Rams’ Robinson to make first NFL start tonight
44 minutes ago • By Jim Thomas jthomas@post-dispatch.com 314-340-8197The moment has arrived for offensive lineman Greg Robinson.
Robinson, the No. 2 overall draft pick from Auburn, is scheduled to start tonight for the Rams at left guard against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL’s Monday Night Football game at the Edward Jones Dome.
That means Rodger Saffold is moving again. He will start at right guard tonight. Veteran Davin Joseph, who started the first four games for St. Louis this season, is on the bench.
And that’s not the only lineup change for the Rams. On defense, rookie defensive tackle Aaron Donald is scheduled to start ahead of Kendall Langford.
Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams provided a very strong hint of the Donald lineup change Saturday, saying of Donald: “He would be a guy that I hope you guys have a chance to take a good look at this week.”
Five weeks into the regular season, the Rams feel that Robinson, who has played only on the extra point-field goal unit this season, has enough of a grasp of the team’s pass-blocking schemes and pass-blocking techniques to make his NFL debut on the offensive line.
“First and foremost, you hear him making calls and understanding the system,” offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said during the practice week. “That’s been good to see. . . .It’s a process. We saw it last year with some of those guys like Tavon (Austin) _some of the younger players. It takes time.
“Especially for a guy coming from a school that had a limited playbook. They didn’t do a whole lot. Again, you see the confidence, you see him making calls. You see him in meetings even kind of communicating things that he wouldn’t have seen maybe three, four months ago. So that’s exciting.”
With a physical San Francisco defensive front, led by former Missouri star Justin Smith, coach Jeff Fisher figured this would be the week to get the 332-pound Robinson out on the field.
Between Robinson and Saffold, the Rams will throw about 650 pounds of guards at the 49ers tonight.
“We’re a couple of strong guys,” Saffold said. “So this is gonna be a real battle, a true test.”
AgamemnonI saw a report that Barnes might start instead of Wells. This is based on who is warming up with Davis by a fan at the game.

I can see Robinson and Donald.
But 2 line changes? Against SF? With Barnes starting? On this one…if true…they better be right.

I like it and I don’t think they have much to lose by doing it. Wells and Joeseph weren’t doing much. imo
