observed his blocking ability but I have to imagine hankerson, morgan, and garcon all block better, probably moss too. Like others said, I think when he is in the game they kinda know why he is there. Luckily its still effective at least since they know they better back up big time if they dont want to get roasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storminskinz Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Aldrick Robinson G GS Rec Yds Avg Lng TD 11 2 11 237 21.5 68T 3 I think he has done pretty well with the receptions he has made. Definitely someone teams will be aware of when he is on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Not trying to sound like Im complaining about anything, but seriously, this kid is special yet hes not in the game much? Id rather have him in there than Hank, and I like Hank, I just think Robinsons speed is so incredible. Maybe he isnt the best blocker but seriously, get him in there, even if its to have him streak a few times a quarter! You don't go deep much against a 2 high look. You run (meaning you DO want your best blockers) or try to hit under patterns which usually means you want the bigger, stronger guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I agree with you on everything except Morris and Royster. It's such a drop off when Royster gets in the game.And on Robinson. He is basically this year's Armstrong, so I wouldn't call him "special". He should just replace Banks on returns though. He's faster than him and doesn't have Randal El-itis. I didn't call any of those guys special, but we have 9-10 guys who have proven that they can make plays for us when called upon. We've had playoff teams with far fewer weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I think Aldrick is right where we want him to be. He's developing nicely and plays well when given the opportunity. I think we went with Hankerson and Morgan more the other night because they are better blockers, and Hank was blocking his tail off all night long. Aldrick is just fine. He's a burner, trying to add more to his game. Kyle and Shanny are bringing him along and Aldrick is putting in work to get better. He will be a solid WR for us...which is a steal considering his draft position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrelgreenie Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 We should use Aldrick Robinson for all the plays where we use Brandon Banks. And why didn't they target Tana, who basically carried the receiving corps in Garcon's absence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2STaylor1 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 my uneducated guess would be that we run the ball a ton and he just isnt as good as a run blocker as morgan, garcon, hank etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins2victory Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 As I said in the Brandon Banks thread, I would like to see Aldrick get a shot at punt returns..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It seems Aldrick Robinson is one of those "if everything goes right on this play...." type of WRs. He is sent out on deep routes down the field, and RGIII probably looks his way first for the big completion, but if the safeties don't bite on the fake, or option or whatever, they will be back there with Robinson taking away that option. Garcon is definitely the "can get open anywhere on the field regardless of the situation" WR of this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100%. Well articulated. However, I'm starting to think more and more he's not living up to his ability because Banks is really wasting a roster spot and a role that Aldrick should be filling. However, if you think about it, Shanahan's probably still having nightmares of his fumbles 2 pre-seasons ago and Banks seems to be very secure with the football.

LadySkinsFan Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Brees was throwing into the center of the field all day long yesterday as it was wide open, even the announcers commented on it. (In my defense for watching that game over the Redskins, I'm in Austin and it was the only way to get Redskins news and scope out the Cowboys for next week.) Our OL needs to give Robert more time in the pocket, because that's were Robert will be. Hopefully Ware will be sidelined, he looked pretty banged up yesterday. Also, the Cowboys are so inconsistent, they count on their handful of big plays being successful, so we have to stop that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTH Gang Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Aldrich has a grand total of 11 catches on the season, but 3 have been game changing TD bombs. Turn him loose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Without doubt, Robinson has a future on this team. Hopefully, a great future. We have the luxury of having 4 receivers with 500+ yards for what, the first time in a decade, a top notch TE in Fred Davis waiting in the wings.....There is only some many passes to go around. He'll get his share one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
