The "Rocky Mountain News" is laughable. "he felt sluggish and his responsibilities protecting two gaps in the middle of the line were the antithesis of his attacking sensibilities. Robertson had made it work in that spot for two seasons with the New York Jets." He did? We were 4-12. "but his progress has spiked upward in the past month. "I thought it was going to be better. I'm talking about my play," said Robertson, who Sunday returns to the Meadowlands for the first time since his exit from the Jets (2:15 p.m. MST, CBS 4). "My play so far has not lived up to my standards." Well, no shit, Sherlock. Your team is floundering and your play is not helping, even though you're supposedly in your best spot. "When Robertson arrived in Denver, the Broncos, wanting to ensure he could last the long haul, eased him into workouts. Also recovering from wrist surgery, Robertson participated sparingly in minicamps and preseason games. And when the regular season began, he was somewhat rusty, especially in terms of playing his proper stance and with timing." That's because his is one lazy son of a bitch and you're not feeding him enough fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. He'll come around, just stop making him work so hard and make him think Herm Edwards is still around to hold his hand. "The Broncos, who got Robertson for a bargain-basement price, plugged him right into the heart of their one-gap scheme up front." Bargain basement? You have got to be fucking kidding me. "Robertson is playing at his preferred weight of about 308 pounds. And, though his statistics don't jump off the page - he has made 30 tackles to date - Johnson is seeing "hidden production," such as Robertson disrupting blocking schemes and playing strong on his blocks." Hidden production? Oh Lord, spare me. I'm splitting my sides now with laughter. "The simple matter of the story is it's a guy who's getting a feel for where we're at and what're doing," Johnson said. "And he's starting to contribute a little better in his role and for what he's doing." Starting to contribute "a little better," for "waht he is doing?" Unbelievable how the press can make a chocolate eclair from a turd when they put their minds to it.
D-Rob sucks bottom line he isnt on the NYJETS roster any longer. NOTHING is better than NOT seeing him in a NYJETS uniform.
We did good just getting this damaged merchandise off the payroll. Don't forget about this: "Robertson's slow start might be tied to the caution taken with his left knee, which has been worn down to a nearly bone-on-bone condition since a college injury." We were nuts to draft him (and move up, no less) to where we got him. At least he's gone now and we've moved on. But it's unbelievable how this newspaper still finds the positives with this guy. He's a complete bust.
Players we could actually draft without trading? With 13th pick? 13: Ty Warren (Damn good DE for 3-4 system - or gap-shooting DT) 16: Troy Polamalu. (Polamalu at SS, and Rhodes at FS - that would have been so sick.) With 22nd pick: 24: Dallas Clark 27: Larry Johnson 29: Nick Barnett 31: Nnamdi Asomugha Really, Bradway is the closest thing you can get to a retard when it comes to GM work.
the whole article could have been written about gholsten accept for the part where he's 'starting' to contribute a tiny bit.
Yeah that's one of the worst draft day trades in history of pro sports. That first round was absolutely loaded with talent and we could have had two picks. Whatever though, we have Jenkins now.
Absolutely loaded with talent? I'm not saying it was a good move, but heck the draft was NOT even close to being loaded with talent. It sucked that year.
