• The thread was started after a game wherein Hyde received the ball in two plays crucial to extending a drive or scoring and he fell short on both counts - it was overreaction, but the frustration is understandable
  
• Most of us realize Hyde has taken a back seat to Robinson -  despite this staff's unforgivable squandering of Robinson for two weeks early on and again for a number of quarters sprinkled throughout the season. They just inexplicably abandon him when he's gaining 5 yds per carry 
  
• That ^ makes it even more insufferable when Meyer pulls Robinson for Hyde on a crucial down - and he's done that at least 5 times this season - probably more. 
  
• Also - Robinson should be getting 18 carries and  22 touches per game at minimum and he's not. He's our only sure fire playmaker at this point. Not giving him a proper workload is insane.
