I'm not basing the grade of the whole secondary on Dante Robinson. Where did you get that from?

Huh? You just said that the secondary is only as good as it's weakest player. So if the weakest player isn't good, logically that means that the secondary isn't good either.

Seriously, how many teams in the league have a better nickel corner than Dunta Robinson? Hell, he would start on a few teams around the league.

I'll definitely be at the Browns game and will probably go to the 3 division games, too.

We are gonna have a room for before and after the Browns game, but our sons will be with us and we will probably have a somewhat early night.

The only reason we are getting the room is because we know we are gonna be drinking, I'll hit you guys up when the time gets closer.

Lol. Poor Blaine

Flowers isn't big. At all.

In Danta, I see a guy a year past his usefulness that is no better than a 4th corner... or a borderline starting-quality safety.

Tell you what...

I'd be willing to bet that Robinson gives up more catches per snap than either of our starting corners if he plays a minimum or like 100 plays.

Interested?

True, but he sure does "play big"

It was pretty obvious last year that Dunta wasn't much of a corner anymore. Why the hell did Dorsey give him a big contract? Arenas was too small, but he wasn't terrible as a nickel.

I completely agree on Arenas. Not sure what happened there, but I will always think he should have been retained. I bet he went to them asking for a LTD and they balked and he awed to be traded and they obliged him.

At least that's my guess.

The only people that think Danta is still the same corner he was 3 years ago are people that didn't watch many games of Atlantas last year.

I follow them very closely because I draft for them every year in the CP mock, bet on them a lot (those SOBs ****ed me a lot last year), had a couple players of theirs on my fantasy teams and genuinely like the team they have built.

Matt Ryan covered up a lot of the messes Danta Robinson made and it's astounding that Dorsey gave him that much money.

What kind of Pass Rush does ATL have?
I seem to remember, from the little I saw, thinking that opposing QBs had an awful lot of time back there, no?
Not trying to make excuses for DUNTA, just wondering if memory serves me correctly.

[beach tribe]

28 sacks on the year. Looks like the ol memory is not too bad.

[BossChief]

Actually, Atlanta had 29 sacks.

KC had 27.

No one is expecting Dunta of 3 years ago. He's a nickel corner now. He was a starting corner back then. He's in a role where he'll face the 3rd best WR the offense has 90% of the time instead of the best or 2nd best like he did last year.
