Washington Post not optimistic about Aldrick Robinson
Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2011 2:50 pmThe paper did a position-by-position breakdown of the Redskins' roster, and who likely will and won't make the roster. The writer doesn't seem to like Robinson's chances:
Wide receivers (5-6)
Looking good: Santana Moss, Jabar Gaffney, Anthony Armstrong appear to be locks.
On the bubble: Terrence Austin, Donte Stallworth, Leonard Hankerson, Niles Paul, Aldrick Robinson, Isaac Anderson, Brandon Banks, Malcolm Kelly.
Thoughts: If Banks is healthy and able to produce in the returns department, then he is set. Austin is having a good preseason, and coaches like Hankerson’s potential; he’s not helping himself with frequent drops, however. Stallworth is solid, but it’s a crowded position. Kelly’s chances don’t appear good. Paul could make the practices squad. Robinson needs to redeem himself from a shaky preseason debut.

Why Gaffney is a lock is beyond me, but most of Shanahan's move involve little or no logic. You'd have to think Hankerson is likely to make it, as a big, very productive, college WR who was drafted in the third round. Sounds like Stallworth is doing OK in camp, so Robinson might have to beat out Paul (about whom I know absolutely nothing), Austin and Banks (each of whom has experience in the return game). Kelly is a joke, and Anderson is just a camp body, I think.
So are we hoping for practice squad at this point? Hope he has a huge game next week.
