After this preseason, we need him.

I still think we need to rid ourselves of this piece of crap. So we treat him different because he is perceived to be our best option at cb? It sends a bad message to all the players that busted their tails through camp and preseason.

You're way out of line calling Robinson "this piece of crap" !
I've had a different attitude about him now myself and don't appreciate the way he handled this situation, but I'm sure I dunno the whole story here ?
I think GM Smith himself has admitted to reneging on a promise to not tag Robinson, and that no doubt has complicated the situation and was out-of-line on Smiths part IMO.
No matter, he doesn't for a moment deserve the kind of label you've put on him ! Maybe you just had one too many - it was Saturday night ?

At this point all we can on is track record. And right now he is our best option at corner. McCain is playing OK but did you see that move Percy Harvin put on him to the corner of the end zone. If he would've caught that...

Maybe dunta's trainer has gotten him back up to speed. Maybe he comes back worse. Who knows. However, at this point we need all the help we can get.

Have we forgotten Reeves is injured...

We need him, so I don't care.

Q & A with Solomon:
http://blogs.chron.com/jeromesolomon..._physical.html
Couple of points:

Have you done some football workouts? Will it take long for you to get up to speed?
"I worked at IMG with (former Jaguars receiver) Matt Jones. We went at it, basically every day.

Will you be ready to start against the Jets?
"I think so, but I'll know more about that situation as the week goes. It won't take long to adjust once I start playing.

According to the chronic, Dunta's not mad anymore. Just plain warms the cockles of my heart to hear him say that. He also doesn't want to lose a single dollar of that filthy contract he will be "forced" to sign. ($9.97M)! Message: just hurry up and learn Coach Gibbs style of play, so you don't miss any gametime.

OK, your back. Now go out and EARN that 9.9 million top 5 money.

I am foreced to admit now that Robinson is back, if he just stabilizes that secondary with his leadership, that will erase all my ill-will. Well, most of it anyway.

How exactly is the team treating him different?

WMH · #10 09-10-2009, 03:07 PM

While this might not be a popular opinion, I could give a $hit about what has happened with him the past 4-6 weeks. I care about what happens the next 17. He plays well, I will love him. He doesn't play well, I will hate him. My emotions can/will vary week to week.

Long term....well, I am not thinking about the long term, with any of these guys, including OD and Demeco. I want to win NOW. If them being pi$$ed makes them play better, then I hope Smithiak pi$$es EVERYONE off next year.

Next year will take care of it's self. For eight years I have thrown money at this team, and I want SATISFACTION!

Gawd....I can't wait till Sunday!

No I think your wrong, I think most people agree with you on the fact let's see what he does the next 17 weeks.

While he was out people where angry, but he is back and the average fan will forgive him if he is the same old Dunta.

NBT · #12 09-10-2009, 04:39 PM

Well, let's hope he is not the same 'Ol Dunta from last year when he didn't get into a game until the 7th one, and then was far from the Dunta of Old. As I say if he can play to form and be the leader he has been in the past, then all is forgiven.

Well said. I think his biggest fear was playing a whole season and being exposed as a CB that has lost a significant step, therefore never achieving the large contract he so desperately whined for........../
