http://packers.com/news/releases/2006/09/11/2/ After our pitiful KR on sunday it coulden't hurt to have him here, I just pray he gets his act together and is not a cancer to our locker room.
I think he will help out the return game and it's nice to have another receiver on the roster. Robert Ferguson still hasn't done much, so if Robinson could be #2 or #3, that would be awesome. With any luck, all of his appeals will take at least a year, so hopefully he'll be able to play the whole season.
Good pickup. Robinson was never a locker room problem, in fact, most of the Vikings players were sad to see him go. Good to see that he's getting another chance...

Alchoholism is serious thing I just hope he is able to get over it and get another chance in this league be it with the Packers or someone else.
I like the move for the most part. We needed a lot of help. Hopefully he'll be allowed to play the entire year. If he is I think he'll be starting ahead of Jennings because of experience. Either way this gives us a semi legit threat assuming he plays this year.
I'd say if you were a drunk looking to blend in somewhere ... Green Bay is as good a place as any. Hopefully the idiot doesn't get back behind the wheel when he's drunk and kill a cheesehead family on the highway to grandma's house. How many strikes do you get in football?
Can you not use the EDIT button? And is it possible for you to stay on topic? And can you get any stupider...

After the way the packers play they need another playmaker aside from Driver. Koren Robinson will do good returning kicks. But what the packers need most is a good offensive line. Favre cant get the ball to Driver, Jennings and Robinson if he is on his back. Looking at the game, it seemed like most of the pressure was coming up through the middle. The packers have two good tackles, but inexpreienced guards and centers.
Actually the Tackles seemed to have alot of trouble themselves(especially Clifton) I don't know if it's his injury or if he just isn't fitting into the scheme yet.
I think Clifton was battleing illness more then anything and looked drained. I think Koren will be a good fit for Brett and hopefully boost his spirits a little and help get something going. The Saints could be just what we need to jumpstart our offence
I can't imagine KoRo is going to be allowed to play this season. I'm assuming he's signed to nothing more than the league minimum?
This week we'll get to see what kind of shape the Line is in. It's hard to gauge just how bad the bleeding is when you start out the season playing one of the NFL's best (if not THE best) defenses. If New Orleans gives us fits, I'll start to worry.
