Despite not delivering his best performance in Week 3, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. continues to earn high praise from the coaching staff.
“He’s everything I expected and more,” said Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. “He’s a tough runner. We couldn’t get him going much last week, but he delivered the tough yards when needed. He’s versatile, contributing in both the run and pass game, and his competitive spirit day in and day out is incredible. He’s a leader on the field, inspiring everyone with his work ethic and effort. I couldn’t be more satisfied with what I’ve seen from him.”
Robinson carried the ball 16 times for 33 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, significantly less than the 133 yards he racked up the previous week against the New York Giants.
With Austin Ekeler sidelined after suffering a concussion in the Bengals game, Robinson is expected to see a larger role. Based on Kingsbury’s comments, he seems poised to play a significant part in the team’s game plan against the Arizona Cardinals.
If Robinson can deliver a strong performance against the Cardinals, the Commanders could be well on their way to securing a third straight victory.
