AUBURN, Ala. Brendan Gallagher Jersey . -- Auburns depleted backfield took another blow when coach Gus Malzahn dismissed top running back Jovon Robinson from the team.A source told ESPNs Brett McMurphy that Robinson was dismissed for repeatedly missing classes and meetings and for his continued inattention to detail in everything.Malzahn said he kicked Robinson, Auburns top returning rusher, off the team Wednesday before the Tigers first practice of preseason camp.He did not meet my standards or expectations of what it takes to be an Auburn Tiger football player, Malzahn said. Were going to have zero distractions on this team this year. Ive given him his release, and we wish him the best.Robinson came on strong late last season and ran for 639 yards and three touchdowns. Leading rusher Peyton Barber left early to enter the NFL draft, and No. 3 runner Roc Thomas transferred to FCS Jacksonville State. Barber went undrafted.The Tigers, who open Sept. 3 against defending ACC champion Clemson, added former Baylor signee Kam Martin this summer after he was granted a release from his scholarship.Kerryon Johnson is now the most established back on the team. He ran for 208 yards and also returned kicks last season as a freshman. Johnson missed virtually all of spring practice recovering from shoulder surgery.Were very confident in him, Malzahn said. Hes put on about 20 pounds. Hes a guy that weve recruited to be a marquee back. Hes got a great opportunity now. Hes in a good spot.Malzahn also said that Kamryn Pettway, a converted fullback, will get a shot.Receiver Marcus Davis said the team learned about Malzahns decision before practice.Jovon is a great guy, great teammate and everything, but we just focus on whats best for the team, Davis said. Its nothing I really sat down and thought about yet, but at the same time, if coach Malzahn thinks its the best thing for the team, Im pretty sure everybodys going to be on board with that.Robinson had signed with Auburn in 2012 but was ruled ineligible after a guidance counselor admitted to creating a fake transcript. He transferred to Georgia Military College and was the 2013 NJCAA national player of the year.He set junior college records for a season in rushing yards (2,387), touchdowns (34) and points scored (204).We all support Coachs decision, offensive tackle Austin Golson said. No one player is going to be able to take down our team. I believe that were going to respond well and just keep practicing. We have plenty of other options that will be able to help us out. I think were all going to be fine.Last season, Auburn opened camp with star wide receiver Dhaquille Williams suspended. He never got going during the season and was dismissed after a bar fight. Auburn, which was the preseason favorite in the Southeastern Conference, stumbled to a 7-6 season.Robinsons dismissal is perhaps the biggest story at the start of camp, along with the three-man quarterback competition among 2015 starters Jeremy Johnson and Sean White and junior college transfer John Franklin III. Johnson and White struggled much of last season.Were going to rotate each day whos going to be out there first, Malzahn said. Were going to have equal reps. We have a good plan for putting them in competitive situations every practice. We will chart everything. Were hoping we can name a guy sooner rather than later but well give everybody an equal shot.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Noah Juulsen Jersey . Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1. Mats Naslund Jersey .

Terms of the deal were not immediately available. The 26-year-old finished last season with Clevelands Triple-A affiliate in Columbus after signing with the Indians in August. Bills coach Rex Ryan gave the Buffalo Bills a day off Monday after their shutout win over the New England Patriots. Bills guard?Richie Incognito decided to spend part of that downtime tweaking Patriots coach Bill Belichick via social media.Ryan couldnt resist poking fun at Belichick after the gamee either, despite having just a 3-10 career record against Belichick prior to Sunday. Mark Streit Jersey. .The two teams meet again in less than a month, on Oct. 30 in Buffalo. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
