    Any word on Adrian Robinson to this point? Last year he was tabbed as a " one trick player" with his rush ability, and nothing more. Baxter has been mentioned as the same type of player, but I haven't seen much on either? Seeing what Keisel said about DL letting DE loose made me wonder if a guy with " one trick" would ever fit the bill on those downs?

    Colbert acknowledged that Baxter has caught his eye during training camp.

    Here's a little blurb from Lolley about Robinson

    @ Last year's camp phenom, Adrian Robinson, is this year's whipping boy.

    Tomlin chewed Robinson out during backs on backers, saying, "Adrian, you don't inspire me from an energy standpoint. You had better pick your **** up."

    Robinson, it appears, is being passed by this year's camp phenom, Alan Baxter.

    I haven't heard much about Robinson other than his being out of practice the last couple days. I read a quick snippet about him edge rushing past Matt Spaeth to get to a running back during a scrimmage last week.

    On the other hand, I continue to hear good things about Baxter...though to be fair, he's been going up against Mike Golic Jr. mostly.
