How about he just gets the ball, and lets just see what happens.

it was embarrassing thank god its over. 

That was cruel...but true!  Wonder if they would have let it ride if he was more of, you know, an offensive weapon.  

That article was rough. Damn. Talk about kicking a team while they're down!

If the Jaguars were 3-0 the NFL would be all over Robinson.

What? We drafted him as a RB, gave him the OW position and now he's a WR? Just call him a TE

Now that Gabbert is back there is a chance for someone other than CS3 to actually get looked at.

During the game preview on that page, G-Brad is speaking to Fisch and is so calm about it.

Can't wait to get this man some playmakers to work with!

He can't be listed as a running back anymore because of the number switch. If you play a specific position, which most players do, you have a limited choice of numbers. For running backs 16 is not one of those numbers. Tight ends can't wear it either and he actually never played that position.

 

I understand the logic, but because running backs are not allowed to wear #16, it makes me wonder if this means Denard Robinson can't play the position he was drafted to be without going back to #29 jerseys.

That's actually pretty telling.  It sounds like Bradley is attempting to console a very, very frustrated OC.

It might work with good blocking from the offensive line, but so would a lot of other things.  It certainly was embarrassing to see a fifth round pick hyped as something of a new offensive concept.

Yeah, the ground, five yards in any direction...  :woot:

Stinks that the team is salty or D-Rob would be given a chance to make plays. Oh well, next season will come eventually.

I think a 3-0 team wouldn't use this type of gimmick.  The OW position I thought was cute as a story in the pre-season.  You know, during the long hot  grind of camp over the summer, the whole "Offensive Weapon" thing probably got a few laughs and helped get the players mind of the heat and pain of getting back into football shape--for a little while.

 

But no legit team would do something like creating a position name and roll  with it in the regular season.  I'm sorry, but it's just very lame, silly, and not serious minded enough for the NFL regular season where focus and hard work with no distractions is the key.  I really can't belive they didn't drop the whole OW stuff after the 4th preseason game.  The article makes fun of us because we gave them a perfect reason to make fun of us.  He's called the OW, and he's not even being used?  ugh...

 

This is a small error, no doubt.  Nothing to hemm and haw about, but something that I would hope Bradely learns from...

Never really understood the NFL's desire to standardize every single little minutiae.  One of the downsides of the league.

Lets get him on the field and let him be a weapon!! So far he has not played nearly enough!

Wait a minute...is this just about the stupid "title" or is the NFL dictating that we cannot line him up on any given play wherever we like?...

 

If its just about the stupid "title" of OW, then this is much ado about nothing.

Just the title, and yes, much ado about nothing.

They're not dictating where we can or can't line him up.

 

They just simply don't recognize OW as an actual position.

Teams line WRs up in the HB slot all the time, why would it matter?
