Gray has had 2 good runs the past weeks called back due to holds.


Joekel is getting abused by Watt/Mercilus. My goodness.

 

It was very hard to watch Blake take that kind of punishment especially after he had such a good season.  If he had a better OLine he would've had a chance of being in the top 3 this year in Passing based on the way he played.  When you are getting hit hard (whether or not it results in a sack) it starts to show on the following plays.   Not that many QBs can take the kind of punishment he has taken these last two years & part of the reason is LT Luke Joeckel's poor performance.  I know GM Dave Caldwell thinks he'll improve but as the GM he needs to bring in talent to compete with Luke for the starting role after a couple of years of failure.

 

Getting back to the OP thread topic, Denard Robinson has shown flashes of being a good change of pace RB (backup) but the constant drop passes & fumbles (especially at key times in games) has me shaking my head as to why he has so many chances.  I feel bad for him because you can tell he's trying his hardest.  If he stays around next year or if he doesnt either way I hope he works on protecting the ball & catching this offseason (maybe go to the same camp that AR15 went to, wouldn't hurt)!
