so if Robinson moves to safety, where he basically has to totally learn that position from scratch
as from i understood he was not a safety in college. And to make it that more complex, with Woods, Ha Ha already in front, and the odd talk of moving Awuzie to safety ...and along with Donovan Wilson already joining
his ex-college A&M coach (Marquis Lindquist)
So at safety this year, where on the depth chart will Robinson end up at ?
As a CB, where early on there's several candidates in the mix as possible starters and backup nickel guys.
i'm assuming the team plans to have Anthony Brown among the three CB roles, though admittedly i'm not a fan of Brown, and definitely don't want him starting outside. That leaves two others which may be opening competition camp and on.
- Will team keep Awuzie at CB ?
- Could rookie Diggs emerge as one of the immediate starters at one of the starting roles ?
- What about vet Darryl Worley who was signed on as a game experience stop gap role ?
- Could we possibly see one of the leftover CBs Awuzie or Jourdan Lewis traded away
before the season ?
- Unless Robinson can impress new coaching regime at some point this year in just his rookie year
to be promoted as the 4th CB and there is a trade that includes leftover CBs Lewis or Awuzie, i just
don't see where Robinson playing time comes from.
-I explained my reasoning on one of my responses. CB Depth is going to make it very difficult for him to see the field this season, where at Safety he may have a quicker path for this season.
-He was a converted safety who was switched to CB on the college level. Nolan's scheme has his safeties play more like corners then the traditional roles.
-I believe the team wants to get his feet wet this season within the defensive sub-packages, we just don't know what type of role they envision him in year 1. Next year is a whole different story as many fa's won't be back and the team will have a entire off-season to work on his development.
