Koren Robinson reinstated.

Just saw it on the ESPN ticker. He's eligible to begin practicing immediately.

Couldn't have come at a better time.

Driver, Jennings, Jones, Robinson and Martin. Solid.

KORO should really help Favre, as it will give him a deep threat and a guy who Favre is very comfortable with.

He should also be a welcome addittion to the kick return game.

Better not let DrugBust see that, haha. Actually I agree that this is good and very helpful. We may not be able to run yet so we might as well put as many legitimate receiving threats in the barn as possible. I think Koren would be a great guy to line up on a 3 wide side of the field and to take a quick throw off of a bubble screen. Then you put Jones and Martin over there to and you have some decent blocking wideouts to help clear the way a little. Seems like it could work on paper at least and be another good dimension to add to the offense.

I am excited. Bye week to rest our injuries, and we get more depth/experience at the WR spot, and we get a guy who was a Pro-Bowl kick returner in 2005.

Hell ya. Now we can get woodson to stop returning punts and get Robinson back there. Woodson does nothing for me there. This is great to get him back right now. I figured they would reinstate him after a couple of days after the game on Sunday.

can anybody find me some highlights of him please???

I have looked all over the place and the only thing I can find is him dancing... :crazy:

It doesnt have to be from the packers, just video of him playing.

"During the months he wasn't serving time or working out in Phoenix with quarterback Brett Favre's personal trainer, Ken Croner, Robinson was in Green Bay, working on setting up a support system for his return. He said he doesn't fear returning to football and the culture of professional athletics."

Great news,like you said DB great timing with this.

The bye week will give Robinson an extra week of im sure much needed practice with the team before making his season debut.

What Woodson did was not fumble the ball, not dance around and go backwards and be smart back there (pouncing on the ball after it hit dumbass Bush last week). He's not Hester (who is) but he was solid.

I don't know about Koren as a punt returner(I see him as more of a kickoff specialist) but I do agree that they need to find someone other than Woodson to return punts. Not because Woodson's been bad because he hasn't. He's easily been our best PR since Rossum(I know, that's not saying much) but he's so damn fragile and he's nowhere near as important to our special teams as he is our defense.

On topic: I'm pretty excited to see Favre and Robinson pick up where they left off last year.

As near as I know KORO has never been a punt returner and I do not expect him to do that in GB.

I agree Woodson should NOT be exposed to injury as PR. He's done all right but he's too vital to D.

Tramon Williams looks ordinary.

Greg Jennings can return punts but he's always an injury waiting to happen. But now that we have more depth at WR maybe we can use Jennings as PR?

Siefer · Post #17 » by **Siefer** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 4:45 pm

I'm not sure what kind of immediate impact Koren will make, so the bye should be helpful in giving him more time to get up to speed. I think he immediately becomes our kick returner, which should give us some oomph there. I'm not sure what else to expect at this point. Still, this is very good news.

Well he was a Pro Bowl Kick Returner which should make him able to return punts. Im not sure why some guys do one but not the other. Hes only had 2 Punt Returns in his career. Though hes played 75 games hes only been a (kick) Returner for 18. (Since he was a starting wideout in Seattle I assume thats why they never used him there).
