BTTT...
Here\'s some decent info on Robiskie...

Robiskie began the 2000 season as passing game coordinator in Washington and helped the Redskins rank fifth in the NFC in total offense (337.3 yards per game) and passing (228.0 yards per game). He helped running back Stephen Davis total 1,318 yards and 11 touchdowns on 332 attempts, including five 100-yard outings.

I\'ve never heard of a passing game coordinator, but I\'m wondering how that position gets credit for the running backs statistics...

He entered the coaching profession with the Los Angeles Raiders in 1982 as the assistant running backs coach where he tutored Marcus Allen to two Pro Bowls and two 1,000-yard seasons. Robiskie was the assistant special teams coach for the Raiders from 1985-87, and he tutored the Raiders tight ends in 1988.

So the assistant running backs coach was responsible for Marcus Allen\'s two Pro Bowls. Ok I\'ll give it to you. But let\'s compare.
1982 - 1984
Marcus Allen 2879 yards 33 TDs
2002 - 2004
Duece McAllister 4103 yards 30 TDs

Upgrade?

Robiskie was the Raiders offensive coordinator from 1989-93. In 1990, Oakland ranked 9th in the NFL with 126.8 yards rushing per game and QB Jay Schroeder ranked 6th in the NFL with a 90.8 QB rating. In 1992, the Raiders ranked 11th in the NFL with 112.1 yards rushing. In 1993, Oakland ranked 5th in the NFL in passing and 13th in total offense as Robiskie helped QB Jeff Hostetler pass for 3,242 yards and 14 TDs. RobiskieÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢s 12 years with the Raiders included seven playoff stints, four division titles and a victory over the Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII.

Since starting for the Saints, Brooks has never thrown for less than 20 TDs or less than 3500 yards. I\'d say that beats Hostetler\'s numbers listed there. I will say that the fact that Robiskie was in so many playoff appearances is an advantage. A winning attitude is something that mignt be needed here.

Originally an eighth round selection by Oakland in the 1977 NFL Draft, Robiskie was a four-year letter winner and the 1976 SEC MVP as a senior at LSU . Robiskie spent five years in the NFL as a running back with the Raiders (1977-79) and the Miami Dolphins (1980-81), while playing for legendary coaches John Madden, Don Shula and Tom Flores.

AND THERE IT IS... I should\'ve known.

So... Think he may be an improvement over McCarthy? Or over Atkins (if he comes in as RB coach)?

Over McCarthy? No
RBs coach? Yeah, he might be a good addition.
