The guest points out that the team has often brought in players who end up being surplus to requirements, indicating a lack of success with this approach in the past. Nevertheless, the guest believes that Robinson is one of the most talented individuals the team has ever recruited. They highlight his exceptional skills in the past, including his recent impressive performances. Additionally, the guest emphasizes Robinson's rapport with George Pickens, which bodes well for the team. Robinson's professionalism and mentorship could greatly benefit Pickens' development as a wide receiver. Overall, both the host and guest express optimism regarding Robinson's potential impact on the team.
In this episode, the guest also discusses the significance of quarterbacks understanding when to opt for big plays versus settling for shorter gains. They use the example of Patrick Mahomes, a successful quarterback, who possesses the ability to recognize when his receivers are in open space and can be reliable targets for shorter gains. The guest specifically mentions Travis Kelsey, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and how Mahomes understands that Kelsey is a dependable outlet when he finds himself in open space. This understanding enables the quarterback to make the most of the situation and keep the offense moving forward.

They highlight Robinson's developed rapport with quarterback Pickens and his role as a mentor. The guest recounts a play where Robinson improvised and went deep when the original play broke down, resulting in a significant gain.
