Are T.White & R. Robinson better that our current CB combo?

why does everyone assume Robinson is better. Hell, I hope he is but I specifically focused on him on two occasions. He got beat off the line of scrimmage on both and his man caught the ball.

If Robinson takes mills spot then he is the truth.

I just cant figure out why you people always yearn for the damn backup.

its the same shite every year.

Well White started over Collins, so I'd assume it's safe to say he's better than Collins. I don't think Robinson is ready to start over Mills yet.

White and Robinson have way more potential than Collins/Mills.

Mills is just as physical as anyone. Maybe his bump and run can use work, but I like Mills.

Jalen Mills is not going to lose his starting spot. He hasnt done anything to lose it. He's been pretty solid as a second year player.

Jalen Collins on the other hand is just too slow to cover faster recievers.

Could collins slide to Safety for Loston? I know Eugene is good there and we have Martin.

RR has been on team less than a month.
That's pretty impressive.

White is possibly ready to start. He has at least shown he can hit like a safety in run support. Really like what he showed last game. An early bloomer in addition to elite athleticism.

Robinson is rumored to have PP7 level athleticism, if such a thing is possible. He didn't do nearly as much as White with his few snaps later in the game. Probably just needs some time for the light to come on. PP7 himself did not start right away as a freshman.

So to answer the OP's question. Yes, I believe that White and Robinson are probably more athletic than the Jalens, and we will know over the next few games if they are able to translate this to the field.

It's not like the Jalens are turrible though. Seems like everyone assumes they are uncoachable and need to be kicked off the team.
