Football Black Hole Delusions: Faiders mortally wound the Chiefs (funny read)

T-post Tom · 11:19 PM

(Apologies in advance for the emoji overuse. Couldn't help myself.)

Demarcus Robinson Left Kansas City Chiefs for Las Vegas Raiders
Demarcus Robinson snubbed the Kansas City Chiefs when he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, and he sure is glad that he did.

HENDERSON, Nev.-The Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis raided the New England Patriots to get Josh McDaniels to come to the desert to run the Silver and Black.

Following his lead, McDaniels and Ziegler dealt a brutal blow

to their fellow AFC arch-rival the Kansas City Chiefs when they signed free agent WR Demarcus Robinson.

Shortly after signing Robinson, the Raiders' brain trust

then signed Davante Adams. Not only was the signing of Adams a monumental move for the Silver and Black, but his contract also sent the Chiefs' plans of signing star WR Tyreek Hill spiraling off course.

There is no way that the Chiefs would have let Robinson go,

had they thought they would lose Hill, and now the Raiders by signing Robinson, and Hill, have mortally wounded the Chiefs' perennial stronghold on the AFC West crown.

Wide Receiver Demarcus Robinson

Q: Having played with the Chiefs, is it still an adjustment to put on the Silver and Black and seeing things from this side?

Robinson: “Yeah, the last six years I looked at the Raiders as a rivalry. But now I call it home, so it’s just good to get in here and get acquainted with all the players and start learning the playbook.”

Q: Could you see the improvements this team was making from your vantage point when you were with the Chiefs ?

Robinson: “Yes, very much so. Guys are in here competing and trying to make the team better every day.”

Q: What jumps out about this offense that you’re trying to pick up? What do you like about it? First takeaways from the system?

Robinson: “It was just different than where I came from. Great offense. A lot of places to be moved around so you can make multiple plays in the slot, outside. So, just trying to learn everywhere so I can be everywhere on the field.”

Q: What’s it like being part of such a competitive wide receiver room?

Robinson: “It’s good, man. It’s a lot of great guys on the field, so it opens up a lot. It shouldn’t be too hard to get open.”

Q: Anything in particular that you’ve taken from Davante Adams in your short time together?

Robinson: “Oh yes, everything. Davante and I would say Hunter [Renfrow]. Davante has got nice releases, everybody knows that. Taking a lot of stuff from him. Late hands, catching the ball, how to track the ball. There is a lot of stuff you can learn from both of those guys.”

Q: How explosive can this offense be?

Robinson: “It could be just as explosive as any offense in the league. That’s what we are working towards right now. Just trying to get acquainted with everybody, so everybody can be on the same page.”

Q: As a receiver how do you kind of maximize the opportunities you get when you are coming into a room with so many guys that draw targets?

Robinson: “Yeah, that’s a good thing for me and other guys on the team. Once somebody else is getting a lot of targets like Davante, Hunter, Darren [Waller], then it just opens it up for whoever else is on the field trying to get one-on-one type coverage because those guys probably will be double covered if not once probably most of the time.”

Q: What was your outside view of Derek Carr after playing against him the past six years?

Robinson: “Nice, smart guy, always looking to make the right plays. We are growing together right now.”

Q: When you sized up your opportunities when you hit free agency, what about this particular team stood out for you?

Robinson: “Just opportunity. Josh [McDaniels] gave me a great opportunity to come here to be able to play with a great group of guys, and it’s just going to be able to open stuff up for me to be able to make plays happen for this team also.”

Q: How was the first day in pads?

Robinson: “It was nice. It was a bit humid today. It’s usually dry out here and we don’t usually get that much sweat in, but today it was pretty humid. It felt like Florida.”

Q: Did you feel any extra level of competition and intensity with the pads?

Robinson: “Oh, yeah. Once you get the pads on it turns into more intense and more physical ball, and that’s what we look forward to, trying to get that physicalness going on and I think we did pretty good after today.”

Q: How is this heat compared to what you felt in Missouri (with the Chiefs) this time of year?

Robinson: “Honestly, this is probably the hottest place I’ve ever lived in. Missouri gets it, but snow, sleet, hail, rain, all that type of weather. And here it’s hot. Straight hot.”

Q: What are your observations on the loaded AFC West division?

Robinson: “I don’t even know about any other teams. I’m just focusing on us.”

Oh no, how will we ever survive losing the most under-productive WR I've ever seen. The ****ing guy played almost 60% of our offensive snaps and had 25 catches. Playing with the best QB and HC in what is one of the most pass heavy teams in the league. He had single coverage every play because he had the best TE ever and most dangerous WR ever and the ****ing loser could only manage 25 catches in damn near 700 snaps.

Whatever will we do. The

sure ****ed us over!

Yup. Can't believe how shitty he was here.

"easy to get open"

lul after playing with Kelce and Hill. It may be easy for other WR's to get open, but I don't think he was referring to himself.

Rasputin · 07-29-2022, 02:39 AM

Can't wait for him to use his trademark move The Two Steps Back and get gang tackled.

his total yardage as a chief would be over 500 more if he didn't go backwards

chiefzilla1501 · 07-29-2022, 05:02 AM

Lol, so they think losing tyreek hill would have bumped him up the receiver chart? He is a scramble drill receiver. That’s it. He isn’t going to be more than that kind of role player. It was a nice option when we have all the attention going to kelce and hill. But it was a terrible option when hill was injured. It was a worthless option once it started coming with third down drops. And those third down drops were especially costly when we needed to chunk together 10 play drives.

chiefzilla1501 · 07-29-2022, 05:05 AM

Much of his success came off scramble drill. He doesn’t do well in a structured offense but to his credit he played decent when mahomes was forced to improvise. Not going to see nearly as much of that activity with Derek carr.

TEX · 07-29-2022, 05:50 AM

There is some truth there, especially regarding the affect of the Devonte Adams contract on Tyreek Hill...The Raiders are loaded at WR and they have a great TE. Their offense will be very good. A lot will depend on Carr as to how good.

FlaChief58 · 07-29-2022, 05:53 AM

Oh how will we ever survive without d-robs negative yards?

lawrenceRaider · 07-29-2022, 06:03 AM

I can tell a lot of people didn't even read the article/interview.

Adams took LESS money to be a Raider and his contract still shoved Hill out the door to Miami.

Was a great move by the Raiders.

D-Rob is fighting for the 4th WR spot and likely won't win it.

Sports writers are shit these days. Any dumbass can post bullshit and pass it off as journalism…

24 hour news cycle, blogs, YouTubee videos, etc.

Plenty of competition. So folks look for any story they can find.

Spott · 07-29-2022, 07:03 AM

The only thing that’s worse than having Demarcus Robinson as your WR is to have Carr as your QB.

Sofa King · 07-29-2022, 07:48 AM

I'm so happy this guy is gone. It's euphoria.
