Meyer says Robinson wasn't benched, he was injured...

Thank you Lawrence, someone finally standing up to the coaches and calling them on their [BLEEP]

Quarterback [font=Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif]Trevor Lawrence said Wednesday that he made it clear to the Jaguars' coaching staff that Robinson needs to be on the field as much as possible. The second-year player is the team's best offensive player, and having him off the field for 16 and 20 consecutive plays the past two games hurt the Jags' chances to move the ball and score points.[/font]

"In my eyes, obviously, I'm the one that's out, see all the pieces moving, I see the whole picture," Lawrence said. "Bottom line is James is one of our best players and he's got to be on the field and we addressed it, and I feel like we're in a good spot and the whole team, we're good. Whatever may have happened, I honestly don't even know everything that went into it.
"I'm playing the game and stuff happens on the sideline with coaching decisions. I don't really get into that, but I know and I voiced my opinion: James is one of our best players and he's got to be in the game. I think we're all on the same page, so there's no confusion there. We're going to move forward. I know James is a hell of a player, so I want him out there."


And then Meyer says
You bench yourself," Meyer said. "If you lay the ball on the ground and you come out for a few plays, and then it's up to the position coach and whatever to put you back in whenever that's time. And that's not [just] James. That's whomever. When the ball goes on the ground, you come [out]."

And even ESPN point out

What caused confusion is the fact that backup Carlos Hyde fumbled against the Rams and was back on the field during the Jaguars' next drive, which came after Robinson missed three series because of his fumble. Robinson is clearly the better back of the two -- he has rushed for 678 yards and seven TDs and is averaging 4.9 yards per carry compared to Hyde's 251 yards, one TD and 3.5 yards per carry -- and the offense is definitely better with him on the field.
