It's a great story, and I'm pulling for him for other reasons as well, but he still needs to block better. A lot better. I think he can be an ST asset and possibly even make some positive plays with the football, but he's a liability, IMO, in pass protection and as a lead blocker. Not trying to mix metaphors here, but I still think cutting Robinson was short-sighted and I hope he's back on the team soon.

I think that the mrob was more about his illness then his value. Seattle got to kill two birds with one stone, by cutting a sick player who wasn't healthy enough to b play, and rolling over his salary for cap reasons. Mrob healthy would have been a tough decision, but a sick mrob made it necessary because it made too much sense.
