Following 31-17 Washington commanders for Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, coach Dan Quinn, coach everything but confirmed that the club was considering continuing to start running Brian Robinson, who did not play in the race.
Quinn said he and Adam Peters manager met with Robinson on Sunday and told RB that they were going to keep him out of the game. Quinn then sent the message to the players that the race would not play.
“There are just a lot of moving things during this time of year. These things take place,” Quinn said through the official copy of the team. “And then I just wanted to make sure it is my responsibility to let the team know whenever I can so they do not hear any information elsewhere. So this was all more of the standard procedures for me.
These are not any kind of conversations that a coach usually has if they think a player will be on a long journey.
Rumblings in business escalated on Monday with news that Robinson would not play in the team deficit. It was unclear at that time whether the commanders could continue from Robinson, who started 13 games last season, if no business club became. How Quinn spoke on Monday night it seems like RB was certainly a cut candidate.
Quinn was asked about Robinson’s reaction to the conversation.
“Yes, I will keep it between us. News like that, it’s not always so easy, but he’s someone we respect a lot. It’s clean,” he said.
Robinson goes to the final year of his newcomer. He finished second in team manager Jayden Daniels last year with 799 meters and added eight contact surfaces.
Following the game on Monday, Quinn praised the club’s depth to run back, which further indicated why the team is convenient to continue from the starting team RB.
“Going to training camps, we really thought it was a deep room,” said Quinn. “It would be real competition. [RB] Demetric Felton and [RB] Kazm [Allen], [RB] Bill [Jacory Croskey-Merritt] And [RB] Eck [Austin Ekeler]And that’s why we knew that this was one of our strengths that went to training camps, felt we had a tight end and then again, when we run back, so we wanted to let it play and go through it. I will go back and look at the reel, but I like the energy early from what I saw from these two and on the offensive line. “
Austin Ekeler did not play on Sunday. Quinn also stated that the team knows what it has in the elder Jeremy McNichols (3 trolley, 10 meters) and wanted to see more of Chris Rodriguez Jr. And the newcomer Jacory Croesy-Merritt, known as Bill.
“Yes, I thought early, what I liked was decisive,” he said of the two young runners. “I thought, you know, certainly some of the big plays were seen. And we are still, you know, to learn a bill in some ways. Not every race for every back is completely the same. Fortunately for us, with us, with [Running Backs Coach Anthony Lynn] Here, you know, we have a real elder in a running room. That’s a big part of it. We have a good feeling for where [RB] Chris [Rodriguez] Was coming in, but we wanted to get him more contact today and Bill too. So, with Austin and Jeremy, we were, you know, to think a little less. And when we get in next week, you know, Adam and I will visit, say who we want to come and see on Saturday. “
Rodriguez led the commanders with 62 meters on six wagons on Monday night, which was fired by a 40 -yard explosion on the opening of the game, which led to Daniel’s contact.
Croesy-Merritt is the most curious player in Robinson’s story. The seventh player has impressed the coaches so far and could cut out a role by bringing more explosives into the ground. He did it on Monday night, got on the outside and drove past defenders on a 27 -meter run on the second series.
