The return of Koren Robinson? - Page 2

If he's reinstated, it's good news for Charles Woodson. I really don't want him returning punts anymore.

As for the whole 4 WR thing... I don't know. I don't know if our offensive line is good enough to handle that many receivers on the field at one time.

We've played a ton of 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 HB where the only guy staying in to help block is the HB. How is swapping the TE for KR going to affect the blocking?

Blackmon is the PR once his cast comes off. Woodson wouldn't be back there if it weren't for that injury.

with that being said i do however believe he is a solid possesion receiver and would be a nice 4th option for brett on the slants.

If it was the slide show that you're referring to, watch it again, think of how poorly flawed and how grossly moronic the perception given truly is.

I saw that slide show, and I pretty much agreed with it. Tramon Williams has done well returning kicks, and Blackmon should be even better than Williams when his thumb heals. Robinson may eventually be able to beat both of them out for the kick return job, but would he really be THAT much of an upgrade? And as a receiver, he will be the #4 guy at best, even when he gets up to playing speed.

Robinson's greatest value will be in providing depth. And that's assuming he comes back and stays back. He has a long history of being unreliable. Suspensions, missed meetings, dropped pass, etc. I think a lot of fans have blown him out of proportion.

If he doesn't mess up, he could be big! I think he has something to prove, and that could make him a beast on the field.

There's a ton of value in upgrading depth. Right now we have Francies on the regular roster due to WR injuries. We were lucky this week that Jennings was back and Jones' injury wasn't serious enough to hold him out. Favre had trust in Robinson for the short time he played last year and that can only help this season.

With the way our running game has been lately, I think we need Robinson to contribute. As stated, which nickle or dime back is going to be able to cover him? As for KR, Williams has done well, but Robinson was a pro-bowler at it. That's a very nice returning duo to have and it shouldn't be under-estimated.

The guy has a lot to prove due to his suspension. GB is giving him a chance to salvage his career and I doubt he'll just slack off as he did in the past.

GO PACK GO!!!

I agree. Deep teams go deep in January. When injuries become a problem for everybody it will be good for us to be deep at receiver vs. teams having problems finding depth at DB.

The more starting quality depth we have the better. More later than sooner (hopefully) but sooner OR later depth always comes in handy.

He will take us to a full out run and shoot offense... JK.

He is another big target that can exploit the middle of the field and doesn't mind going over it. Can't hurt in my opinion, unless he brings a bad attitude to the locker room with his role as a bit player.

This one definitely needs a bump.

I'd like to see him back. Our PRs/KRs haven't gotten a TD yet, have they? Plus, Ruvell Martin's a decent 4th, but still a work in progress. Imagine having Driver, Jennings, Jones, Koren, and Martin as our 5th. It would drive opposing D's nuts.

I do think we need him mostly for STs though.

Look at the success Detroit has had on offense with their depth at WR. I'm anxious for Koren's return.

Me too. If we're going to have problems running the ball, then let's be so good of a passing team that it doesn't matter. Koren's better than Ruvell Martin. I like Martin, don't get me wrong. But Koren would be an upgrade at WR #4 as someone else said.
