Film Breakdown: Kenny Robinson


Untouchable

I would rather have a coverage ballhawking FS than a tackling FS. He has potential for sure. I really hope him and Chinn become a good tandem, they have all of the physical tools that we fans have dreamed about for so long in the safety position.  

Boston finally got a multiyear deal and is immediately upgraded in the draft. Competition is going to be fun to watch for once in this unit.

Hey, strength of deep coverage is what I want to see in a FS. I've been begging for a true over the top sideline to sideline FS for years. Hopefully this guy can develop into that.

You and me both, brother! 

Going back to the first post citing "glut of safeties."  Warm bodies does not constitute a glut.  I guess all the guys listed a DBs on the roster is being assumed as safeties.  I can honestly say, none of those guys would be on many other team's 53.  The 4 guys listed as actual safeties will more than likely be our depth chart for that position.  Those 'DB' guys...one, at most, will stick.

Most modern NFL teams value the safety position enough to try to have 4 legitimate safeties on the roster.  Hopefully we finally have that now.

In years past, we hit a couple of one-year wonders (Mike Mitchell in 2013 & Kurt Coleman in 2015) but for the most part over the last decade, we have had 2 starters who would not have started for many teams and Colin Jones backing them up.

I think the plan is good for Boston and Burris to be the starters going into TC and see what we have with Chinn & Robinson.  The rest of the safeties are camp fodder unless injuries.

    • I hope he finds his lane in year 2.  Now that we signed Walker, I'm really intrigued how Dan feels about the DL. Is there a piece there in R1 that presents value/BPA and fills a void for one of the spots w/ DB and Wharton.  I'll give Wharton another year to show us why he was signed here. With A'Shawn gone, I don't think BBIII is it.  Our edges are set and our LBs are balanced. Horn/Mike Jack and Moehrig will hold the secondary together. DB is, well...DB.  However, I think this is an area that is the biggest question mark right now. I see 1 of 3 spots that are locked and loaded for us. If we move to a 4 down front, I assume Phillips would slide down to be the additional linemen, but we still have questions about the other two spots in either scheme.  I'd feel better with a tradeback, but I do wonder how McDonald would do here. Maybe Woods....but McDonald really does peek my interest.  Or, can Jackson take that next step. The coaching staff speaks highly of him for what little he played. Here's hoping he stays healthy and comes into TC with something to prove. There's a spot to be taken, here's hoping he takes it.
    • Not many people talking about DT, but we have a need.  (DE)  Now this guy is a NT like Brown III
