Lol, it is pretty sad when an undrafted free agent could play just as well as or better than a third round pick isn't it? :lol:

I still think we need to explore a trade or sign someone. The cornerback position cannot continue to have these guys playing the rest of the year.

Yeah, I didn't like the decision to put him on IR. I suspect he's healthy by now and would do a better job than Robinson.

Couldn't do much worse.
Robinson has now allowed 35-of-38 passes thrown his way to be completed this season for nearly 400 yards."

Holy crap. I thought I had heard something like that, but the numbers didn't seem believable so I thought I was misremembering. Crazy to think that last week was his maybe his best game of the season.
