Miami Dolphins Pass On Brian Robiskie

by Kevin Nogle on Nov 2, 2011 10:02 PM EDT in 2012 Miami Dolphins News

The Miami Dolphins passed on former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Brian Robiskie, declining to put in a waiver claim. Miami, who was thought to desire the wide out during the 2009 draft, currently only have three health receivers after placing Marlon Moore on injured reserve earlier this week - as well as a man short on their active roster.

The good news for the Dolphins, however, is that the three healthy receivers are their three top wide outs: Brandon Marshall, Davone Bess, and Brian Hartline. Hartline was teammates with Robiskie at Ohio State University.

While Miami does have a fourth wide receiver, rookie Clyde Gates, on their active roster, Gates missed last week with a groin injury. The rookie was limited in practice today, as per the Dolphins official injury report.

Practice squad receiver Julius Pruitt is thought to be the leading candidate to fill the 53rd slot on Miami's active roster. "They haven't told me officially but there's a pretty good chance," Pruitt said on Wednesday.

Robiskie had slid down the Browns depth chart recently, and was released in order to make room for running back Thomas Clayton yesterday. Robiskie was awarded off of waivers to the Jacksonville Jaguars today.

I suppose Dallas wasn't interested, either.

I never got a prize for doing what was expected of me.

Why?

Only if you need a WR to make a playoff push do you go for an aging WR. We’re not looking for a postseason run right now.

- Attempting to debate with a person who has abandoned reason is like giving medicine to the dead.
- Defeat isn't bitter if you don't swallow it.

I say bring a guy off of someone else's PS,

the WRs on ours are not ready to play and this would give us another body.

WHY SIGN ROBISKIE?

We might win a game. That’s THEIR (FO) thinking. Not that he and Hartline were teammates and they may have some chemistry playing together again. That he may make the team even next year. NO. And you people are surprised. I’m not. Not anymore, I’m not.
