Notes: Robinson may move up

He could replace ailing Ferguson

By TOM SILVERSTEIN

Posted: Oct. 3, 2006

In the rare times that Koren Robinson has lined up at wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Brett Favre has not hesitated to throw the ball to him.

Favre might have reason to give it to him even more because a foot injury to receiver Robert Ferguson will move Robinson up in the pecking order.

Ferguson suffered an injury that coach Mike McCarthy said was severe enough that it would make him doubtful for the game Sunday against St. Louis. McCarthy said there was no fracture in the foot as Ferguson feared after the game against Philadelphia Monday night, but gave no other details.

Robinson caught two passes Monday, one from Favre and one from backup Aaron Rodgers, for gains of 12 and 11 yards. In the Detroit game, he caught a 24-yard pass from Favre on his first play from scrimmage with the Packers.

Ferguson has been serving as the No. 3 receiver behind Donald Driver and rookie Greg Jennings, and though McCarthy didn't speak to it Tuesday, it's logical that Robinson would move into Ferguson's spot. Ruvell Martin is another option but Martin was inactive against the Eagles.

One hurdle Robinson has to pass is a court date today in Kirkland, Wash. It is a probation hearing related to Robinson's arrest for driving under the influence in May 2005. Because of another arrest in Mankato, Minn., involving drinking and driving, a judge could revoke Robinson's parole and force him to serve jail time.

Robinson is scheduled to appear in front of the judge and isn't expected at practice. It's possible the probation hearing will be delayed until the most recent case comes to a conclusion, but the judge will determine what action to take

jeezus.

next on the chopping block: ROBERT FERGUSON. pack your bags son. it's coming.

this guy is more injury-prone than Najeh Davenport for chrissakes. he came out of that game with TWO injuries. the foot (apparently) and the ribs.

for leagues that award points for return yardage, KRobinson could be a nice pick-up, in the Wes Welker mold - good return yards + occasional work in the passing game.

let my boy Ruvell get a chance. He's soooo close

Real curious how Favre reacts if he gets a case of the "dropsies" like he did often in Seattle. If so, I hope Favre is miced(miked?) up for that game. Totally different than the break your fingers trying attitude his previous WRs have had.

The question is how will Robby react when Favre sails one over his head on a crossing pattern right into the safties arms??

any chance we can change the name of all the Ferguson revolution banners we had made up to say Robinson Revolution?

Koren's "Last Call" tour?

Along the lines of Troy Brown, do you think Koren could play CB?
