I know Greg Robinson sometimes looked competent when he didn’t look wholly inept, during a stretch in which the Browns looked good.
But a historically bad player protecting your investment in Mayfield is awfully concerning.
Right like... Greg Robinson really wasn't very good at all this year. He graded poorly. He had a couple of backbreaker penalties in crucial spots.
He and Hubbard both benefitted greatly from the Haley to Kitchens change in play calling. They didn't magically become better players. Kitchens just dialed up a lot more quick hitting routes, a lot more screens, a lot more max protections on his deeper/slower developing routes.
On top of that, once Kitchens took over Mayfield seemed to have a much more noticeable "I'm not going to take a sack for any reason" mindset which led to him forcing a couple of throws that ended up being interceptions rather than eating sacks.
