Toughest test to date this week against Robinson (although Abbradaris was tough too). Needs to trust his front 7 and not peek into the back field. Cant get burnt on double moves, and must wrap up right after a catch is made. Lets hope Roby gets us our annual pick-6.

Disagree with Robinson being toughest test. I think that honor belongs to Bryce Treggs.

He's trying to make a hit that will dislodge the ball. If he can't do that, he loses effectiveness.

One of the reasons Roby is so highly rated by NFL scouts is that he hits like a freight train. It's a shame that ill-educated B1G officials threaten to deprive him of that skill.

This is better way of trying to say what I was trying to convey.

QBs can now hang their receivers out to dry, knowing they won't get hit or if they do, the DB is going to be ejected. Next the defensive player is going to have to make verbal contact with the receiver and ask him if he's ready to be hit before the defender can tackle him...

You can still hit hard and pseudo wrap/wrap up.. Ask any rugby player.

He loses effectiveness in the locker room, as well.
Like it or not, that's the rule he has to play by. Maybe he should have gone low at the knees of the tight end. I know that that isn't necessarily safer, as far as whether it injures the receiver, but it isn't a penalty.
I think I'm done worrying about that play. I still don't see a penalty, as I understand the rule. But it isn't going to change the call.

I just hope he can show who he was last year and why he was an All-American, because the Bucks are going to need him.

I seriously doubt Roby loses his effectiveness in the locker room over making a big hit and being ejected because of a shitty rule.

Back in action: Cornerback Bradley Roby had two pass break-ups and five tackles one week after being ejected for a targeting violation.

It was a controversial call since Roby appeared to lead with his shoulder and didn’t make direct contact in the neck or head area.

“It was very tough — especially after I watched the replay. I definitely think there was nothing wrong with that hit. If that’s a penalty, I just don’t know how to play football,” he said.

“But that’s in the past. It happened. I’m over it and moving on.”

He was matched up some with Allen Robinson, the Big Ten’s leading receiver who finished with 11 catches for 167 yards. Robinson had a 65-yard TD in the fourth quarter against OSU’s second string.

“I got beat a few times, but that’s the life of a cornerback. I see (NFL star Darrelle) Revis get beat all the time,” Roby said.
