I don't know man. Looks like Robinson is slowly getting phased out of the offense. Started back in week four with Philadelphia. 

Week Four:
Etienne and Robinson both had 8 carries each. Both struggled to really add any yardage. 

Week Five:
Etienne and Robinson both had 10 carries each. (This is where it starts, Etienne was 10 for 71 and Robinson was 10 for 27)

Week Six:
Etienne goes 10 for 86 and Robinson goes 12 for 54. (Again, like week five, Etienne is doing more with less or more with same opportunities)

Week Seven: 
Etienne gets 14 carries and Robinson doesn't get any. 

Then you add in Pederson being question about it and Robinson being questioned about it and you get some pretty interesting information. First, they say it's lower injuries, then, sounds like Robinson denies anything is going on. 

Then, Pederson says it has nothing to do with losing confidence in Robinson and just really Etienne playing better than him. Then Mia O'Brien today reveals the whole fluid in his knee situation supposedly from Saturday. 

I think it's business. I can't see them trying to tie up a good amount of cap space in the backfield when they have other issues to address going into next year. I expect Hasty to continue to get more opportunities. There's also a reason why they traded up and drafted Snoop Conner, albeit, he's clearly not worked out as the player they were hoping he could be. 

However, it's pretty apparent they're more than likely going their separate ways after this year. He's a free agent next year. I don't see them reaching an agreement if Robinson feels he can be the full time starter elsewhere. Here's another thing to consider. They have been without Agnew the last two weeks. You would think that would make them more inclined to use Robinson. They haven't.
