What's going on with Laurent Robinson?

In Robinson’s case he did really well in ATL and came to us knowing what type of talent and production he has and yet did absolutely nothing his whole time here then goes off to Dallas with a horrible QB in Romo and a stack of talented weapons who have proven their worth in the league to push Robinson down the depth chart only to have him out produce all them and become a shinning star once again…..So It’s not him (What we all thought) its us its our coaching and just shows you how much we need to completely re-tool this coaching staff. With Carriker though he was just in a different defense he was suited for…just bad draft picks.

“I know when he was here that he didn’t have anyone to take some pressure off him, and that he had a case of the drops, but how is he dominating now? Do the Cowboys just have that much better of a system? Better coaching? Or is it just the fact that everyone around him just so much better now?”
Pretty much what you said. The major thing is he’s not the first or second or even third option like he was in STL. He is the fourth option behind three great option in Austin, Bryant, and Witten. It’s much easier to get open when you don’t get the best corners on you every play like he did in STL. He still has the dropsies though.

I remember the local StLou media making a big deal of some of Spagnuolo’s choices on assistants a couple of years ago, saying they were questionable. Remember, Spags was a premeir defensive coordinator but came here as a rookie HC, they added an OC who had never been an OC before, and their DC had never been a DC before. Shit son, that’s a whole lotta rookiness.

Hard enough to have one key guy doing new duties, it was probably a little too ambitious to go with all that, even if Spags was a good choice to preside over the house cleaning and culture change that needed to (and did) happen on that old roster.
