The uncertainty surrounding James Robinson and his playing time on the gridiron continues to be a question asked by Jaguars fans and observers alike. Particularly after the team seemingly benched Robinson during yesterday’s 37-7 loss after the running back coughed up and lost his second fumble of the season.
Robinson didn’t carry the football for 26 snaps following his fumble, leaving backup RB Carlos Hyde in to carry the load. Robinson finished the contest with eight carries for 24 yards. Hyde would out-carry him, rushing nine times for 24 yards.
Following the game, Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer was asked about Robinson’s play, and why he wasn’t on the field during key moments, the second time in two weeks he’s been asked.
