Deljuan Robinson

[HOU-TEX]

I think Deljuan made some awesome plays yesterday. It was definitely a coming out party for him. He only had 3 tackles and 1 assist, but 2 were TFL's.

Just thought I'd spread the love around a little.

1-10-TEN 25 (10:54) 28-C.Johnson right tackle to TEN 21 for -4 yards (66-Deljuan Robinson).

2-14-TEN 21 (10:17) 5-K.Collins pass short middle to 28-C.Johnson to TEN 22 for 1 yard (52-X.Adibi, 66-Deljuan Robinson).

2-10-TEN 13 (2:38) 25-L.White up the middle to TEN 12 for -1 yards (66-Deljuan Robinson).

He was one of the keys to the victory. He was a beast.

[HJam72]

Make him the starter. Okoye and TJ don't do well together anyway.

[HJam72]

I don't think we need anymore DT's, and he is one of the biggest reasons.

[RipTraxx]

For the few plays he's in he shows up. Much like Anthony Maddox did when we had him a few years back.

He's earned the right to start.....

He and Bulman are earning pay checks and some vets should be sweating.

Hell yeah and do not forget that Cochran was doing well subing before he went down.

[SheTexan]

Bulman has the heart of a beast! I'm liking him more and more each game. I love it when a "nobody" shows up and becomes a star! I just love watching that guy play ball.

Deljuan's on his way also! These two guys play with heart and soul. A good addition to our D. JMO!!

Whoops, I forgot to add his third TFL.

1-15-TEN 15 (:39) 25-L.White right tackle to TEN 14 for -1 yards (66-Deljuan Robinson).

Yes, he was a beast in THAT game, but has yet to earn his way to true Beastliness. If he can do it day in and day out, then he'd be nominated for Beasthood.

That's awesome, SheTex. The Heart of a Beast! That has a nice ring to it and the title fits Bulman well.

I think that Travis Johnson really gets pushed around too much and should only be played as a backup if at all. I'd rather see Robinson start for at least the next game.

I think Nading (#72) needs to be added to that group too. He's seen quite a bit of action in the past few games. I've seen him lined up as a LB on some defensive plays, and there's been times when he's blitzed & others when he dropped back in coverage. Also, even though he was playing with a knee injury he came very close to blocking a punt against the Titans near their own endzone.

[Jackie Chiles]

I think Deljuan actually leads our team in TFL with 6. In his limited playing time that is impressive. TFL do not count sacks btw in which case obviously Mario would be the leader.

robinson's tackle for a big loss was really something to see. he manhandled the guard and i dont think i've ever seen a fullback bounce off someone like that. it looked like throwing a nerf ball into a brick wall, the fullback bounced straight down lol.

[Yankee_In_TX]

No clue who he is, by I knew his name by the end of the game - and said as such to those sitting by me. He came up huge a few times.

4th and 1 on a warm afternoon night,
kill the Quarterback, kill the Quarterback
Quarterback bark, though he bite,
kill the Quarterback, kill the Quarterback
slip by his Center, break his neck,
then his pocket I start to wreck,
got no reason, what the heck!
kill the Quarterback, kill the Quarterback,
C-I-L-L the Quarterback

My paraphrase is compliments of Eddie Murphy's Mr Robinson's Neighborhood.

Agree. I'd hope that a demotion to backing up a guy who wasn't even drafted might in some way shame him into playing better. Travis remains a slug and useless for the most part. Sometimes he doesn't even look like he's trying.


Edit: That post above mine is so good I think an avatar might be on the way.

I remember that .... did not recall it was Eddie Murphy. That goes all the way back to high school for me. Guy in school got busted for plagiarism because he used it as his own work.

Rep for the reference.

I understand that TJ has not turned out to be the top tier DT that he was drafted to be, but I wouldn't call him a slug or useless. He's still one of, if not the best DT currently on our roster. Sure, he get's beat a lot, but AO and Zgonina get beat more often than TJ

Honestly, Okoye should be getting ragged on just as much if not more than TJ.

I know stats don't mean much, but I figure I'd post their tackling stats anyways. FWIW

Tim Bulman: 17 Total, 11 Solo, 6 Asst
Travis Johnson: 23 Total, 18 Solo, 5 Asst
Amobi Okoye: 17 Total, 11 Solo, 6Asst
Deljuan Robinson: 25 Total, 17 Solo, 8 Asst
Jeff Zgonina: 17 Total, 11 Solo, 6 Asst

I think Robinson should be easily starting ahead of Amobi and that if we don't see Okoye bounce back from this "sophmore slump" he's in then will be seriously talking about Okoye busting ala TJ and Babin.

Yes he had one great tackle today. The rest of the afternoon he was being pushed around like a shopping cart. If he doesn't get what he had early last season back I'm going to stop calling him "The Force" and start going with "The Farce" because he's not playing well at all.

TJ is two years ahead of Amobi in experience and 5 years older than him. There's no excuse for how little Travis Johnson does. He's just a bum, or as I like to call him a slug. 2 sacks in four years while camping in the middle of an absolutely terrible run defense for four years isn't anything to be proud of. Travis doesn't stop the run and Travis doesn't rush the passer. What exactly does he do? The answer is not much. I'd be fine with his production if he was a 3rd rounder where he belonged but he's a first rounder and we passed on Derrick Johnson to take this big blubbery sack of nothing.

I don't think we've ever pulled a DL player off the street who didn't play harder than TJ.
