sodbuster Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The play in week 16 where he lit up wallace on the screen pass... he had quite a game that day. Was there a UDFA signing in the NFL this year that had a bigger impact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB3 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) The play in week 16 where he lit up wallace on the screen pass... he had quite a game that day. Was there a UDFA signing in the NFL this year that had a bigger impact? I'm not an expert on other UDFA'S but I'd bet he's right near the top. I think he rated out as the best nickel corner in the league or at least was a few weeks back.

Rivermont Mike Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Great. I was reading all the "fire this one!" and "we're doomed!" posts and getting all settled in to my between-season-disgruntled-Bills-fan mode, and then you went and posted this. Now I am FIRED UP and ready for the 2014 season to begin. GO BILLS!!! PLAYOFFS, BAYYYYYYBY!! WOOOO! Seriously, amazing closing speed and he hits like a guy a foot taller and 50 pounds heavier. Wow.

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This speaks to the mentality of some around here. Robey was a damn good nickel cb all year and wasn't drafted & didn't have any baggage (except he's short). Rogers had like 10 catches playing with Andrew Luck with a bunch of wr injuries & had a bunch of baggage. Yet, Robey gets 1 page while Rogers gets 50. Makes sense. Agree 100%, what a find this guy was. If Brooks doesn't step his game up next year, he'll be sitting in the unemployment line. I thought Brooks had some moments as a rookie. But he definitely is behind Robey. Injuries have hurt Brooks. But as we have learned with McKelvin, you shouldn't give up on a young cb too early.

Robey was given every chance to succeed, with one team, from day one. Rogers situation was nowhere near that...and his position coach (in Buffalo) was a bum. The problem is, people not wanting a talented player on this team...because he does not act like a choir boy 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches and people around Rogers were the reason he was kicked out of school & not drafted. Enablers. The only knock against Robey was he was short.

Kirby Jackson Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Love Nickell!! He makes plays and has developed nicely. I am glad that the Bills have given this talented UDFA a chance to contribute. I think that Robey is a guy that can man the slot for years to come. He's tough and a bit of a gambler that will make some plays. In addition, he is a great blitzer which is an underrated quality for a slot corner.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Every play on there, I was like, "That's my favorite!"...until the next one. He reminds me of a faster version of Winfield. He has better ball skills than Winfield, though Winfield might have the edge as a better tackler. By the way, he is awesome at blowing up screens. Just awesome.

RevWarRifleman Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Infernus, a big heads up to you for posting this. Robey is one of the bright young players on the rise for our team. I know that 6 - 10, yet again, was not the season any of us wanted. But its guys like him that makes me feel a little better about the future. Go Bills, 2014!!

Mark Vader Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 That was fun to watch. My favorite play was the tackle on McCluster in the Chiefs game. As I remember that was a 3rd & 1 play? It was great watching Robey grow throughout the season. He definitely took his lumps(Bengals & Saints games) but as the season went on, he was just outstanding. He's definitely ahead of Brooks, and I look forward to how Robey plays next year. Question for all of you: Is Robey strictly a nickel & dime CB, or can he be a starting CB in this league?

Rogers had like 10 catches playing with Andrew Luck with a bunch of wr injuries & had a bunch of baggage. Yet, Robey gets 1 page while Rogers gets 50. Makes sense. To be fair, this is (at least) the third Robey appreciation thread in the past couple of weeks. To be completely fair, all three of those threads don't add up to 50 pages, but still. Three threads. Question for all of you: Is Robey strictly a nickel & dime CB, or can he be a starting CB in this league? I would say strictly nickel/dime. He doesn't have the height to match up on the outside as a starter, as much as I think he has the talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Excellent video! Whoever made this did an amazing job. And Robey makes for great film! One of the best pure tacklers I've seen in a while. If everyone tackled like him, like you're supposed to, there wouldnt be any concussion controversy. Can't wait to watch more of this kid in a Bills uniform! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smears Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks to the person that put this together and posted it on the internet. A great find by our scouts.

3rdand12 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Love this kid. We hit the jackpot. Yes indeed . I had no idea . What a great highlight film . Really just impressive . long term contract asap.: )) someone said he couldn't play the outside corner position . I say Malarkey. look how many times he was alone with no one over the top !\ Both he and Alonso play on another level . recognition speed angles and great contact at the ball. Yep best draft ever. And we got Robey too Jackpot !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, people not wanting a talented player on this team...because he does not act like a choir boy 24/7. i disagree with this. from what i was hearing (all second hand), rogers was not taking his chance as serious as he could, while robey was putting in all the work and making the most of every opportunity he got. and there is the difference, rogers put the coaches in a position where they couldn't put him on the field, robey put them in a position where they couldn't take him off. love this guy!
