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.

That’s my brother, and I feel he is one of the best in the league,” Lewis said

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