Re: Cam Robinson Arrested

Unfreakingbelievable...... First Baldwin (RT) and now Cam (LT). I can't even put into words how stupid he must be.

We were already going to be replacing an All-American Center as it is.... AND having another 4-Man+ race for a new starting QB. Not feeling real optimistic about this coming year's OL and offense in general to be honest.

If this happened in August I'd be concerned. It's May, we've got time, not going to fret over it just yet.

Re: Cam Robinson Arrested

Among many things, Coach says he tells players - nothing good happens after midnight, nothing good happens with guns, and nothing good happens fraternizing with ladies you don't know late at night. Glad to see no women were in the car!

Re: Cam Robinson Arrested

Just saw Finebaum on ESPN and one quote he had was telling...

When asked how much of a hit it is to BAMA his response was "it is catastrophic"... Went on to say he spoke to an offensive staffer last week and was told the offense has major issues but at least they have Cam. Without Cam our offense may be as inept as it looked on A-day.

I hope and pray that is coach speak b/c if not, either the coaching really stinks or the recruiting gurus missed on a lot of players.

For the record, I believe it is coach speak..

I also remember that there was a time when Finebaum was on the "Alabama's dynasty is over and Gus Malzahn is here to stay" train as well and he was dead wrong about that. A lot of coaching and development will happen between now and the USCw game. It does every year.

If the charges are proven, neither of these young men will play a down of competitive football again. If reduced below the level of felony, possibly get through this with a lengthy suspension.

Re: Cam Robinson Arrested

From Saban's talk a few weeks ago in Atlanta . . .

Seems these guys are the Energy Vampires he talked about - said out of 100 guys there are usually five who act up.

“The power of one is much greater than trying to affect the whole group.” He said he starts with three players and then counts on them to talk to three players . . .

“Mediocre people don’t like high achievers, and high achievers don’t like mediocre people.” However, most leaders spend their time with the 5 percent of people doing things wrong—“energy vampires,” he calls them. If 95 percent of your team is doing the right thing, he advised leaders to focus on them.
I'm not defending those kids or anything, but I'm not comfortable with this post. Could you kinda explain what you meant by this post? Cam Robinson have done everything right during his time with UA and He made one mistake and you called him energy vampire? I would think that Saban was talking about players who is doing things that theyre not supposed to do or refuses to do it. IE, Baldwin. That's a perfect example of Energy Vampire.

It's Finebaum. Keep that in mind. I personally count him as 50% credible, 50% "hey, look at me!". (Can't use the description I would in a verbal discussion) :wink:

*blank stare* It's Finebaum.. I mean it's him... Did he say something about the Alabama team after the loss to Ole miss... and talked about how Saban was done?

LOL Why? This is nothing new compared to what we've experienced on OL and starting QBs. Coaches will have the ready no matter who is on the OL this fall.

Saban said members of the team who "suck your time" are energy vampires. What do you think the focus of Alabama football is today? Reacting to this. It's not a productive use of time. I have no idea if Robinson has done everything right and this is a one mistake moment. I'm simply repeating what Saban said on stage almost two weeks ago.

Re: Cam Robinson Arrested

Lord, I hate offseason...
"Saban had a message for players before they went home for the three weeks off.

"It is time for you to relax but you can still grow," Saban said. "It doesn't mean you have to work out every day. It doesn't mean you have you have to kill yourself, but you can still grow in terms of how you think, the choices and decisions that you make in terms of what's going to benefit you in being a better player and better competitor next year."

Finebaum is also the same guy that said on Monday he believes the barn vs clemson game will be close. Yeah, OK.

Re: Cam Robinson Arrested

I just heard the news this morning at a church landscaping project. One of the members is a Bama fan and he told me. Said it was going to make an impact this season. I told him we have a long way to go and I wouldn't be surprised if some Gators get into trouble too before the season starts back up.

I hate the off season.

Re: Cam Robinson Arrested

Just saw what CNS said on those players: " ""We are aware of the situation involving Hootie Jones and Cam Robinson and are in the process of gathering facts to determine what internal action needs to be taken,"

The statement sounds similar to Cyrus, Kenyan and Geno when they were arrested... But very different from when 4 former players busted for robbery and he released statement...

Sounds like we probably wont know anything for days.... But I saw the LA Police is having new conference at 2pm to discuss the arrest of Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones.

Re: Cam Robinson Arrested

Things like this are a Godsend to people like Finebaum. It gives them something to talk about and use to work up callers. While he does have some access and occasionally some information that is relevant, the troll is going to happen first.

Hopefully some information comes out that indicates this is less of an issue, hopefully there is no further information that can come out. Still doesn't change the fact that it was MULTIPLE very bad decisions rolled into one.

I know for me when I was making some of the same types of bad decisions, it wasn't a single occurrence. In fact it was a whole host of minor bad decisions that did not have enough consequences to deter them. The later ones that became increasingly more damaging. Another hope: this one will be a huge wake up call.
