Robinson makes team because of special teams skills

sheets is cause of being a Rookie, while Clayton might or might not, not sure off hand.

And MRob i agree makes it mostly for his ST play, plus they extended him through 2012 last year and wont cut him so soon.

Guys like Ulbrich, MRob, B.Jennings, Rossum, etc.. are worth roster spots, even if only on ST's. We need quality players, not neccesarly quanity.

Robinson is a 3rd down passing threat, and perhaps short yardage back.

M-Rob should not be our short yardage guy, that guy is Gore, and who knows, maybe Sheets or Coffee can step in to that role, but after that Arizona game last year, no dice.

Clayton is not a candidate for the PS anymore. He's been on it for 2 years, and that is the max.

Sheets is, but M-Rob and Coffee have similar game to Clayton.

My guess is this:

RB: Gore/Coffee/Sheets
FB: Norris/Robinson

Gore is the star RB who is always a threat. Coffee is that role player who reduces Gore's carries. Robinson is a 3rd down passing threat, and perhaps short yardage back. Sheets will be mostly special teams with some 3rd down usage.
