TheKillerNacho Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21363481/detroit-lions-waive-left-tackle-greg-robinson The 2nd overall pick of the Rams looks to find his third NFL team as the Lions waive/injured him with the imminent return of Taylor Decker. The Lions gave up a 6th round pick in the offseason to acquire him. He looked improved as a Lion earlier in the year, but has regressed in recent weeks, possibly due to being banged up. Not sure if a team signs him right now due to his ankle injury, but he'll probably get another chance in the NFL this offseason at least due to his draft status.

Forge Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 He's so very, very bad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmurtry86 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Have to think he will get one more chance, maybe not until next summer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Never thought he was that great of a prospect to begin with but damn. Still though, I wouldn't mind the Cowboys just trying him out. We are hitting on guys we bring in. Cooper has been nice so far, and I wouldn't mind a backup for him or Martin on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzane Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 GASP! I thought this firmer #2-overall was supposedly doing better with Detroit, fit in with their scheme, etc. .............? Louis Friend Veteran Members 15 11,323 posts Posted September 10 After watching a few plays back, our OL played extremely well. Stafford's sack was due to him holding the ball too long. Overall, he had great protection all game long. Greg Robinson has been a nice addition with Decker out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 He played well in preseason and the first few games of the season. Then he got injured and lost his spot to Brian Mihalik. Now, Taylor Decker is back and Robinson is still injured. It was not shocking to see Bob Quinn cut him. He filled in while Decker was out and now he's gone.

bzane Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 @Louis Friend Well said, my Friend! And I wasn't really jumping on your stuff, I just recalled that some people had touted Robinson as a reclamation project by the Lions this year. As a fan of the tackle-bereft NY Giants, I have a morbid interest in other team's OT's- especially left-side ones. I remember that Greg Robinson's draft stock rose exponentially the closer the draft drew near, eventually surpassing the early favorite as Best Left Tackle, Jake Matthews; and ending up in the high thin air of #2 Overall!!! He was promoted as a bigger, stronger Orlando Pace, etc.; rarely has one busted so far and so fast. Ah, well- the Lions gave him a chance, and it wasn't meant to be; I suppose with the cachet attached to high-first-round picks, he'll get another chance, elsewhere (just not the Giants, I hope, from what I'm reading).

Raves Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Might be worth moving him inside to OG by another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuy82 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Does he have a future at guard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Bring him to Houston. He can't be worse than Breno Giacomini or Chris Clark. Might be as bad, but you don't know unless you try him out right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 So he was playing fine til he got hurt? Sounds like he’s worth a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansNvolsR#1 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 He needs to find some way to sign with the Steelers and let Mike Munchak save his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Issue Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 We were wondering about a move inside before he was traded. But yeah, I dont think you will find a single Rams fan shocked at this bit of news. If the fans collectively tell you he sucks, he sucks. It isnt sour grapes.
