Poof!! .......and the fire is lit.
You want facts. Here's the truth hughes.
Robinson was terrible in coverage. He had so many tackles because he gave up so many completions and was targeted so many many times. He gave up 72% completion with 73 targets on him and allowed 106 QB rating. He ranked -12.6 in coverage from PFF which was the worst rating in the entire league for ALL CBs. He's terrible.
And LOL at using tackles as the judgment for CBs hughes. You are better than that.
Lions taking him in Round 2 would have been a huge huge huge mistake. You get no points as fake GM hughes.
Rich rod didn't even want josh Robinson
Fight!
ps...didnt you want hayward? so you were looking to get help in the defensive secondary the same as i was. Initially i mocked robinson in the 3rd rd as a speedy nickel but after his combine i knew hed be picked earlier. Either way he was better than both bentley and broyles combined.
and rich rod got fired cause he didnt know how to recruit. RIch rod had a kr at qb, a bunch of munchkins at wr and zero talent on defense. Whod rich rod decide to play over getting robinson?....floyd?!! All of our dbs were awful for most of rich rods tenure.
Hayward > Robinson
Hoke won 11 games and a sugar bowl with rich rods players so there's that. Denard also shattered major NCAA and michigan records.
fine you dont want to look at tackles....lets look at games played. i still win! your hopefulls werent worth poo on a piece of tissue paper. My guy was a starter as a rookie in a tough passing division. You think all those highly coveted lsu cbs did well their first year at cb?....not so much. Ill even give you Broyles since thats who we picked in rd 2. Oh snap....my guy STILL played more! bentley, broyles, bartell, greenwood....4 guys that did jack shit for us last year.
hoke added several players to the defense and got mattison in order to win those 11 games. Hoke didnt play his cbs 15 yards off the ball every play like the rich rod era.
Rich Rod on recruiting Josh Robinson:
"welp...we looked at him but he was fast and could cover. Here at michigan we try to get slow people that we just let sit there 15 yards off the ball so people can run right by them and score so we can get the ball back faster. Josh just wouldnt be a good fit for what were trying to do."
