Patrick Robinson: A Chance To Start Fresh

The system fits his skill set, he's healthy, and the opportunity is there. It's time to blossom P-Rob. If he can play up to his ability, there is no stopping our defense. We can be virtually shut down everywhere.

Let's do the damn thing.

Can you explain how the system fits his skill set? Especially when we run a press man coverage and he struggles with press man coverage??

Because he plays better in man coverage than zone. He has outstanding athleticism and while he may struggle jamming receivers at the line, we don't strictly press. He's tough to be deep and due to the fact we run a lot of formations with 5 or 6 defensive backs, even if he misses his initial punch, he has the speed to make up for it and/or he has elite help over the top. With his ability and the way Ryan gets the most out of his players, I can't help but be intrigued and excited of what he could possibly do.

We don't run press man coverage only. We VERY often do combo coverages to disguise things. Greer spent a ton of time last year playing off-man and even zone on his side while Keenan played up on the line. It wasn't until White became starter that we started getting really aggressive and putting everybody up on the line. That's risky; when you get beat, you get beat BAD. We're going to need players who can run down the field too.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
