Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

Here's a good character player I really liked out of Ohio State. Terry Robiski's son.

6'3" solid player, possibly suffered from poor QB play in Cleveland and Jacksonville. Not sure why he couldn't emerge as the #2 in Detroit in his first year. Clearly a cap move IMO.

Anyone have insight? I'd be inclined to give him a look...

We have enough WR's already on the roster deserving a look... That's my opinion...

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

Even as a collegiate player, I was never thought he was anything special. That said, if we brought him in for a look see, it wouldn't hurt anything.

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

If the Saints bring in Brian Robiskie they must have no confidence in the young guys they have because Robiskie has done absolutely nothing in 4 years in the league.

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

+1.. no bones about it.

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

I see your point, but I partially disagree. I think there are often times where a team may see some value in a player and has confidence in it's coaching staff enough to feel like bringing said player in could be a fresh start and different scenario in which the player may have a better chane to fulfill some of his potential. I'm with Papz on this one. While I know that Robiskie has never been anymore than a big target that is usually outclassed in a foot race, it doesn't hurt a thing to bring a guy in for a look during the offseason and training camp, and I don't think it says a thing about our confidence in the other receivers that we already have. Successful teams in this league create competition at every position at this time of the year and going into training camp. Let's not forget that we'll enter camp with nearly 100 guys and cut it down to 53 and a 10 man practice squad. If a guy gets butt-hurt because there are a bunch of guys gunning for their position then someone in the office is doing their job right.

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

This guy has ability. He's 6-4 and runs well, and he's known as an intelligent player.

Assuming our 6 receivers are right now:

Colston
Moore
Morgan
Toon
Stills
Roby

I say bring him in and see what he's got, because we all know Colston and Moore have had some injuries, Morgan is not the most consistent and Toon/Stills are complete unknowns.

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

If he can't cut it as Lion after four years, he must suck. With all of the attention Megatron gets, surely another wr can get some healthy servings of football catches. Chalk it up to yet another son of a former NFL player that does not measure up. We will see with our very own wr Toon!

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

He can't get off the line of scrimmage. Zero speed.

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

He was only with the Lions for 6 games and a midseason pickup at that.

Other than that his quarterbacks have been Jake Delhomme, Colt McCoy, Chad Henne and Blaine Gabbert. So it's possible, just possible, that he maybe hasn't had a fair shake.

We got Mike Bell from a similar circumstance (bounced around a little, had some bad luck) and he was a really good player.

His Dad is the Falcons WR Coach - No.

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

I will pass on him I wasn't a big fan of his when he was at Ohio State but what do I know if he makes us better bring him in.

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

What? No Stafford in that list? He's a 5000 yard passer... :confused: :awe:

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

I said those were his QB's OTHER than his stint with the Lions AFTER pointing out that he was only with them for 6 games. Reading comprehension, anyone?

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

You have to wonder about the guy if he couldn't emerge as the #2 WR when his competition was an aging veteran, a talented youngster with huge personal issues on/off the field (Titus Young) and a rookie with injury problems. The opportunity was there.

I'm never against taking a look & if anyone can reveal a player's untapped potential, it would be the Saints ... but take a good, long look at this guy before committing, eh?

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

He just wore the wrong damn cleats! :p

Re: Brian Robiskie released from Lions
 

Yeah, Bell bounced around. Wore the wrong cleats in the SB signed a big FA contract and bounced right out of the league!!
