He was active, and was on the kick coverage unit. I think I saw him on the field for at least one pass play, but he wasn't targeted while I was watching.

Did Robo see the field today?
I saw him in on a few plays but didn't have any balls thrown his way.

Well at least he was on the field... about time I think.

Ok..Whoopie..I named "a"player in my previous statement that is not on the roster..You get the biggest cookie for calling me out on that..and if that's all you have in order to call the entire statement foolish..save your opinion..because obviously the point I was making was about more than just that one player. Am I saying that Robo should not play ST? Absolutely not..As DC said..he is a rookie..if you are required to play towel boy..water boy..fetch the kick off tee..you do it!
My point was..the entire coaching staff..front office..Mel Kiper..on and on made the claim of Robo being the most NFL ready..NFL polished WR coming out of this past draft.Do I believe that to be true? Hard to say..since he has not had any playing time.Do I believe that our WR corp would be better with him? 100% yes I do! A 3 wideout set of Edwards,MoMass and Robo..a 4 wideot set of those same 3 guys plus Furrey(not Cribbs..he's not a WR IMO..stick to what he does best)seems to be a stronger corp WR and one that you would have more trouble defending.

Robo was taken way to high in the draft, if we had a 3rd rounder we probably could have got him there. That pick should have been used on either Loadholt or Luga both would have been able to start in a place of need.

Technically, he had better stats than Edwards yesterday. They each had zero catches but Robo didn't have any easy drops.

Robo would have gone with the next pick. That is guaranteed.

Let them have him.
I'm not going to go ballistic about the kid not playing like everyone else.
But at this very early juncture...Loadholt then MoMass looks a heck of a lot better in hindsight.
I understood our need to stock the WR cupboard...just didn't like the Robiskie pick.

It's ironic that most people liked Robo and banged on Mass, yet it's Mass that took a big stride.
I liked taking two receivers in the 2nd round because I believed the odds of finding one good player were greatly enhanced. While one good game doesn't make him a good player, it says the talent can be honed into one. So if Robo turns out to be a complete bust (which it's WAY WAY WAY too early to say he won't be any good) the two selections would have been worth it as long as Mass turns into a player.
***Gordon, I really didn't think you could be this stOOpid, but you exceeded my expectations. Wussy.
Manziel, see Josh Gordon. Dumbass.***

I was thinking the same thing.
I think we did the same thing with drafting two 6th round corners...obviously it's a longer shot coming later in the draft.

If we didn't have so many holes, I don't think it would be crazy to take two QB's and see what happens.
Please read the former part of that sentence before ripping me for the latter.

There's precedent: The Cowboys took 2 QB's in 1989: Steve Walsh and Troy Aikman.

I get sick when I think of the QB's we passed on in the last 5 years.
I honestly think this team would have drafted better over the years if they would have had an on-line poll.

But let's be honest, 48 hours ago there is no way you would have even included MoMass in there because he hadn't done anything either.. We can't let high draft picks values fluctuate that rapidly based on limited information... and I think Mack has looked pretty good.... If Mack turns out to be a good long term center, MoMass turns into a solid #2, even a #1.... then even if Robiskie is nothing more than a good #3 possession receiver his whole career, that's still a pretty decent draft.

That would be epic.
How about a RT and five QB's?

The issue with Robo has been the emergence of Furrey, the Cribbs experiment, and the staff liking what MoMass can do/skill sets. I would imagine that with the realization that Cribbs isnt a #2 that they will find a way to sneak him on the field. At least he was active last game and on the field with special teams.

I was speaking to an off-line OSU Homer about Robiskie the other day and he was outraged that he hadn't seen the field yet, let alone taken the #1 slot. My reply that the season is young and so was he fell on deaf ears.
I suspect the team is going to look different by the end of the season.

Some nervous shotgun snaps and some early blown assignments are virtually guaranteed for ROOKIE centers. More important than how he looked the first game is how his development has gone, and over the course of the first month, he clearly has gotten better. I doubt anyone whose watched all the games can disagree.Quote:

Decent draft my freckled arse, that's an AMAZING draft.
To have your first three picks turn out to be central contributors to a team is very uncommon. One look at all 11 of our drafts will show we haven't done that yet.
