Ok but i don't see it in him on the nfl level.
He probably still makes the team as a reserve. He covers decently, just continues to struggle with ball awareness. Doesn't make the play to break it up. Wouldn't be a total shock to see him shipped off for a 7th.

Over yo mamma!
The problem is ... the guy had an PICK SIX vs the Giants, had a pretty good game vs Houston, and a GREAT game vs Atlanta, and everyone he was a mediocre DB at NC State..

Agree

He needs much more game experience
He should be covering Benjamin, instead they are putting 5'10 Jimmy Ward on him.

Isn't Ward supposed to move inside (nickel) in passing situation?

Yup. Benjamin is not super fast. Lock them up all day. I'd even feel good with Robinson (think he got banged up though).

When Robinson went out with an injury it was Reaser that came in to take his place in 4CB sets. Do DJ is behind Reaser on the depth chart.

I noticed that as well.

Davis is the primary nickel back. The DC prefers to have CBs stay in one role (so outside guys stay outside). Ward played inside against the Rams only because Davis was injured.
