Here's to you, Mr. Robinson
Wednesday's story in the Tribune about Justin Robinson has generated a few e-mails. Looks like some folks don't think the senior cornerback is good at this job.

Here's an example: "He's one of the worst corners BYU has ever had.

He sucked all year last year and still sucks this year. . . . Don't sugar coat it, that's way it is.

"Oh, that's right we can't criticize any African-American player at BYU football; they for some reason are always untouchable no matter how bad they do. . . . Brian Mitchell sucked as a coach too. . . . Call it like it is - or does the truth hurt like a double edged sword?"

Like it or not, the truth is Justin Robinson is BYU's best cover corner.

Ben Criddle is giving him a run for his money. Criddle has helped solidify a secondary that got torched weekly last season. Plus, he can tackle. So while Robinson may be the best "cover" corner, Criddle is the best cornerback. Period.

By the way, Robinson has the heart of a lion. He may lack in size and be overmatched often, but he plays hard weekly and has improved greatly since last year.

Robinson probably is the team's best corner. What does that say?

PK, what a shame that your anonymous pen pal fashions himself as a BYU fan. His comment about African-American players may be one of the stupidest I've EVER read. I wonder what this guy was muttering to himself after he watched Robinson take an interception to the house last week. We all know that he's not the best we've ever had, but he's not awful. Justin gives everything he has, and that's all a fan or a coach can ask of him.
