9 games, inactive for all of them (yes, he was injured for the early part of the season). The Giants have carried him for a reason, and they need to find our what they have in him.
The run blocking by Myers and Donnell is almost non-existent.
The Packers are not a great defense, so a good time to get Robinson on the field to see if he can contribute.
This guy was known for his blocking in college, I can't believe after he has now practiced fully for 3 weeks that he wouldn't be an upgrade on what they have put out there....at least for blocking.
There's not a lot of TEs on NFL rosters like that, nevermind #1 TEs.
the reality is if they are not doing what they need to do in practice and dont apply what they learned in film study they probably WONT do it on the field either.. which hurts the team...
the game is not to "find out what they have"..
-Antonio Cromartie
Donnell can't run a pattern without falling down or running out of the end zone.....
Yet, the JPP of TE's, still can't get out on the field....
Myers can't block, which is a real problem considering that most of our OL can't either. He's also still learning the offense.
Donnell. Who? Oh yeah, he's the guy who can't stay in bounds.
Robinson. Can't stay healthy.
Pascoe. What does he do?
The whole position is a waste, but we might have a little more production if the offense wasn't so complicated. TEs, OL, RBs, and WRs, nobody is ever on the same page
look around the league - most of the great offenses have one of these guys. that's what we're missing right now (in addition to the interior line, of course).

Perfectly said. I would only add his winning pedigree having played for the Raiders.

to the tune that he wasn't coming along very quickly in his development was fairly damning
I keyed on Robinson a lot during the preseason and some in the Dallas game prior to his injury and he did look strong at the POA. I really want to see him back out there if he is progressing during practice sessions. I realize the coaches know best but this guy did bulk up from last year to this year and he appears to know how to lock on to the defender and hold his block. Would definitely allow us to run wide again instead of between the tackles. Could be a nice little spark to our OFF but coaches have to trust he is getting the job done in practice.
2) It's time for everyone to find out whether they have anything in Robinson or not.
if Coughlin and Mike Pope see this guy practice and deem him either a) not healthy enough to play or b) not good enough to play, then i think we can trust their judgment over yours, considering you haven't watched adrien robinson in practice.
fair, or not?
Let's face it.....it's safer to not put him in for fear of the "unknown", but the "known" ain't all that great either.
Perhaps they just slowly work him in?
A: I don’t know. The injury he has for a guy his size took a long time to heal, hopefully it has healed. He should be back at practice this week. He’s in the bounds of about 280 pounds, so he certainly has the physical structure and as a young player who hasn’t played a great deal, when players of this kind miss practice, you don’t learn to pilot the space shuttle in a flight simulator. That’s the thing he hasn’t had the chance to do, actually get in the activity, in the game situations. It seems just when he’s ready to make a move and we have plans to get him in the game, he’s unfortunately been hit with an injury. Hopefully he’ll contribute in the second half here, but being on the sideline has not replaced his game experience. That’s what Donnell has had somewhat and Robinson has not.
(I kid, I kid)
UDFA Donnell who doesn't know how to stay in bounds is playing ahead of him.
isn't JPP the hurt and out of shape JPP?

Robinson got hurt in the final pre-season game vs. New England, and has not played since.
Which Dallas game are you referring to?
make one throw to a TE ..?
Is that normal ?
