ST. Allen Craig Jersey . LOUIS - Rookie Greg Robinson has been getting double duty at guard and tackle in training camp for the St. Louis Rams. The No. 2 pick has been equal to the task. "They need me to cross train," Robinson said Tuesday night after practicing in 90-degree heat. "Im just trying my best to learn it all." Robinson projects as a main tackle eventually, but being versatile is always a plus. He admits its been difficult mentally at times. Since getting drafted, Robinson has been quizzed about the complexity of the Rams offence compared with Auburns straightforward schemes. Hes getting a little weary of it, calling it "the question of the whole camp." "They expect me to know it and Ive been working hard and Im coming along," Robinson said. "Theres a few things I dont remember, but Im coming along well and starting to play a little faster." The Rams had a need early in camp with left tackle Jake Long and guard Rodger Saffold rehabbing from injuries. Even though both likely will play in the third preseason game at Cleveland, Robinson will be alternating spots again. Hell start at left guard and move to left tackle after Longs day is done. Saffold, whos been hampered by a stinger in his left shoulder, can relate to Robinsons challenge. Hes settling in at right guard this season, but last year he had five starts at right guard, three starts at right tackle and one at left tackle. "I just hope that its good for him to be able to see the big picture," Saffold said. "The more you know, the better understanding, the better you react to blitzes and other things that you can see out of the corner of your eye, which is great." Robinson left Auburn after two seasons and at age 21 is the second-youngest player in camp. The Rams are factoring in the youth element, anticipating hell grow into his role, but hes already good enough to start at two spots. "A lot of people say I look better at tackle than guard, but thats all opinions," Robinson said. "Im just trying my best to learn." Saffolds injury is to the same shoulder that brought him back to St. Louis after signing a free agent deal with Oakland, but then failing his physical. He said hes felt ready for a couple of weeks, but that the teams medical staff is playing it safe. He was hurt in practice when he got hit from two angles at the same time. He did individual work Tuesday. "It was nowhere as bad as the last time," Saffold said. "I know they want to be super cautious and thats fine," Saffold said. Ready to get to work, too. "I feel in shape, I feel rested, good all the way around," he said. "Im just itching to hit somebody else." Notes: Former Rams LB Isiah Robertson was among those watching practice on the next to last day of training camp. "What an honour to have him in the building," coach Jeff Fisher said. ... DT Michael Brockers returned to practice from an ankle injury, but linebacker James Laurinaitis (ankle) remained sidelined. Travis Lakins Red Sox Jersey . Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Raptors have traded forward Steve Novak along with a second-round pick to the Utah Jazz in exchange for guard Diante Garrett - who will then be waived. Fred Lynn Red Sox Jersey . Completely. Two days after releasing Peyton Manning, the longtime face of the franchise, the Colts announced they were cutting four fan favourites: running back Joseph Addai, linebacker Gary Brackett, safety Melvin Bullitt and tight end Dallas Clark. https://www.cheapredsox.com/ . - Playing a road game against a division rival raises the intensity for linebacker Clay Matthews.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - In his six months in New Orleans, undrafted linebacker Todd Davis was waived four times, bouncing back and forth between the Saints practice squad and their active roster.Now hes part of Denvers deep linebacker corps thats being tested following injuries to Danny Trevathan (dislocated left kneecap) and top tackler Brandon Marshall (sprained right foot) last weekend.Marshall is expected back for the playoffs. Hes hoping the Broncos can wrap up a first-round bye in Cincinnati on Monday night without him. That would give him a month to get well before Denver would host a divisional round game the weekend of Jan. 10-11.The Broncos claimed Davis off waivers Nov. 13 from New Orleans, where he played primarily on special teams, although he didnt arrive in time to play at St. Louis three days later.I just wanted to bring something to the team. Special teams, backup on defence, whatever it was, I just wanted to do something positive and just bring something to the team every day, Davis said.Davis found an immediate comfort level in Denver. Not just on special teams, but on defence, where he fits the mould that defensive co-ordinator Jack Del Rio favours in his linebackers: smaller, quicker, instinctive.It felt like home. It didnt feel like I was coming here as much as an outsider or anything, Davis said. It just felt like the right fit. As soon as I got here, it felt good.And he proved a quick study.He quickly began appearing in some of the teams specialty packages ahead of drafted rookies Lamin Barrow and Corey Nelson. When Marshall got hurt Sunday, Davis logged 28 snaps from scrimmage and with Von Miller lined up at defensive end, he was often the only linebacker on the field when Denver sealed its 22-10 win at San DDiego. Sandy Leon Red Sox Jersey. I think hes adapted quickly, coach John Fox said. He does have good football awareness and football character. I think hes done a very good job in this short time.Davis could find himself with an even bigger role over the next two weeks as the Broncos await Marshalls return.Its quite a turn of events for Davis, who went undrafted after earning All-Big Sky Conference honours with 131 tackles his senior year at Sacramento State. His poor times in the 40-yard dash scared away NFL scouts.Aw man, yeah. I think it was just me putting too much on myself, trying to go out there and be fast and trying to do too much, Davis said. I think it was just me putting too much on myself, trying to do too much, trying to be too fast. I mean, Im out there running sprints the day before, trying to be the best I can be and then by the time I got to pro day my body, I think my body was just gassed.The Saints signed him a month before training camp started, and he was waived every month starting in August, bouncing back and forth from the practice squad to their 53-man roster.Hed been through this drill so many times, he thought nothing of it when he was demoted in November.Their plan was to bring me back, he said.So, he turned off his phone when he went to work out on the Saints off day.When he turned it back on, his phone began buzzing with all the messages hed missed.It was crazy that my phone was off at such a critical time, Davis said. Because truthfully, I didnt really think Id be going anywhere.Now hes trying to help Denver go deep in the playoffs.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton ' ' '
