Bijan Robinson is special

He's making NFL defenders look stupid.  What a special talent and what an absolute moron Tom Herman was for having this dude ride the bench as a freshman. 

I bet he would have had more playing time if it weren’t for the unfortunate scorpion vs tech.

He will start against the Bengals on Friday.

From the AJC:

Quote

 

Robinson is set to start when the Falcons (1-0) host the Bengals (0-1) in the exhibition home opener at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

He has had a strong training camp while learning the intricacies of several positions in the Falcons’ offense. Robinson, along with 35 other players, were held out of the exhibition opener at Miami.

“They all need to play at some point,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said. “You’re trying to play the long game, too. He’s going to play. We’re not going to go crazy. We just need the reps.”

Don’t expect a full load for Robinson or the rest of the starters.

“We need to get out our bread and butter and concepts in there and see his tracks,” Smith said. “We are not going to sit there and show everything, but we need to execute well.”

Just the basics for Robinson.

“So, he can feel the speed, there’s a little bit more speed than he’s felt out there in practice,” Smith said. “He’ll get tackled, and we’ll get ready to go for Sept. 10 (the regular-season opener against Carolina).”

The funny part of above quote is that NFL defenses will have a much more difficult time adjusting to Bijan... 😋

If those idiots break Bijan using him as a KR..

No words

Pretty sure after watching that flip scorpion he had he's nearly unbreakable. I guess the arm thing was pretty bad but kind of a freak accident. 

I agree though he should be used as a running back and wide out.

Thank fuck for that. Very soon we will have a few glorious weeks with nothing but football.

Also, Bijan may singlehandedly bring the run game back to the NFL...we shall see.

He’s going to take the RB position into the future. He’s going to build off of what backs like Roger Craig and LT started and what McCaffery is currently doing. He’s going to create mismatches all over the field and will lead to kids wanting to play the position like that.
