ALLEN PARK -- Greg Robinson got the call last night, and he was shocked. The Rams had traded the offensive tackle to Detroit just three seasons after taking him second overall in the NFL draft.
But Robinson wasn't exactly disappointed by the move either. He knew he hadn't lived up to his lofty expectations in L.A., and immediately realized what kind of opportunity the Lions could offer.
A badly needed fresh start.

The moves are the surest sign yet that Detroit intends to be without left tackle Taylor Decker for a very long time.
