Saints' Lewis passionately backs Robinson

METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton didn’t give any indication Monday as to whether he intends to make a permanent change at the cornerback position after starter Patrick Robinson was demoted to the nickel back role during Sunday’s 26-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

However, fellow cornerback Keenan Lewis offered a passionate defense of his teammate Monday morning, after Robinson took a brunt of the criticism following the defeat.

“I’m going to root for him until the end. That’s my brother, and I feel he is one of the best in the league,” Lewis said, according to The Times-Picayune.

It was the costly penalties that were the issue, more than the big play. And if the coverage wasn't blown there at the end, his penalty there would have also pushed them closer.
Lewis is supporting him because they stick together as a D unit, and good for him, but come on.

Although I am highly critical of P. Robinson I don't want Sean Payton to lose the players confidence and respect by this decision. Now with that said, next man up Corey White "PROVE PAYTON MADE THE RIGHT DECISION"

The penalty would have just got them 5 yds and a meaningless 1st down; still a makeable FG.

The Saints defense looked like the Keystone Kops on that play.

.

Just to be devil advocate, he did miss one field goal of 44 yards. Now throw more salt on P Robinson, he drew a penalty & Cundiff made a 32 yd field goal

Love the support but this is why players play and coaches coach and make the decisions. Next man up.

Lewis is teaching Khiry how to stand by your team mates without pissing the fans off.

It's great to have his back. But really. He is not who we though he was.

Khiry got the reddazz at some fans on twitter and called them fake... Presumably for dogging on his team mates. I say that because Khiry is one player that I can say gives every ounce of soul he has to each run and there isnt anything to give him cr4p about.

You guys need to stop with this BS! Pat is not the only player who has had a bad start to the season. No changes are needed right now and if you call yourself a real Saints fan...you should know a few things about Bad Games!

I back PRob also. Back to 2nd string that is....

He looks lost. Sorry but this game comes with scrutiny. Everyone knows that.

I don't think anyone here blames our 0-2 start solely on PRob. But I think its well known that he isn't "helping his own cause." This was his year to prove himself. Its not like he's had a bunch of good seasons prior to this one that he or fans can fall back on.

The defense as a unit has been terrible. And PRob has not played well against the Falcons or the lowly Browns. Its not like the Browns are an offensive juggernaut. The defense deserves its criticism and so does PRob.

Sorry Hagan,
I have to disagree with you on this one. We drafted this guy 4 years ago in hopes of him becoming a solid corner. Robinson has looked bad in more than a handful of games. Whether it was in Spaggs system, The Big Lebowski (Ryan), injuries or whatever, he is flat out lost & confused. I understand the pass rush has been lacking thus far, but mentally I don't think PRob is there & his confidence seems to be broken. The body language tells the story for me.

We have allowed him more than enough opportunities to succeed, however he simply isn't that good. Wasn't SJB drafted in the 2nd round? Is Dixon up for the challenge? CWhite? As another poster stated... next man up.

Looks like Robinson is the problem:

Not only was pat Robinson late on following the motion man, when the play starts he tries to tackle the guy that Byrd and lofton double cover and completely left his assignment wide open

He needs to go

I still have yet to watch the game, last night I began clearing some of the DVR by watching the Falcons wonderful loss and the LSU win...

I don't tend to rewatch losses lol I read the analysis of the last play with gifs, it was still tough to watch

Corey white and Keenan Lewis double cover the same man
Patrick Robinson tries to tackle a double covered receiver and the lone receiver would have walked into the end zone if hoyer would have thrown a better pass

Disaster all around

The fact we have 2 sacks on the season is embarrassing, the whole D line need to step up, including Cam Jordan

I think you my be right. I wish we could see the stats on what type of coverage they were in when we gave up a reception.

I'm sure the coaching staff takes that into consideration.

jnormand 09-16-2014 02:36 PM

Re: Saints' Lewis passionately backs Robinson
 
I don't give a **** if PRob stays or goes, gets cut or starts, wears blue shoes or black shoes, just fix the defense Rob Ryan.

now I think it's time to demote Sean Payton from callin offensive plays. I honestly thought he was gonna use our workhorse RB's more especially after the suspension and after seeing Mark Ingram averaging 8 yards per carry in the game. How do you only give this guy 11 touches for the game ? ?? Drew Brees can't to it alone . . RUN THE FN BALL DAMMITT ! ! !! ! ! ! !

The offense is 2nd in both yards and points so far but you think Payton needs to give up play calling?

You've got some really high expectations.

Week 1: 42 pass attempts, 28 rush attempts
Week 2: 40 pass attempts, 27 rush attempts

That's a perfect balance for our team in my opinion.
When a team has an elite QB like we do, it's probably wise to be a little pass heavy.. That's the strength of our team, and I think we should utilize it more often than not. We need to use the pass to set up the run, not the other way around. I have no complaints with Sean's playcalling.

NOLA54 09-16-2014 09:23 PM

Re: Saints' Lewis passionately backs Robinson
 
The defense gets penalties because of a lack of focus and the offense stumbles under pressure. It keeps one in a high state of pissifissity!

I agree with your assessment but if all 3 rbs avg close to 5 yds you keep pushing the rock to make at least one of those safeties come up to defend the runs, Stevie Wonder can see they were more concern about being beat deep than the running backs busting one open.

Re: Saints' Lewis passionately backs Robinson
 
Agree
If the run is working better and you are moving the ball consistently well keep running.
Ingram having a injury may have affected that gameplan though

dizzle88 09-17-2014 03:31 PM

Re: Saints' Lewis passionately backs Robinson
 
Not only was Ingram running the ball well but did anyone see him juke out nearly the browns entire defense when Brees threw to him in flat.

Such a shame he got injured, hope he can come back soon

Re: Saints' Lewis passionately backs Robinson
 
PFF has Keenan Lewis as the worst CB in the NFL? The scheme is crap. I think everyone wondered what was going on when we saw the secondary playing a half a mile off the receivers.
