Dunta Robinson: Jags’ last good receiver was Jimmy Smith

The Falcons humiliated the Jaguars on the field during Thursday night’s 41-14 beatdown, and it didn’t end there.

Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson also decided to make fun of the Jaguars’ wide receivers (who totaled seven catches for 89 yards on Thursday) after the game.

Those guys are [f--king] jokes,” Robinson said, via the Florida Times-Union. “Those guys couldn’t get a [f--king] receiver if it hit them in the head.”

Robinson, who covered the Jaguars’ receivers twice a year from 2004 to 2009 when he played for the Texans, singled out Matt Jones as a failed Jaguars first-round draft pick at wide receiver. And he said it’s been a long time since Jacksonville has had a receiver who was difficult to cover.

“They haven’t had anyone decent since Jimmy Smith,” Robinson said.

Smith retired after the 2005 season -- the last time a Jaguars receiver had 1,000 yards in one year.
