Auburn was a heavy running team last year. Crazy Robinson is rated so high when they say he doesn't know how to pass block

"A handful of scouts and others I trust think the safer pick at tackle would be Matthews, rather than Robinson. They say it's because Robinson still has to learn to pass block, and that's risky."

From the article...

 

 

Who's overrated? I also asked those same personnel people for a handful of players who they think are overrated. The names that were mentioned:

 

Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
Morgan Moses, T, Virginia
Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame
Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame
Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri
Kyle Van Noy, OLB, BYU
Jeremiah Attaochu, DE, Georgia Tech
Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State

 

I would disagree on Moses, Nix and Van Noy. But that's why they get paid to do it, and I don't.

I agree with a lot of that list. There's not a lot of depth when it comes to the front 7 players in this year's draft, so a lot of players get propped up. The one guy I really disagree with is Teddy Bridgewater, because saying he's overrated implies that there's some sort of consensus -- there isn't. He's all over the place depending on which scout you ask.

i know there has been talk about a DE in the first for us.

 

I've watched a bit on this Ealy guy. And he doesn't pop at all for me. Looks like a 3rd or 4th rounder. Am i just missing something?

 

Whatever you're missing, I'm missing it too.

 

The tape I've watched of him just doesn't show me anything special.

Agreed. He's got very good lateral agility so he can dip and bend, but he's just not that explosive.

Auburn threw the ball 284 times last year.

 

Yeah, that ain't like the Mike Leach Air Raid, but almost 300 passes is still a pretty significant sample.  And Robinson didn't perpetually struggle or get constantly owned on those passing downs.  He was consistent and held his own on passing downs all year.

Thank god I'm not the only one who thinks Gilbert is overrated. Dude is so scared of contact it's unreal and can't/won't shed a block to help defend the run game.

I was also expecting to see Brandon Cooks on this list, you can quote me as saying he's not a first round receiver.

I'm still trying to polish up my final rankings but I'd take all of these receivers over Cooks.(in order)....

1. Watkins

2. Evans

3. Beckham

4. Robinson

5. Lee

6. Matthews

7.Benjamin

8. Latimer

Know who else was scared of contact and couldn't/wouldn't shed a block to help defend the run game?

 

Deion Sanders.

 

Now, I'm not saying Gilbert is another Deion Sanders, I'm just saying that if his pass defense is outstanding, sometimes you're willing to give a little in the run game for the shut-down corner.

 

The question is, is Gilbert a shut-down corner?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
