No if anything him and Byron are the 100% complete opposite

Byron was such a good athlete that they thought "oh yeah we can throw him anywhere". Robinson isn't that great of an athlete but has experience in multiple positions and has good length. Byron was an elite athlete so they thought he should be able to stick anywhere, Robinson isn't that good of an athlete so they have to test the waters and see if he can start anywhere even in a limited role

Robinsons draft profile was literally "likely move inside to slot corner or safety" "project player, corner ? safety ? punt return ? kickoff returner ?, teams will have to find where he can stick". Cowboys aren't pulling a byron, there literally following his draft status ("project player that will have to test the waters")

I agree, Byron possesses freakish athletic ability. While Robinson is not that, he's still athletic enough to switch to the safety position and do well. It just takes a little getting used to and an above average understanding of football. I agree with you however, It's the complete opposite of what we experienced with Byron.

This should help you to feel a little better.

Yes thanks.

Also nice point on Hyatt.

Any CB truly doesn't compare to Byron athletically. I disagree in that Robinson's knock is his athleticism, especially for his size. As you mentioned, he was safety out of high school, but played CB all college, aside from his redshirt year. Byron did play both safety and corner at UCONN. Prospect-wise, sure they aren't the same. But the situation of moving them around is. Hopefully the position they start with Robinson is the correct one, unlike with Byron.

If anyone hears anything on La'ell injury status update....please share.

Time is getting short on that and I'm getting the idea its going to Knight at RT vs Rams.

he is not injured he came in out of shape and in not good enough condition to practice.

[Risen Star]

Prescott seems in midseason form.

 

[fivetwos]

Havent heard much on Donovan Wilson....(great camp last year but nothing this year? Odd)

Or anything at all on Joe Jackson.

If anyone has heard anything pls share. Thx.

I’m stunned we haven’t had a run of Dak “overthrow” and “Int” posts after my first set of tweets

Edit: Dang Risen! You got there

 

[McKDaddy]

its like these players sit around and brainstorm ways to hurt the team & themselves. really disappointed that Lael would allow this to happen. his issue playing T has always been his weight. when he slims down he plays well. when he tubbs up, it gets ugly.

do you think he had Covid & is suffering the long term respiratory issues? would explain why team hasn't seemed more agitated about his situation .....

 

[fivetwos]

What all the picks? Lol

Nah that's just the new ballhawk strategy by Al Harris taking effect at a high level pretty much instantaneously.

I saw something yesterday that indicated Wilson was doing pretty well but i guess since he plays SS like XWoods its not getting the pub of FS. Would like more details for sure.

 

[McKDaddy]

my sense is that they think he can contribute but know he is raw. trying to find flexibility in our secondary while getting him reps.

All the picks and all the acrobatic catches from Lamb.

The guy is a stiff.

That was my point. People where saying this is another Byron jones situation all over again when it isn't. Robinson is drafted and encouraged to try multiple positions to see if he is NFL worthy in any of them. Byron was forced to a position of need which is completely different

 

[BigTimeBlues]

ANAEEEEE

 

[Sydla]

Is that our DE rotation? Not bad. Also reports have suggested Armstrong has been decent as well.

 

[stilltheguru]

Evidence ? He was literally a 3 star recruit as a safety (that's the position he played in junior high and highschool). He redshirted as a safety and then moved to corner after his redshirt year.

So high school? Ok cool

 

[Hennessy_King]

Where is concrete evidence that he has safety experience? Theres barely any video of him period.

He hasn't played safety since HS. Why they just don't sign earl thomas boggles my mind. This secondary could be a potential disaster this year if they are banking on chido.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

The safety situation is scary.

So we’ve tried HaHa, Thompson, Wilson, Awuzie, Worley, Robinson.

Still no starter

I didn't know they tried Auwzie and Worley at safety. I thought that was just click bait talk. Are you sure they actually tried those guys there? Because I really think that was just the media's B.S.
