2008:
The one cornerback who started all 16 games — and is likely to be starting alongside Robinson in 2009
— was free-agent pickup Jacques Reeves, a league-average player who is reasonable on short stuff but gives
up too many big plays deep.
Reeves is probably the corner on the Texans who would benefit most from a stronger pass rush by our front seven. Long routes take a lot of time to develope, and with a strong rush, the time just isn't there.
To me, Robinson's greatest drawback is his height. I have seen taller receivers abuse him even when he had them covered. He's probably not the kind of guy you want covering a fade route to a 6'4" receiver in the end zone. This drawback is only going to get worse over time since the trend seems to be for new receivers into the league being taller and taller.
