TC in St. Louis Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Everybody trashes the Bills for their choice of Mike Williams, but at the time it was heralded as a great pick. Good character, great athlete. Needed polish. Well, Greg Robinson strikes me as similar in that he needs polish on his pass blocking technique. He's a monster, plows people over. He's like an offensive lineman's version of Leif Larson. Well, that was a cheap shot. If I were going OL in this draft, I would take Matthews first, Lewan second, Notre Dame guy third, Cyrus fourth.
K-9 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Not in a million years. Robinson plays with a nasty streak that Mike Williams' personality couldn't lend itself to. Plus, he's twice the athlete as well, way more explosive. GO BILLS!!!

He just was good at it & it could earn him a good life.

Not even close. Robinson is an athlete; Williams was, to quote Modrak, a "dancing bear" (a slow-footed but naturally huge mauler). Williams couldn't keep up with the speed of nfl players. Robinson ran a 4.9 40, the second fastest 40 of all linemen this year. Yeah, I love Robinson's attitude as well. My opinion of Mike Williams is he didn't love football. He just was good at it & it could earn him a good life. Williams didn't love football because he realized pretty quickly that he wasn't good enough -- i.e., he was just too slow. I can sympathize -- it's demoralizing.
Manther Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Ya, have to disagree on this one! Different personalities and views on life and football.

PO'14 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 If Matthews is there, Bills must take him. A guaranteed Stud who played both sides in College and who has a Great NFL family name.
reddogblitz Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) The guy on NFL Channel says he could be next Walter Jones. That'd be good. Of course there is and will only be one Walter Jones. Edited May 6, 2014 by reddogblitz

I think by the time it's all said and done there will be only one Greg Robinson as well... Not counting the crappy coach of course...
maryland-bills-fan Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I would like to draft both a tackle and a guard this year by trading down and getting more picks in the first 3 rounds. You are risking a lot when you put all your eggs in one basket.
....lybob Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 No Greg Robinson isn't Mike Williams but in my opinion he is not the overwhelming #1 tackle, Robinson crushes people 90% of the time and 10% of time is beaten with speed, blocks the wrong person or gets a penalty, Jake Mathews doesn't crush people but takes his person out of the play about 99.5% of the time - so it really depends on what you want
thebandit27 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Robinson is a different class of athlete from Williams, so I say no.
