GRob

But... only if we'd given him one more chance....

 

[PhillyRam]

Imagine if they would have drafted Flowers a year later to play RT instead of Gurely ...OMFG!! That would have been a disaster.

Hopefully the rumors that they liked him (Giants took him ahead of Gurely), were a smoke screen. Otherwise they need help scouting OTs.

In before Champ posts in his defense!!!

Fixed that for you, Fisher is gone.

He could throw a 50-yard pass from his knees while doing a back flip tho

And the guy that sacked Goff at the end of the 2nd quarter....Kerrigan...has eaten him for lunch two game now....but Havenstein gets a pass cause...what? Oh yeah, no sacks allowed in 2015...

Again....why didn't we want G-Rob? Cause you guys don't like the holds? Cause Coach Boudreau was so competent? Cause Whitworth is so much better? Oh yeah, he gave up a sack too...think he had a false start....

Whitworth is much better than Grob surely you will admit that. I mean there is no comparison really.

Stunned that anyone can defend Robinson... I guess I have not paid any attention to the post trade GRob threads. Wondered why they were so long... now I know.

 

[PhillyRam]

Looked great on 1st play of 2nd half. Lol!!!

Knocked on his butt on a sweep.

I said BUST a couple years ago .

 

[bubbaramfan]

The deal with GRob is that he needs one on one coaching and teams just don't have the time to do that. They have other players that need coaching.

You mean Brian Quick right?

Wait a minute, no he is the one that can moonwalk 2 feet off the ground while juggling footballs.

He's a 12 year vet....Yet he gave up a sack....and jumps offsides....it happens...guys get a little too over the top with a very difficult position to play...Greg is gonna get better.....

Same with Flowers....but I KNOW he's more of a right tackle due to his footwork.

I'm curious, how many holding penalties and qb pressures and sacks do you think Whitworth gave up his first 3 or 5 years starting? His whole career? I'd bet less than GRob in 3 years but that'll be hard to find out.

Come on, is this supposed to be in blue font? The writing is on the wall my friend. Just because Robinson was a Ram, doesn't mean you/we still have to believe he's going to improve because I hate to tell ya..... he's not. Flowers is still really young, so maybe he will improve some. But based on his natural ability, it ain't gonna be much.

Look at Pace, Whitworth, Willams... those LTs have grit and a physical "mean streak" about them. Those tackles you mentioned are passive and soft... with clarity I might add.

Flowers hasn't gotten better. He's the same garbage player he was as a rookie. He's all physical ability and no technical skill. It's impressive how similar he is to Greg Robinson.

Yea, Whitworth gave up a sack on a stunt. How many other times did he get Goff hit in that game? How many sacks has Whitworth given up since 2015?

You're delusional if you're trying to compare an All Pro LT to a bust LT because the All Pro LT occasionally has a negative play.

Reality is that there's no guarantees that Greg or Flowers ever improve. Like many other first round busts, they may just not be cut out for this level of football. It's kind of admirable how steadfast you are in your belief in the players you like, but at some point, you just gotta let it go.

He had his name called more than OBJ.

Should try him at DE, he uses his hands more than a lot of DL.
