Robinson more at ease in 2nd year

METAIRIE — For a moment early in Sunday’s game with the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints second-year cornerback Patrick Robinson allowed his emotions to get the best of him.

For a moment, Robinson thought Saints coaches might yell at him. Which, when he was reminded of it a few days later, certainly could have happened a year ago when he was a raw rookie.

But when Robinson intercepted Panthers rookie Cam Newton on the game’s first play and returned the errant pass inside the Carolina 10 to set up the offense for a quick score, his big play and unbridled exuberance were welcomed.

The second-year pro, who has settled in and started the past four games at right cornerback, whipped the ball high into the air after he was tackled at the Panthers’ 6 following his second NFL interception. The first came one week earlier against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

“That was just emotion,” Robinson said, noting the second pick was more satisfying. “I really didn’t realize that I did that, but I was like, ‘I just cost myself,’ I didn’t know if I was going to get a penalty or not, so it was all emotion.”

All he got when he returned to the bench area, however, was smiles.

Porter looked great his first year then he broke his wrist so we had to wait to watch him develop. Now we are watching P Rob mature. We are going to finally have the corners that Payton has been looking for since he came here.

he has great closing speed on the ball, the more experience this guy gets he should get better and better. he's a keeper. all players have growing pains so be nice to the guy.

I'm not sold just yet; the GB game he wasn't great, and we've given up a lot of big plays and had a ton of busted coverage

102 points given up in 3 games against the decent teams (one minus its star RB) is scary

It seemed like the kid played way too far off his guy in GB, trying to keep plays in front of him. But, the opposing QB was Aaron Rodgers. That guy is the best QB in the league right now.

Robinson seems to be getting more comfortable each game. I think he's been pretty solid so far this year.
