Does anybody know why he never plays?
The few chances that he has had, he takes advantage of.
He has 5 Rec 92 Yds 0 TD 18.4 Avg.
These are pretty good stats for the few chances he has gotten.
I think he has earned more playing time.

I always wonder this. Although I thought he was a reach where he was drafted, I always thought he'd be a very solid WR. He ran great routes and had pretty dependable hands in college. He's also a very tough kid.

I still think he and Mo Mass could be a good duo in the future as #2 and #3 WR's.

To answer your question, it would be Mangini. He's had a hard on for him since preseason. At one time Mangini asked him to be productive on special teams before he would get a chance at a WR position. Obviously Robiskie disagreed and for that he has been deactivated off the roster and on the practice squad. This to me makes no effin sense when we just HAD to draft him in the top of the 2nd round. We didn't dare draft Maualuga out of USC!!

I definitely agree with this. I am kind of hoping we pick up Vincent Jackson(SD) through free agency in the offseason.

That'd be a SWEET pick up but I don't see SD letting him go anywhere. VJ and Rivers have developed a strong friendship off the field and you gotta believe the Chargers want to keep Rivers happy. Plus, with being in the SD market, I have to believe the Chargers can throw a lot of money at VJ to keep him.

Yeah, you could be correct. But I look for Lerner to go balls in this offseason. They have plenty of $$$ to spend on free agency and with the likeliness of a desirable GM or "czar", I look for that to attract some decent talent. I think Lerner finally realized that he needs to pay more attention to putting a winning team on the field rather than paying so much attention to his beloved soccer team. People are NOT renewing there PSL's and that may have woke him up somewhat. OR at least I hope so..lol!!

I thought for sure that the Browns were going to take Maulaluga during the draft. It was a huge break for Cincy, he's been a stud

I haven't seen the flashes you speak of. He seems like an underachieving WR, who needs to work harder on special teams. Does he block well on run plays? That could be another reason for lack of playing time, maybe he doesn't focus on the little things like blocking...

This year's WR FA class is kind of weak. Basically, it's Brandon Marshall, Vincent Jackson, Miles Austin, and no one else ( I doubt BE is coming back and TO is a stupid signing anymore for any team). So hopefully the Brownies at least take a serious look at one of those 3.

Why would you ask us if he blocks well on run plays when he never plays? So obviously, we can't answer that question for you. He was a damn good blocker in college, though.

Its something to consider though, maybe he doesn't block in practice. Mangini is all about the little stuff like that, so who knows. I'm not saying he's a poor blocker, i'm just speculating a reason why maybe he's not playing.

I respect that mindset and attitude by Mangini...but I have seen many of those little things not executed on the field. So why keep Robo on the bench when in reality, every player on this team makes numerous mistakes.

At this point, he's either really, really bad or he has pissed Mangini off.

Mangini is a moron is why Robiske doesn't play more. Why draft a WR in the 2nd round to play special teams. Another priceless decison by Cleveland's moron of a coach...

Its all Mangini, it has nothing to do with being in the doghouse etc.

Robo and MMass will be good receivers for Cleveland imo.

So what you are saying is that if Mangini is gone both recievers will have better on field results?

No, what I am saying is both WR's will see the field all the time during next season if Mangini is gone.

You cannot have better results on the field without the opportunity to be on the field. I follow the Browns and nothing was indicated to me that Robiskie should be on the sidelines.

So are you in favor of a new coach next season? I feel like Mangini's done a good job developing some talent (Evan Moore, Roth, Schaefering) , while letting others flounder(Veikune, Robiskie, Harrison). So I've been curious as to if it's Mangini keeping them off the field, or are they not deserving to be on the field.

No, I am not in favor of a new coach actually. I want Mangini to have another year with the young guys and our defense under Ryan who has played very well despite injuries. But everything I read stated that Robo should have been on the field instead of the bench. But under a different coach Robiskie sees the field more this year compared to under Mangini imo.

I wouldn't say Mangini has developed Roth as they picked him off waivers in late November. He is very talented but just didn't fit in the Dolphins plans. A great pick up but not developed.

That's what happens when you draft a guy 1-2 rounds too high.

In practice he's been terrible. Much like Jerome Harrison, which is why they are usually inactive.

When they have a productive week practicing, they are active for the game and they get a good amount of playing time.

Robiskie was the, supposed, most NFL ready WR in the last draft, and he is just now finally seeing time because he can't be consistent in practice.
