Would anyone like to move Robinson to FS??

It seems that might be a good move for him since he's lost a step after his knee surgery. It would be a more natural position for him now.

He struggles to change direction quickly and seems to fall too often now to compensate. He got burned quite a bit this year, but he's solid against the run and has too much valuable experience to not have him on the field.


This would also allow us to not have to use a draft pick this year on a FS, and there's much more talented CB's coming out this year than FS's.

Pollard and Robinson would be formidable, to say the least.

Could we draft Earl Thomas and play him at CB?

I don't think he has the size or cover skills to play CB at a high level. He's looks at his best at FS where he can roam and make plays.

I was thinking more along the lines of Warren, Cox, or possibly Wilson.

If we decide to go CB in the mid rounds Walter McFadden or Joshua Moore.

What about Donovan Warren from Michigan?

I like Warren, but have him as my #4 CB behind Haden, Cox, and Wilson.

How can a guy not have the size to play CB but have the size to play FS?

Earl Thomas' biggest downside is his small frame. He's not gonna give a receiver alot of jam or physicality running a route, especially in the NFL. His best position IMO, is a ballhawking FS.

I repeat my question. How can a guy be big enough to play FS but too small for CB? Teams definitely look for more size in a FS then in a CB. If he is truly too small for CB then we definitely don't want him at FS.

So true.
But this whole subject is surely moot because it's very unlikely Robinson is even with the Texans for the '10 season.
