I'm just saying that you shouldn't put all of your eggs in one basket, like you love to do so often.
At what point did I put all my eggs in one basket?  Lol. He has looked the best in practice so you start him.  If Ozigbo looks better in the games, then move him up in the depth chart.  But as of week 1 Robinson is the starter being he has looked the best In practice which is the only thing we have been able to go off of since there was no preseason.  Im sure Thompson will be our 3rd down back

You said you feel like he's the reason they dumped Fournette... That's surely putting a good amount of eggs in his basket.

As I said, being the starter doesn't mean much if it's RBBC... If there's 3 different backs all getting 8-12 touches per, does it really matter who is listed first?

Vision always translates. His speed and quickness may not allow him to make the same plays in the NFL like he did in college, but we shouldn't see him running into the back of the OL most of the time when there is a hole available. Sure you want to see if in the field, but if his speed and quickness are up to NFL standards, he will be a starter.

He doesn't really have much long speed at all (you can see it in the cut ups, as well as his 40 time. That's ok though because long speed isn't the deal breaker at all), but his explosive drill numbers were pretty good. Which is pretty key for being agile enough and going from 0-100 quickly. Vision I agree, always translates and will absolutely make up for some other areas that aren't top notch.
