[b]2. An injury issue.[/b] A major Jaguars topic following Sunday's game remained running back James Robinson – and specifically, his lack of participation following a first-quarter lost fumble that led to the Rams' first touchdown. Robinson, who didn't play for 16 plays following a lost fumble against the Atlanta Falcons last week, didn't play for 20 plays following Sunday's fumble against the Rams. Meyer said Robinson's reduced playing time Sunday and last week was because he remains hampered by heel/knee issues that have reduced his practice time since sustaining a heel injury in a Week 8 loss at Seattle. "He's still not 100 percent," Meyer said. "He's not practicing during the week. James is as good a guy, a tough a guy, team player as you've got, that I've ever been around. Your heart bleeds for the guy just because he's not able to do what he does well. He hasn't been that way since Seattle. He's not able to practice, but he wants to play, and he's still a very good player. You've just got to take care of the ball." Meyer said the coaching staff discussed not playing Robinson Sunday but that "everybody felt that he was the best option right now, even not 100 percent." Meyer also was asked Sunday if Robinson would have returned immediately following Sunday's fumble had he been 100 percent healthy. "Oh, sure," Meyer said, adding – as he did last week following the loss to the Falcons – that details of playing time is determined by the position coach. "I don't get too involved," Meyer said. "I don't micromanage that. I know he's been dinged up. … James is unique because he is fighting injury. If someone is not producing and you sit him down, that's a whole different conversation, but this is really injury based."

Not really sure i believe that to be honest and the fact he then says its the position coach's decision really gets me riled. The question i have is if his injury is that bad then why is he starting and why is he out there in the 4th Q when we are down 30 pts.

Urbz dropping the bolded at the end of his lengthy response is very telling as to the rest of what he said. Deferring to the position coach is a load of hooey. HEAD coach means you have authority to tell your assistants how to evaluate and determine whether a player can go or not. JRob looked fine up to and including when he got blasted by Donald.

If he's that touch-and-go, I'd be questioning my position coach why he gave the green light to start in the first place, or why he ended up back in the game later if he was re-injured earlier.

Snake oil sales at its best.

Khan better do something because Baalke seems useless.

Jags proceed to sign Carlos Hyde and draft ETN in round 1…..

Only the Jags man.

Imagine if the board was in charge, we would have Elijah Moore and one of Carter or Gainwell being fantastic complements to Robinson.

Instead of Jalen Camp we'd have darfted blank #2 though, win some lose some, you know? Big Grin

Didn’t think it could get worse but now ROBINSON speaking out. Dude never talks.

Don't blame him one bit.

I'll be sad to see him go, but I understand 1000% why he wouldn't want to languish here any longer.
