GwinnettColt Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Addai was really good, He just could not stay healthy, He would be right on pace with Gores numbers had he stayed healthy(Probably well ahead actually if he had those 276 carries). Addai actually had more TD's then Gore did through his 6 years in the NFL compared to Gores first 6 years, 48 to 44, as well as rushing 35 to 39....This was with Addai getting 276 less carries in his first 6 years then Gore Addai was good but as you pointed out, inconsistencies kept him from being an Edgerrin James level running back. It also seemed as if he went down upon contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 J.addai also seemed to change his style. ... His rookie yr he was a strong running power back that wouldput his shoulder down and run you over I.e. That run against the Giants week 1.... Also was a good complement to D. Rhodes.... After that he start trying to be a scat back which he did have some good moves but just wasn't his real style to me. .

LJpalmbeacher2 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I think a lot of people got hung up on his lack of top-end speed at his size. I'm certainly not one of them. If he can pick up blocks, I believe he's the future at RB for us.God I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey287 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Blindly (as in not knowing who they were drafted by to prevent bias...not doing it without eyes) I ranked a list of 15 rookie RBs (mostly for my dynasty league purposes) and Robinson came out in the upper half. I was pretty impressed by him. And in the preseason I thought he looked good as well. It's rare for me to think that about our "depth" running backs, so I'm pleasantly surprised by his abilities...hope he keeps it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheezyColt Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I hate to get excited about offensive skill positions like RB and WR, because it's so easy to be blinded, but Robinson had me standing and clapping with his runs tonight. Boom should be a good 3rd down back, but Josh deserves a shot at the #2 next week. Also really rooting for Ballard to grab the #4 spot. If Vargas can earn it so be it, but Tipton needs to begone!

bananabucket Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'm a Robinson fan and he has impressed me as well. But I'd like to see him perform against starters before I crown him as the #2 back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 He's a lot quicker than people give him credit for. Good vision, makes a cut and gone. While I do think he's a little powerful muscle hamster he has plenty of wiggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyColtScout Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Robinson has a future. I dont think he's going to be a pro bowl player. He might end up being a de facto starter because of injuries and produce for a couple year stretch. But thats pretty good value for his pick.

Valpo2004 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I want to know why he isn't seeing reps with the first team... Gore is our #1 back no question, but Robinson should at least be allowed to compete with Boom for the #2 job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyes Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Nice seeing a #34 that can actually run the ball ... looks like we have some great depth at that position, is that going to hurt us in areas we need real help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwing BBZ Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Yeah, I predicted before the first preseason game that he'd be a bust, and I love that he's proving me wrong. The more draft picks we hit on, the better. I hope he continues to impress and improve and soon become our starting rb that we can be proud of. He's putting in hard work, and I hope he produces this year as much as possible and makes me eat crow. Addai was really good, He just could not stay healthy, He would be right on pace with Gores numbers had he stayed healthy(Probably well ahead actually if he had those 276 carries). Addai actually had more TD's then Gore did through his 6 years in the NFL compared to Gores first 6 years, 48 to 44, as well as rushing 35 to 39....This was with Addai getting 276 less carries in his first 6 years then Gore Dancing Joe averaged Under 4 YPC in 3 of his 6 seasons, Gore has Never been under 4 YPC, and was about 2,000 yds behind Gore in rushing yards through 6 seasons. As for rushing TD`s Addai played on a top 5 offense where Gore played on an Offense that averaged about 25th in those 6 years. Addai was Very Good as a blocker, and good as a receiver, as we know, and just mediocre as a runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
