BenFred: Robinson can still live up to potential with Rams

Dennis Lorio’s Louisiana drawl doesn’t sugarcoat.

He knows the highest-drafted offensive lineman from his home state is taking his lumps in the league.

But the former Thibodaux High football coach makes a reasonable plea for patience in the case of Greg Robinson.

Lorio is one of the people the Rams called when they were vetting the All-SEC left tackle out of Auburn, whom they drafted No. 2 in 2014.

He’s the guy who moved Robinson from defensive end to the other side of the ball before Robinson started his junior season of high school, a switch that resulted in the emergence of a top-10 recruit among O-linemen in the 2011 class.
