There's more than one way to play defensive end says Dominique Robinson, and the disappointing third-year edge player decided to try the other way to do it in a prove-it-or-else year.
Bears third-year defensive end Dominique Robinson took a look in the mirror figuratively and possibly literally, then determined something needed to be done.
"It was a grind," Robinson said. "It got put on, honestly, once I got the right numbers to put that weight on it was fairly easy. I just had to stick to it. It sucked because you're trying to eat so much and you're not hungry at times, but you gotta do what you gotta do."Last year Pro Football Focus had given Robinson a grade against the run that would have left him next to last in the NFL out of 113 NFL edge players.
"In all honestly, that play that I made on that third down, it was a huge factor," Robinson said. "I had a pulling tackle coming back to kick me out, but I was able to kind of hold my ground and still stand firm in my gap and still make the play at the same time.Dominique Robinson is a guy that I'm really intrigued by on the Bears. Makes a nice play knifing across the RT's face for a TFLWhether this continues isn't a question.
