Bad news if this rumor is true !! According to my inside Raider sources looks like Barret Robins has allegedly tested positive for Ecstasy and is having serious off the field marital problems.

Must contain the source of the information to protect close friends and family.

Bad news, I don't think hes gonna make the final cut anyway, but this is a bad way to go out.

Looks like Grove will pick up the job, as long as he impresses during camp.

Isn't he barely walking after his knee surgery even?

He has been one of my favorite players too. I hope it is just a rumor

This guy does not deserve this. I hope this is just a bad rumor and he can suit up and play for us this season. We really need him on our offensive line.

If this guy is having these problems and not trying to get help for himself then it is his fault. Now if he is trying with help then i hope he makes it. Good talent but it wont mean nothing if he does not get his head screwed on right.

It seems like right when things are going good for him he ****s up again. This guy could be headed for an early grave if he ain't careful

If you wouldn't say it to hurt the source then why hurt Barret with a rumor someone will not put their name into? BULL

Amen. why start a rumor if you cannot provide the link. why be afraid to hurt the source when in reality all you doing is hurting barret and his family. whatever happens in his personal life is no ones business but his and his family. This is probably not even true.

For Robbins personal battle, I hope he overcomes whatever it or they may be. To me, that is just a part of life. Everyone has obstacles to overcome. But without confirmation to the ecstacy or the marital issues, I cannot not comment on nor will I worry about it at th juncture.

However, his physical limitaions DOES worry me. I don't think his knee has responded to surgery as well as the Raiders have hoped. Maybe the reason why Robbins is a question mark in EVERY media outlet's asessments. The attention looks to be going more to rookie center/guard Jake Gove and long snapper/center Adam Treu.

I guess we'll find out sometime early next month who's going to make that crucial move to becoming the starter at center.

On another note, it's just one week remaining until we find out what Woodson and the Postons do in regards to a contract agreement/disagreement.
