Greg Robinson aims to 'clean up' gameGary Klein
Greg Robinson’s reputation has preceded him.
That, at least, is one reason why the Rams’ left tackle said he has been called for multiple holding penalties this season.
Robinson, the No. 2 pick in the 2014 draft, struggled with penalties during his first two seasons.
“I probably have gained as far as like a bad reputation, just due to the fact that early on in the league when I was a rookie and a second-year guy, I created a name for myself,” Robinson said. “I feel like they’re watching for that.
“So the main thing is just try my best to be strict on myself and fix those things I’m struggling with.”
The 6-foot-5, 332-pound Robinson was cited for four penalties in last week’s 17-10 loss to the New York Giants in London. After the game, Coach Jeff Fisher said Robinson needed to “clean it up a bit” and continue to learn.
“Second to the quarterback position on offense, the left-tackle position is probably hardest to play,” Fisher said. “When you're trying to get people out on routes, and trying to get the ball here and there, oftentimes he's going to be left on his own.
“Again, Greg is a talented player. But, you know, we didn't bring Greg into our organization thinking we were going to throw 50 times.”
