Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

I'm pretty sure I started a thread at the beginning of the season hoping to see him get 1000yds from scrimmage...

Quote:And they finally listen. Time for some like FBT to eat some crow. After the Jets game i said put Denard at Kick returner and I caught slack, then there was a game when Yeldon might not of played and I said We would be just FINE with Robinson starting a game and caught slack.

Anyway, dude is much more explosive than Yeldon and should get more carries.

That 2 yard average today screamed feature back, didn't it?


The dropped pass and fumble really inspired confidence too, huh?


Word to the wise. Make sure there's actually crow to be served before you start doing your victory dance. Between wanting to IR Hurns and this celebratory thread, what little credibility you might have had with anyone here evaporated into thin air.


Robinson is a change of pace back. Nothing more. Yeldon is your feature back. That was made abundantly clear today.

BklynJag fails again.

This isn't an indictment of Robinson. He's a good role player. Just not a feature back.

I know cause there were so many holes up front to run through. He had a bad game and who said he should be the feature back?

Read the OP and thread title you started.

DRob is a great change of pace back but no feature back by anyone means. His fresh legs coming in after TJ is tired make him look better than he actually is. Where we missed TJ today is in Pass Pro.

And your point? I have no problem with Robinson getting more carries. Did i say he should be our featured back?

He's not a feature back in the least. He needs to be a guy getting more screens, change of pace, give Yeldon a breather. 

 

Denard didn't exactly tear it up today, you aren't helping any argument you think you've got.

Who said he should be our feature back?

And you all think he's the most athletic player lol

I don't think the BrklnJag said he was a feature back. He said MORE CARRIES about a dozen times. You did the ole bring up a past post after a player has a fumble to rouse the natives and to have another member eat some crow themselves. Sophmoric but you have the right.

Both are pretty decent backs, the people who say Yeldin is all world are as delusional as the ones saying Robinson is all world. Wait, nobody said

Drob is all world. He looked decent today besides the fumble, it's an over reaction like this board tends to do. Everyone forgets the passes he caught and the good runs and getting it to the one yard line breaking tackles. It's natural for the fickle fans.

But its really arguing about angels on pinheads because both are very average backs, both need a little room and are not shaking people out of their cleats or running people over.  We could upgrade there without a doubt, but it's a passing game and Yeldon will do for now, he blocks pretty good for a youngster.

Even if all he was hoping for was more carries, how'd that work out?


If a 2 yard average is decent in your eyes, there's little to discuss here.

Quote:I know cause there were so many holes up front to run through. He had a bad game and who said he should be the feature back?

So it's the lines fault when your guy averages 2 yards a carry, but when Yeldon is averaging twice that, he needs to give up more carries to Denard. Brilliant.

Freeman averaged 2 yards a carry. Guess he isn't a feature back either.

Seriously? As if Yeldon has not had 2 YPC games? They are both average backs, they each have strong parts and each play a part.

Bringing up an old post after a player has an off game to prove your point that Robinson is not starting material, is a lame move.

You don't post when he has a good game, you come on and degrade him after one poor game with a fumble.

It's a tired old tactic to feed your ego, and while lots do it, I would expect more from you to lead the way in being rational.

Denard is a good back, he fumbled, let's hang him and forget all the other good things just so you can say you were right?

 

If I were coach I would play Robinson more, a lot more, Robinson offers a home run threat Yeldon does not have and hits the small holes our line opens harder and is faster to the outside than yeldon. So I take nothing back. He fumbled. All backs do it. It cost us but was not fatal, certainly Blakes INT was more harmful, should he be hung as well? Iif you want to make Yeldon "starter' fine, but I would split the carries.

So perhaps we can quit trying to make a point about our personnel evaluaton genuis and admit the truth, we have a couple of average backs and arguing which one is more average just to feed the ego is stupid. Play them both so we can have fresh legs on whichever average back is in there. I would definitely have Denard take more passes than Yeldon, he catches really well and is quicker on a fast screen.

Don't think anything has really changed from yesterday.  DRob should still get more carries as a change of pace back.  It gives Yeldon rest and he usually comes in with a burst.  A few more carries a game would be great, especially if he hit's the HR now and then.  Not sure what all this "eating crow" is about.  It was one game, DRob has shown us quite a bit over the last couple seasons to know who he is.  Kinda silly to latch on to the whole 2 YPC notion from yesterday, backs have bad games, it happens.  No one is yelling for him to be the starter.

Quote:U did say he is much more explosive and should get more carries, doesn't the starter get more carries???

He is far more 'explosive' as a ball carrier. Haven't you ever watched how Yeldon, when handed the ball, will stutter step for a second or two before moving forward? That hesitation almost always results in fewer yards gained. Robinson, on the other hand, quickly and decisively moves through the 'hole' and then looks down field.
