Dunta Watch 2009

NBT · #1 08-25-2009, 09:49 PM

What should be making his teamates mad is that even when he reports (IF), at the start of the season ( so he doesn' miss any of that $9.7M), then he will still have to learn secondary coach David Gibbs way of playing, and will mean he will have to sit a couple of games just to come up to speed. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! I have absolutely no respect left for Mr. Robinson.

Agree with his and/or the organizations decisions or not, he is still the best CB we can put out there right now. Id rather a not up to speed Dunta than anyone else we have right now starting. He should be in great shape, just not game shape.

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.

How exactly is the team treating him different?

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.
