Re: Redskins rookie signing thread
I'm shocked to hear people suggesting Robinson will be pushed for a roster spot this year. He and Garcon are the only two guys on the roster who can truly stretch a defense. You want a 2nd speed guy in the receiving corps because when you put him and Garcon on the field together the defense has no choice but to back both safeties off a bit, which opens up the slot and the TE down the seam.
If you have only Garcon on the field, you're still a threat to go deep which is good, but a team can roll one safety to him while the other closes down.
There are situations where Robinson gives a major strategic advantage, like 2nd and 2 from the 50. Without a guy like Robinson, you render part of RG3's value (his strong arm) a little bit more moot.
Briscoe is the WR from last year's roster who is most likely to be pushed for a spot - but I doubt anyone beats him out either.
