Larry Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Welcome, sir. Welcome. I think you will find that this fan base really does have a "thing" for some power running backs. Prepare yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Well, this is exciting. Fully expect Mr Robinson to establish himself as the bell cow and allow Mr Gibson to showcase his versatility more…which is nice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Tiki Barber was a fumbling none electric RB until they added the thunder to his lightning. Let's hope this ignites Gibby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan93 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Great pick! If you watch him, I like the fact that he’s always leaning forward, he’s a true running back, not a converted wideout. I also like that he has quick feet at the line maybe slower top end speed but it would be nice to see us getting the tough 2-3 yards. I hope he gets the majority of rushing carries over Gibson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about our first round pick this year Josh Dotson...or maybe the DT we almost picked, Alfred Gainsworth.... Ok, so I misspelled Darius Bryce...

Freight Train Robinson-- offensive rookie of the year and Super Bowl MVP. He and "Twinkle Toes" Gibson will make quite a tandem. .

Peregrine Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 To skip a LB or DB at this spot, he better have a big year. At the point you turn Gibson into the alternate, Im not sure I see too much point for both Gibson and McKissic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I am really surprised that everyone isn't more excited about this pick. RB was a huge need. Gibson was always banged up and has a big fumbling issue. Our starting RB was benched multiple times and we only won when we could run the ball. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league has moved to more tandem RB situations. McKissic can still be the 3rd down specialist, plus you have depth for the inevitable injuries that strike. You also have flexibility to flex Gibson out to slot sometimes. Great pick. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757SeanTaylor21 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 My issue with this draft is there js legitimately still no effing linebacker. Not one in free agency and all the good ones are taken. We drafted a player that we could of gotten either later...similar production in a free agent such as star lutelele...or another prospect. So I assume we gonna resign Collins back maybe. But wtf.

The way that Turner likes to use motion and deception presnap, really opens things up for Gibson, when we have another legit RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a formation with McLaurin, Dotson, and Samuel at WR and Robinson and Gibson in the backfield. The defense counters by putting a lot of their speed guys in. We motion Gibson out wide. If a LB follows him, we can either throw a screen or short slant type route to Gibby who should win that matchup, or if the D is particularly light(maybe they go dime) we can pound Robinson against a weak front. Then there are other possibilities with two TE fronts with Thomas and Bates. And we haven't even factored in Brown's deep ball ability with a QB that can actually get it to him. Assuming reasonable health, no more excuses for Scotty Turner. I haven't been hard on him like others have, I think overall he's done a fine job considering the severe lack of talent on the offensive side of the ball, but he might finally have some toys to work with now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of deep play WRs, with a big armed QB, to go with a pounding RB and guys who win the short intermediate stuff like Bates, Curtis, Thomas, McKissic and Gibby. Should be able to keep teams in 2 deep sets and have plenty of room to attack underneath and make them pay when they don't. On paper adding another Terry like WR, power back and a legit QB should really transform our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Gibson is our tallest WR now isn’t he? Only kinda joking. I think this staff always wanted Gibson as a more joker role. They definitely want someone to play that position. If not him then that other WR I have never seen play before. Robinson gives him the freedom to line up at WR much more often and get all that talent on the field at one time…..I would think. But who the **** knows honestly.

Redskin21502 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I love this pick. I felt we needed to add a RB early this draft and Robinson is the perfect compliment to Gibson. This will help Antonio a ton. My favorite pick so far. This could be another 3rd round hit for the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Youtube analysis here but he seems to have nimble and quick feet. Not a knock on Gibson but there was always a bit of quicksand when he was moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he doesn’t have to worry about fumbling thru contact at the line if he’s out there catching passes like Debo. he can revert back to his hazardous carrying style. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
