Aldrick Robinson...got some speed right? Get him in there.

I believe we signed him from sad diego's PS.

God

Seriously when B Mitch said he wanted to see him last week, i turned the TV off. We've seen Beck, I dont want to see QB play worse than that, and Beck's QB play hurt my soul.

I know it a business but that is pretty bad of a team to release the guy 4 days before the last game.

Weak runner who falls down easily at initial contact. Never can get the extra yards.
Horrible receiving back. Can't catch cleanly and lacks agility.
Speed or "burst" terribly lacking. Slowest back of the bunch.
And poor vision. Can't find the right lanes and makes his O-line look worse than they already are.

These are the reasons why he's gone.

Stallworth made the team cuz he had one spectacular play against the Tampa scrubs. He was hardly noticeable for the rest of the preseason.

What took Shanahan so long to promote Robinson to the active roster? The kid struggled in preseason along with Hankerson and Royster. Why wait until the final game. If they were going to release Ryan Torain, they might as well done it sooner. Probably after the Patriots game at least. To allow Robinson to have one game to shine is not to evaluate him properly.

I disagree. Stallworth earned his spot with solid play thoughout the preseason, whereas Robinson did not.

Stallworth made the team because he was a guy who could work with the rookie receivers. There is always more than meets the eye. And since the 'skins have resigned him, Donte' has been having impressive games.

I disagree,with your reasons,if by some way shape or form you get him back to running like he did last year(he has been banged up), I'd take him....and he'll be cheap on the cap.

Good move!! I liked him coming out USC, he was great before his accident. Good gamble.
