PRO FOOTBALL : DAILY REPORT : RAMS : Robinson Promises Competition

Ram Coach John Robinson says this season’s training camp will be much different from those in years past.

“It’s going to be very competitive,” Robinson said, just before the team meeting that opened camp at UC Irvine. “It’s competitive at corner and at safety, at outside linebacker and inside linebacker, at defensive end. At defensive tackle--not much depth there. The depth is young, so there isn’t probably the depth to compete there. So that’s a big concern.

“Offensively, at tight end, there’s competition. There are four tackles. There are three guards at two positions, and there are two centers. Competition at tailback. (Fullbacks) Buford McGee and Bobby Delpino, there’s competition there.”

The Rams, one of six NFL teams that had not signed any World League of American Football players, signed tackle Theo Adams, who played for the WLAF champion London Monarchs. Adams attended the Rams’ 1990 training camp.

In other roster moves, the Rams released defensive end Derrick Carr, defensive tackle Ivor Filiaga, safety Robert Benton, linebacker Michael Lindsey, tackle Brian Inman and tackle Darren Grudt.
