You guys are playing the "yeah but's".

Deion Sanders is arguably the greatest CB to ever play the game and I promise you every single member of this forum can tackle better than he could, even Saintfan.

A CB's job 1st and foremost is coverage. Patrick Robinson has that covered (pun definitely intended).

Sorry, been caulking my building and wiring my generator...

But agree with how Danno alluded to Sanders; though I can't call him the greatest corner BECAUSE he couldn't tackle, but definitely top five...

If Robinson can "shut down" passing to that side of the field; if Robinson can generate 8-10 interceptions this season; if his coverage has a synergy affect to helping the pass rush; then, I would consider his pick warranted...

That sounds like a "yeah but" to me.... he can't tackle, but he's a great cover corner. Plus, I've seen Deion Sanders, and Patrick Robinson is no Deion Sanders in coverage. Jabari Greer is by far the best cover corner on this team.

Look, I really hope that Robinson develops into a complete player this season, but I just don't see it right now. He's young and still learning, so there's still time to improve. But just because coverage is "a CB's job 1st and foremost" doesn't mean tackling isn't a really important part of playing defense.

p.s. - this was a preseason game right?
