AlaskanFAN 1,666 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Rams trade former #2 overall pick and Auburn player Greg Robinson to the Detroit Lions for a 6th round draft pick. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19642710/former-no-2-pick-greg-robinson-traded-detroit-lions-los-angeles-rams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Not sure why but GR has just not lived up to expectations with the Rams....but still drawing that nice NFL paycheck.....maybe a change of scenery will help revitalize him. Looks like the Lions got him pretty cheap ...unless they have to take over his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would fit in with a run first team better, but that was Jeff Fisher's thing so maybe not. That's still not Detroit either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,829 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I still don't think I have ever seen someone as dominant in the run game at the college level. G-Rob was mauling dudes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,829 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Had he been struggling in run blocking for the Rams as well? IDK how vast the differences are in the run games in Gus' offense vs NFL offenses but I assume they are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK how vast the differences are in the run games in Gus' offense vs NFL offenses but I assume they are different. You made a good point.....could be that Gus's offense does not help develop good offensive linemen for the NFL. For the past few years, we have not been very good at pass blocking for our QBs... which has caused some to them to take beatings...JJ rarely had time to throw and could not adapt to the situation and SW got beat up pretty badly too. GR is probably pretty typical of our OL under Gus...no matter who the OL coach has been. Even for the coming season I worry whether our OL can adequately protect Stidham or White...thinking most of our guys are the road grader type, and not quick enough to pick up an aggressive pass rush.

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 We were pretty solid in pass pro last year, and even Robert Leff (who I respect and am not trying to knock but possessed 1/10 of Robinson's talent) got a look from the NFL. The problem isn't the system. Robinson should be playing Guard at the next level, but he's a little tall for the ideal inside. He has the athleticism to play inside.

AUApostle 7,651 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 It's pretty simple...Rams took a chance that they could mold him into a pass blocker...it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
