Rams cut the cord on Greg Robinson, a move long past due

The Los Angeles Rams mercifully jettisoned the underachieving Greg Robinson. A move that was a long time coming.

Los Angeles Rams fans won’t have tackle Greg Robinson to kick around anymore. That designation now firmly belongs to General Manager Les Snead, a Rasputin like figure who keeps hanging on in LA.

Snead, and cohort in dysfunction Jeff Fisher, selected the former No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. And today Mr. Robinson was appropriately reduced, via a trade, to Detroit for the value of a sixth-round pick in 2018.

Yes, the times they are a changin’ in Los Angeles.

You paying attention Todd Gurley?

How about you Jared Goff?

Gonna catch some football’s Mike Thomas?

Do something, anything Tavon Austin!

Let the slow bleed that had become the “Greg Robinson Situation” serve notice in Los Angeles that it’s not business as usual. You have to be more that a “Fisher guy.”

Robinson was lazy. Every year, his progress was measured in the tiniest and most insignificant sound bites about working hard, making progress, coaches liking what they were seeing, and blah, blah, blah.

He was the poster boy for everything that the Fisher/Snead era was: unproductive, tedious, underachieving, and losing.

Let’s be honest, Robinson was on borrowed time with the hiring of Sean McVay. He needed a Hail Mary moment to make this roster. And in classic Greg Robinson fashion, he fizzled out, like a joke with no punch line.

Yes LA, the times the are a changin’.

The Fisher era may be over, yet some of that mess is still lying around the facility. Today, some of it got cleaned up and properly disposed of.

But some of that dysfunction still remains. Maybe Greg Robinson is a sign, and perhaps some of those last vestiges will be shown the door sooner rather than later.

Les Snead to the blue courtesy phone please.
