After plenty of speculation regarding his status for Week 12, the Rams made left tackle
Greg Robinson a healthy scratch for the loss to the Saints. Robinson’s absence may be short-lived.
“There’s a good chance he’s our starting left tackle this week,” coach Jeff Fisher told reporters on Monday.
So why wasn’t he the starting left tackle last week?
“[T]he decision with Greg, as I talked to the staff last week, he just needed a break,” Fisher said. “Guys, sometimes in their career, need a break. I know he refocused, he recharged, he rebooted and he’s ready to go. The mental errors and the penalties, it was just time. . . . I expect Greg to be back and ready to roll. I had a good conversation with him today. He’s focused and he needed the break. We’ll just see how the rest of the guys respond.”
So far, the rest of the guys haven’t responded well, losing seven of 11 and six of seven. Even if the Rams run the table, it may not be enough to end a playoff drought that extends to 2004 for the Rams, and to 2008 for Fisher.
