Brian Robinson
 

Who thinks he'll be in Washington next season ? I predict that he will be traded......

Re: Brian Robinson
 

If we had a better defense we might very well be Superbowl Champions right now. So, as much as we need an upgrade at RB imo, the Defense and Oline are more pressing.

Re: Brian Robinson
 

build the trenches. d line is an absolute need. 2nd would be lb depth, 3rd would be secondary, 4th oline, and 5th would be rb. I want to see more push from brob....and i thnk its a need for sure. but there are other more pressing issues, i think. we have a ton of gaps in the entire team....our d really needs some upgrades though.
barkley was shut down tonight, but the eagles dominated regardless. just sayin.

This is a fact.

There are a lot of areas (position groups) where we can improve, but O-line and the defense should be the priority in free agency and the draft.

Re: Brian Robinson
 

Guy had an up and down year and lost it mid way through. His story as a player in this league isn't over and I'm fine with keeping him. RB is not a priority for me this off-season.

Re: Brian Robinson
 

Is there room for improvement? Yes. I'm not a fan of his vision and he seems to only have one move which is being a thumper.

With that being said we do have more pressing needs. If they find an upgrade go for it. If not bring Robinson/Ekeler back for another year.

Re: Brian Robinson
 

If we can pick up a guy with breakaway capability in the later rounds, BRob would be a worthwhile #2 when we need hard yards. I see no reason to trade him, at least not at this point. Plus we likely we wouldn't get much value.

Re: Brian Robinson
 

Unless we find a rb in draft or free agency, he’s likely the starter. If we find someone else, he’s probably the backup but he’s not getting a second contract with us.

Re: Brian Robinson
 

BRob has a place on the team, but he isn’t a starter

We need more speed out the backfield

Re: Brian Robinson
 

When BRob has room to run he is a more than capable back. See the Titans game. We're fine at RB. Sure I'd like to have Gibbs or SaQuan but those guys are few and far between. Way more pressing needs are in the trenches. I think we saw last night and two weeks ago that in order to compete w/ the Eagles, we had better start in that area.

Re: Brian Robinson
 

CRod so far in his career averages just a tad under 5 yards a carry. I actually think he may be better than BRob.

Re: Brian Robinson
 

Our most dangerous runner is #5. One more quality Oline addition in off-season plus Cosmi and Coleman having another year to improve and unning game will be good enough.

CRod has 86 carries in 2 seasons (35 in one season with us). BRob has 565 in 3. It's not unusual for a situational/back up player to have good per play stats but coaches see things in practice etc. that tell them the guy isn't an every down player, except in an emergency. BRob isn't a long term solution much as I like the guy, but CRod isn't that replacement.

Re: Brian Robinson
 

He needs glasses. He has zero vision. He either doesn't see the hole, or he has no patience... or both. He definitely has taken a step back. I would be on the lookout for an upgrade at that position along with many others, but O-line and the defense should be the priority.

Those are fair points but when he is given a chance to really carry the ball he always has production. He has better vision than BRob, seems to me like a more natural pure runner, always going downhill, no nonsense.

But when I look at our team, RB is far down the list. I'd rather invest in the o-line, get better road graders. I don't like Coleman at tackle. I'd slide him down to LG and try and find a real franchise LT.

Re: Brian Robinson
 

If we learned anything from the Eagles this year it’s that line play on both sides of the ball can set you up to dominate.

Sure Barkley is a great back but a lot of guys would have monster seasons running behind that line.

I’d like to upgrade from Robinson but priority number one should be building up the OL.

This.

I felt like we saw what Robinson should look like when Ekeler is on the field, but Ekeler is not a bell-cow running back anymore. I love Ekeler and I want to keep him but I like him as a change-of-pace back.

But yes building the lines should be priority.

Agreed.....

Re: Brian Robinson
 

Wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Still on the rookie contract, he can be depth if we manage to upgrade the position.

Either way though the primary issue was the offensive line getting inadequate push down the stretch. I'd spend my resources in the trenches. We should be pursuing more size.

I'll add to this by saying i think JD made the line look a lot better. They werent terrible, but like you said...down the stretch the run game took a really big hit. An upgrade is def needed on that unit to bring the run game back.

Yep. Biadasz and Cosmi are the mainstays but I'd be looking at every other spot. Even Cosmi needs a strong depth solution because that was a late-season ACL. He might not be himself until 2026.

If we have a chance to get a LT, do it and kick Coleman to RT or inside to LG. He's got a nice athletic profile but we should use it at another spot.

Solid plan......Andrew Wylie is as good as gone......

I'd look for the younger version of Ekeler and move on if possible. He was great this year but the concussions are a concern, I'd at least keep him off kick returns to help save him from some big hits.

Agreed, if I remember right he had 3 concussions last season. It's not a good sign.
