Gould's forte is that he's consistent inside 45. Good for Robbie - His path is cool, but at the same time it can be a concern. Perhaps there's a reason he wasn't found earlier? He's been solid for us thus far, but is there any statistical trend to suggest that he's improving/declining? I would've liked to seen how he played this season before shelling more out for him. |
It's nice to have touchbacks, but you have to look at the kick itself. Robbie gets some great hang-time on his KO's and that allows his ST unit to make plays on the return man. I'm fine with him getting the ball to the 5 darn near every time, with above average hang.
