Browns notebook: Can Robiskie follow up Hartline?.
By Steve Doerschuk
CantonRep.com staff writer
Posted Oct 10, 2009

Can a 2008 Ohio State wideout score against Buffalo for a second straight Sunday?

Brian Hartline did it for the Dolphins last Sunday. Brian Robiskie may get a chance to do it this Sunday, when he is expected to play extensively for the first time, now that Braylon Edwards has been shipped out.

Robiskie hasn?t caught a pass as a pro, raising questions about what one can expect from a wideout drafted at No. 36 overall.

One example is Buffalo?s Josh Reed, who was a No. 36 overall pick in 2002. He reached career highs in catches (56) and yards (597) as a seventh-year Bill in 2008. He has 10 career touchdown catches, one in 2009.

Anderson SUCKS!!!! I was at the game and Robo was open all afternoon. But maybe he only likes receivers with butterfingers.

The way everyone else was dropping balls you would think that Anderson would have tried throwing to Robo. If the other receivers had caught all the passes that hit them in the hands Anderson's day would have gone form horrible to average and the game probably wouldn't have come down to the end to win it. Give Robo the damn ball!

(On Brian Robiskie's play against Buffalo) -- "Brian was sound. He was sound in the running game in terms of the guys, you know we ran it 41 times, that he had to block. In terms of not getting any balls, the balls that Derek was throwing, in terms of the coverage's that we were getting, those were where they were designed to go. He was good in terms of his mental aspect, not making many mental mistakes for his first time out there as a rookie. I know there wasn't any production in the pass game, but he was where he needed to be. He is a real professional. He treats the job like a pro, already as a young guy."

Transcript of Friday news conference with Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Brian Daboll | Cleveland Browns - cleveland.com - - cleveland.com
More for Robiskie: Rookie receiver Brian Robiskie saw significant action in Buffalo, but didn't have any balls thrown his way. Of course, Derek Anderson only attempted 17 passes in the fierce winds.

"I'm optimistic for him. I'm very hopeful," said offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. "He could really help us. His job is to get out there, get open and catch the ball. If the ball doesn't go to him this time, if we get the next coverage that does, he's got to be at the right spot. So yes, I'm optimistic for him."

Hopefully Anderson will have more confidence in Robo after he caught both balls thrown to him yesterday (although he was out of bounds on the first). Robo doesn't seem to be fighting the ball like every other receiver on the team. I like having MM and Robo as the starting WR's. Let the other guys mix it up in the slot.

Agreed...this season is more lost than Paris Hilton at a nun convention, so I think it's great to get the rookies out there and see who fills the slot for next season.

Sort of oink's me me off that he hasn't played more this season. When he played for the Buckeyes, I really can't remember him dropping a pass and he would be a welcome addition to a drop pass happy starting receiving corps. I think the reason that he was out of bounds on that one pass yesterday was that he had to leap so high to even catch the ball he probably wasn't thinking much about where his feet were going to land. Throw him the ball!

Robiskie determined: Rookie receiver Brian Robiskie has only one catch in five games, but hopes to be more productive soon.

"Obviously it's tough not winning, and then not being able to contribute to help the team, that's the biggest thing," he said. "But I'm willing to do whatever it takes for us to win games."

He said it's hard for his dad, Falcons receivers coach Terry Robiskie, not to try to coach him over the phone.

"Yeah, it's been that way all of my life," said Brian Robiskie. "Everywhere I've gone I've had coaches who do something their way and he's watching me and he'll want to tell me something and he just can't. He understands that and he's never been too hard with that."

Is he still hard on his son?

"Definitely. No question."

So what does father tell son?

"The biggest thing is that he's just telling me to keep working," said Robiskie. "He just said to keep going, keep working every week and something's going to change and you just got to be ready for it."

Derek Anderson said Robiskie's time will come.

"I don't think it's a lack of him not being able to do it," he said. "Those guys are working their tails off and they're getting better. When we watched it, he did a great job of getting open late in routes. Sometimes he wasn't in the progression, but he did a good job getting in the right spot."

Browns? rookie wide receivers in rut
Scott Petrak

BEREA ? Mohamed Massaquoi couldn?t hide the disgust.

He made the catch on the sideline Wednesday during practice, but not before a juggle that would have led to an incompletion in a game. He threw the ball up to himself and let out a big sigh.

Minutes earlier, Brian Robiskie dropped a ball during a rapid-fire drill and was sent back to the starting line by coordinator Brian Daboll.

Life in the NFL remains filled with potholes for the rookie receivers thrust into the starting lineup and spotlight after the Oct. 7 trade of Braylon Edwards. The offense has scored just one touchdown in three games since, quarterback Derek Anderson?s three-game stretch is the worst in the NFL in decades and Massaquoi and Robiskie are being blamed for both.

?Obviously it?s tough not winning, and then not being able to contribute to help the team, that?s the biggest thing,? Robiskie said Wednesday. ?I haven?t been in anything like this, but it?s part of it. We have to deal with this adversity and we have to get through it and keep moving forward.

?I?m willing to do whatever it takes for us to win games.?

Robiskie had the perfect pedigree when the Browns drafted him with the 36th pick in April. His dad, Terry, played in the NFL and has coached receivers for years, including with the Browns.

He fell behind Massaquoi, the 50th pick, in the preseason and was inactive for Weeks 2 and 3. The trade opened the door for him to start, but his only catch was a 23-yarder Oct. 18 in Pittsburgh. He was blanked again by Green Bay Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Woodson on Sunday.

?Obviously they want us to come out and practice hard and watch the film, and you want to do all those things and all those things help,? Robiskie said. ?But the best way to learn is to go out and play. I?ve learned so much more just being out on the field, going through it and seeing it live.?

(On how the rookie receivers have improved)- "They have a much better feel, Brian (Robiskie) was inactive the first few games so he is just really out here new. I think the speed of the game for him, a little bit, is slowing down. He did a nice job, I know he didn't have any production in Green Bay, of creating some separation against some tighter coverage against (Charles) Woodson and (Al) Harris. Mohamed, I think he continues to improve. He has got good quickness of hearing the play in the huddle, going out there executing it, seeing it, making a split decision on what they are doing defensively. I think that's new to him and they are going to continue to improve on that."

(On Anderson's intercepted pass intended for Robiskie)- "It was an inside route for Brian and we ran it on one of the earlier plays on third down. We actually threw it to Mohamed, we got the coverage to throw it to Mohamed. Mohamed had Harris beat by a couple yards. We got pressured and the play was behind him, behind Harris, but we had him on the go route. The next time we ran it, we got a different coverage. Brian did a nice job of coming up and the play earlier he went and banged into Woodson and must have had about six yards of separation. He was banging into him again and D.A. let it go a little early and miss threw on it."

•ON THE SIDE: Receiver Brian Robiskie continues to struggle to make a mark in his rookie season. Robiskie, who has only one reception, was deactivated for the third time this season. He didn't play in either of the first two games but was active the next seven games.

The only reason Brian Robiskie is inactive, other than the coaches think he has been slow to develop, is the Browns wanted to give more work to Stuckey. It's a shame they can't figure out a way to get more out of their second-round pick -- he has only one catch this season.
