Patrick Robinson

A lot of people want us to pick up a CB in the draft and some think that position should be a first round pick. I tend to forget we drafted Prob in the first round 2 years ago. He's shown flashes but then got injured, by all intents and purposes he should have a big up side. CB is a position that can take a couple of years to grow into. Do you guys think that first round corner is already on the team in PRob? Have we as fans kind of forgotten about him or have you seen enough of him to know how he's gonna shake out.
He could very well come out and ball under Ryan?

Even if he does I still think we need a CB in the draft but in a late round.

Re: Patrick Robenso

He did look much improved in RR's system during the preseason, but unfortunately due to the injury, we're still left guessing if he'll ever live up to his potential.

And that is the main reason, in my opinion, most don't see him as being the starter opposite of Lewis. And in any case, CB is a position where you need quality depth behind the starters.


I wouldn't mind a CB in the 1st if he is at the top of the Saints' board.

Re: Patrick Robenso

He was actually drafted in the first round. 32nd pick. Man, I can't wait until we have a number 32 pick again next year.

Alterraun Verner was picked in the 4th round that year.

PRob has shown flashes but he has to stay healthy. I don't know really if he is going to ever be a #1 CB. Maybe #2 but there are still too many questions about his play.

If Gilbert or Dennard drop I say pounce. Either would be a big upgrade over PRob. Not completely sold on Verrett. Kyle Fuller is a great player but will he be better than other positions available? Questions questions.

One thing I learned from drinking. You should always go Christmas caroling with a group. Oh, and always in mid-December.

Re: Patrick Robenso

Make or break year for him, if he struggles or gets injured again it will be time to show him the door

No Ingram has to show and prove this season also, but Patrick had the starting job to himself in his 2nd year, Ingram has never been the 1st option in the running game to be fair.

He didn't earn that starting job. If they thought Ingram could get the job done as a starter he would have gotten more carries. He's had plenty of time and opportunity to show what he has but has been too up and down.
I want Ingram to do good, he has just got to show that he can start a season like he ends it.

Agreed, but in this style of offense I don't think we will ever see a consistent running game from any of our backs. At times during SP's reign, we have shown the consistency to pass as much as the 1984 Houston Gamblers.

I just hope Roll tide continues to run the ball as effectively as he did the latter part of 2013 season.
