Mr. T Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Robiskie has good speed and he also has a good understanding of his position. Robiskie runs disciplined routes. If it was not for the QB change his stock would be higher. nice hands! watch him pull away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Qwimbley Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Robiskie is a good RZ target, but he has bad hands. i don't care what the experts say, i have watched him drop so many passes on 3rd down it kills me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 And Pryor is no Joe Montana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Qwimbley Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I never said he was. But I was at Pryor's first start when he threw a beautiful downfield strike about 40 yards right in the breadbasket and Robo dropped it. Then, on a crossing route, he tries to catch with one hand when two hands catches it and gets the easy first down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Robo is a good kid and will strive to be the best out there, someone will get a good a WR when he is drafted, he has all the tools to be a great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBrownsFan Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Honestly, I would be taking Derrick Williams before I took Robiskie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gips Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Robiskie has all the tools for nfl developement someone will get a decent durable reciever in him but it likely wont be us..hey..we have braylon"butterfingers"edwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 If Robiskie is available in the 3rd round it would be nice pick-up other than that we have other needs also like a Safety and a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aloysius Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 In one on one drills today, Robiskie couldn't get separation on a slower CB (Macho Harris) or a safety (Patrick Chung). When matched up against a physical DB, Robiskie will struggle getting open. He may end up being a decent #2 receiver, but I don't see him being a "sleeper" type (he's projected to be a 2nd or 3rd Round pick). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mz. Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 he has all the tools to be a great one. Other than hands and speed, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ATENEARS Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I don't see him as having NFL speed ... actually I'm not that happy with any part of his game, although I'm bias because I hated his dad when he coached here. This was a down era for OSU WR's and he's Robiskie is the poster child for this down era. Seriously, I don't care to have him even as a walk-on, undrafted free-agent.

JewDago Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 agreed. he's far from the caliber of player who will have success in the NFL. when someone has limited physical ability like robiskie does, he needs to have an insane work ethic to have success, and there's been no indication that he does.

WPB Dawg Fan Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 agreed. he's far from the caliber of player who will have success in the NFL. when someone has limited physical ability like robiskie does, he needs to have an insane work ethic to have success, and there's been no indication that he does. Robiskie is making a name for himself at the Senior Bowl (per McShay) • One receiver whose stock is on the rise through the first two days is Ohio State's Brian Robiskie. He continues to separate himself from the pack as the most polished receiver on the North roster. He showed precise cuts out of his stem and was able to throttle down instantly when running stop and comeback routes. Robiskie opened scouts' eyes with a beautiful catch during seven-on-seven drills, going up high on a skinny post while displaying soft hands to haul in the throw. At this point he appears to be the receiver who should have the easiest transition at the next level. I am one who thought he would be a good guy for us to pick up...but if this keeps up he will be too high for us to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aloysius Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 There's some disagreement on how Robiskie looks: Monday Practice Notes: Clearly the former Buckeye is not the fastest or quickest receiver, but he had a very solid day all around. Ran good routes, and the inconsistency seen with his hands late in Ohio State’s season was not apparent today. Also doubled as a punt returner. Tuesday Practice Notes: Robiskie is sure handed but slow and does not stand out. He caught the ball well but was unable to shake defenders out of breaks or down the field. A lot of this stuff is pretty subjective. From what I saw yesterday, Robiskie wasn't at all impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aloysius Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Just heard Todd McShay say that Robiskie plays like a 4.55 receiver, but he's used his experience as a track guy to get himself in the low 4.4-high 4.3 40 range. If that's true, Robiskie won't make it out of the 2nd Round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefellswoop7 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm rooting this guy to become a solid NFL WR. The kid used to play catch with Couch, Garcia, and Frye! If he can fix what they probably did to him....he will be the biggest success story of the NFL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea where you get any of this. The guy is 6'3" and 207 lbs. He'll run a very resectable 4.5 or just under. He gets very physical with corners rather than just trying to beat them. He does, despite what some posters are claiming, have very good and very soft hands. Was hampered his senior year with a shoulder injury. He was projected as 1st round pick had he left his junior year and now his stock has dropped due to a less than stellar senior season. But I attribute that to to Pryor and injury more than anything Robiskie has or hasn't done. Yet you say he's "Far from the caliber of player who will have success in the NFL" A 1st or 2nd round pick is expected to have success in the NFL.....Scouts certainly don't agree with your "Far" comment. He also ended up being one of the standouts at the senior bowl. The kid has been s student of the game since he was a little kid....Jerry Rice once talked about how a very Young Brian would talk to him about Rice's game in the lockeroom. He reminds me so much of Chris Carter. Same exact size. Same speed. Extremely intelligent. I think he's a sleeper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YtownBrownsBacker Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 To say he has bad hands is a real stretch. Anybody that has watched him over his career at OSU knows this kid has very good hands. If you don't like him, you don't like him, but you can't just throw out stuff like he has bad hands. I saw him drop maybe 3 or 4 passes in his entire career at OSU. He seemed to get open usually against the opponents best corner. He is big and physical and cataches the ball over the middle. He runs good disciplined routes with decent speed. I guess to some that's a dog........................................but everybody is entitled to an opinion.

Tobalaz Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I think the change at qb affected Robiskie's perceived inability to catch more than anything else. Face it, with as much potential as Terrelle Pryor has, he was throwing some ugly balls that may have been accurate but wobbled worse than a Frye pass. Might have something to do with it.

Canton Mike Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 would love to have Robiskie! So would I!! I like Joe J, but I will actually be surprised if he can come back...even THIS year. Robiskie (IMHO) could be a very nice replacement.
