Robinson had no practice squad eligibility left anyway, so if he wasn't going to make the team, he was gone for nothing. Seems like an alright move regardless of how Jones works out.kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-38605635553943942142013-08-23T13:12:19.035-04:002013-08-23T13:12:19.035-04:00I've seen others on other boards freaking out ...I've seen others on other boards freaking out about this trade. Either lamenting getting rid of Robinson, a player with a lot of "potential", or suggesting that Jones has to be a roster lock because, "Why trade for a guy you're just going to cut in a few weeks?". Trades like this happen all the time, it's just giving away a player you're not going to keep at a position of strength for a vet at a position that's banged up. If they cut him they're not out anything. Oh, and I live in Dallas, Jones is terrible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-74822910378794051292013-08-23T12:29:42.686-04:002013-08-23T12:29:42.686-04:00In grand scheme of things, they basically signed a...In grand scheme of things, they basically signed a veteran running back off the scrap heap.

LSH has been injured.<br /><br />Jones has been around long enough that he should be able to step in and run a handful of plays Saturday if needed.Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-82122463156378657612013-08-23T12:18:24.641-04:002013-08-23T12:18:24.641-04:00well, this trade gives you a glimpse as to how the...well, this trade gives you a glimpse as to how the steelers feel about dwyer and redman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
