What did I miss? Got any links to stories I could read about this, or is this rumor mill stuff? We don't have another Kyle Turley on our team do we?

I just answered my own question and looked some stuff up. Don't know how this slipped by me. Here are a few links:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/80704.html :

"BIO: Three-year starter at left tackle for Nebraska, receiving All-Conference honors every season. Dismissed from the Cornhusker program prior to the start of the 2004 campaign for repeated violations of team policies. Subsequently transferred to Oregon but suspended from that program before ever playing a game. Has a history of losing his temper both on and off the field. Convicted of a misdemeanor assault charge in July of 2004.

POSITIVES: Big, strong lineman who must mature as an individual before having any shot at the next level. Blocks with leverage, immediately gets his hands into opponents and effectively uses angles. Fights throughout the action, keeps his feet moving and extends, controlling opponents at the point. Solid position blocker who walls defenders from the play. Drives opponents off the ball and finishes blocks. Plays with a nasty disposition.

NEGATIVES: Lacks fluid footwork sliding out to protect the edge and possesses marginal size for the tackle position.

ANALYSIS: A player with the physical skills to be a productive starter in the NFL, Incognito must learn to control his temper to have any shot of reaching his potential. Possesses the tools to be a dominant blocker and looked like the best lineman at the combine, but will always be questioned until he displays some maturity."

"Nebraska C Richie Incognito's temper might cost him. Incognito is strong, quick and mobile, and he also could play guard. But he was suspended by Nebraska this past season and then withdrew from the school. He once was a potential Day 1 selection, but his troubles likely will push him to Day 2."


http://www.stlouisrams.com/article/55683/ an interview with Coach

"(On talking to RG Richie Incognito and CB Dwight Anderson during practice) “We want the competitiveness. We want the fire inside of you, but you can’t do that at the expense of the team. You get in a fight in the game, they’re going to kick you out and that‘s going to cost the team. It’s going to result in you missing the next game. There’s always a consequence to your actions and you have to learn from that and know how to control your emotions when it’s a critical situation, especially when you are competing. You lose your temper sometimes, but you can’t do it on the field.” "

Interesting. Looks like he has kept in yunder control since joining the Rams. Let's hope this continues.
