Sammy Watkins has the same kind of issues from time to time. Robinson made a couple of nice grabs later in the game.
It was the first game of a season with no OTA's or preseason games.
I think the coaches know what they are doing.

Nate Taylor said Andy was very vanilla compared to what he’s seen in practice so obviously the fireworks won’t come out until probably Baltimore.
It’s just a shame seeing Robinson over a better receiver, vanilla or not. Hardman is a much better receiver.
Robinson is a more physical blocker. And they wanted to run the ball last night. [Reply]

The second hit him in the hands. It was a beauty of a throw by Mahomes.
Two totally different receivers. Drob isn't great as 1 or a 2, but he is a great complement to our weapons. Reid has talked a lot about his ability to improv. Can't argue with results. He may have the dropsies but when we are at full force he always gets open. [Reply]

Other than Reek, he's by far the best WR on the team at ad libbing when Pat scrambles. [Reply]
I'm sure it will all play out in the course of the season I still have high hopes to see Hardman compliment Tyreek Hill as an unstoppable duo to reckon with.
Last night was all about the running game with CEH and Mahomes didn't target Tyreek but a few times. Obviously Texans didn't want to give up the big play so Andy had the perfect game plan. [Reply]

I think this is the most likely case.
That's the same thing going on with Gay/Niemann. The Chiefs are playing matchups right now and doing a whole bunch of 4D chess. They're trying to give Niemann some time in the base D, to see if he's worth keeping there; that blocks out Gay's chances in the near term. And right now they're playing Gay behind Wilson anyway.
In dime, Gay wasn't needed. His spot was next to Niemann, but the Chiefs played DOD there all game because he spies Watson really well -- it seems that the only reason we keep DOD on the 53 is because he spies Deshaun Watson once or twice a year. [Reply]

It may also be that they thought they didn’t need him and we’re going to focus on establishing the run, in which case Robinson’s a pretty physical and reliable blocker.
And Reid shows NOTHING when he has a lead. When they were up 24-7 and the running game was working, he probably just too Hardman out of the game plan.

Remember what Hardman did to the Ravens last year? Why show it now?

Sorry, but this is just horseshit. Robinson has had 4 years to take over a starting position and he's fucked it up every time. When Robinson first got here our WR corp sucked and he couldn't takeover. When all the injury issues not Robinson still can't get it done.
I think Robinson has 1 good game last year and everyone started talking about what a stud he is. Then he disappeared. Robinson may have blocked well against the Texans but he dropped 2 touchdown passes and a 1st down pass which negates every fucking block he made all game long. [Reply]
