Rubes Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I know he's had some struggles this year, but how do you not just love this guy? In my mind, he's one of the bright spots on the team this year. For a rookie, and a small one at that, playing one of the most difficult positions for a rookie--he's shown to me that the game is not too big for him. He's given up a few TDs, yes, but he's also making some big plays. Yesterday, he had 6 combined tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. Not bad for a guy who plays nickel corner at 5'7" and, maybe, 165 lbs. Love seeing this guy out on the field. Hopefully the experience makes him even better next year.

Dorkington Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I think he lives up to his first name well. He's a decent Nickel CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'll say this, Robey must be from Florida b/c he had one helluva large group of fans at the Tampa game. All these folks entering with me were wearing T-shirts with his picture on it and some wearing his USC jersey. Pretty cool. He's been great although it sucked when he got turned around on the one long TD pass from Glennon to Jackson. Not his best moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glennon got outta the pocket, giving him extra time and threw a jump ball to 6'4" VJax being covered by a 5'8" Robey. His cards were stacked against him, almost surely gonna lose that battle. I think Robey has been tremendous this year. Definitely a bright spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bufcomments Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." - Mark Twain This ^ Robey is a baller. I think they call him Lil Big Man. He has been making plays all year. His positives out weigh his negatives. His stat line was awesome Sunday. Wish he was 3 inches taller but he uses his body well for his size. This draft class -free agent class has produced this year. E.J., Goodwin, Robey, Summers, Woods, Kiko, Hughes . That lots of production from those guys. They draft , find free agents this spring like they did this year we gonna be good next year, possible playoffs if it all jells together and we get lucky for once.

YoloinOhio Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) I'll say this, Robey must be from Florida b/c he had one helluva large group of fans at the Tampa game. All these folks entering with me were wearing T-shirts with his picture on it and some wearing his USC jersey. Pretty cool. He's been great although it sucked when he got turned around on the one long TD pass from Glennon to Jackson. Not his best moment. He is from Florida. Considering he was a UDFA, I also give props to the scouting dept for scouting/signing him. He is someone who works in certain packages with Pettine, as long as he doesn't get caught in bad matchups (like Vincent Jackson, Roddie White) he is a great asset. That will be on the def coaching staff to ensure that he is utilized properly. They have done that well many times with him. If you haven't seen - this is a great article on him:http://www.buffalobi...08-5e3209bc9d5f Edited December 16, 2013 by YoloInTheBlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Glennon got outta the pocket, giving him extra time and threw a jump ball to 6'4" VJax being covered by a 5'8" Robey. His cards were stacked against him, almost surely gonna lose that battle. I think Robey has been tremendous this year. Definitely a bright spot. He got burned on a similar play against New Orleans too. If I recall, in both instances, there was major pressure, and the QB's escaped it. If we have to live with QB's escaping huge blitzes, buying an extra 5 seconds, and then throwing up 40-yard jump balls in Robey's direction, that's a small price to pay for his otherwise stellar rookie season.

I actually think his size is an advantage in that he's more in the mold of today's classic slot receivers (small, shifty guys like Welker, Amendola, etc.). Sometimes it takes a quick little guy to cover a quick little guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 He reminds me of Jabari Greer, he will make plays but will struggle at times against bigger WRs, for this team, right now, he's the perfect slot defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have been pleasantly surprised with our secondary this year. We all knew Byrd was a stud, but A. Williams has proven his worth at safety, McKelvin is a totally different player and Gilmore, despite struggles, seems to be headed back in the right direction. Robey, however, must be the most pleasant surprise of them all. He outplays his size, great in coverage, big hitter... What a UDFA signing!

Webster Guy Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Saved us the need to draft a corner next year. He will only get better too. He reminds me of a little Antoine Winfield out there. He did have that big mistake against Tampa but so do all corners in the NFL. Great player, fun to watch and root for out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Robey is the latest player (out of hundreds) to prove that "Can he play football?" is a more important issue than any physical measurable. The guy sticks like flypaper in man coverage and has big-play ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjjr Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 He should be a very good nickel corner going forward for the Bills. If they had him last year, they might have had a chance against Welker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 He is a great asset. Put him on the small receivers, and Gilmore on the big guys. Robey is exactly the kind of guy this team needs more of. He makes big plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Mark is wrong , thats saying a lot for a 5 9 UDFA who kicks ass every play.i need a # 37 jersey . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
