Now off the NFI list, here's why Brian Robinson Jr. is poised to make an immediate impact for the Commanders when he gets back on the field. TakeCommand | HTTC
combined to match Gibson’s 13 carries. Both players were significantly more efficient than Gibson was, too. Williams averaged a team-high 9.6 yards per carry and McKissic averaged 5.0 yards per carry, while Gibson’s output was a team-low 3.8 yards per carry. It’s tough to defend Gibson when his teammates are outproducing him.
Washington’s uneven backfield usage indicates their staff is searching for answers. The Commanders have significantly more invested in Robinson Jr. than they do in Williams or McKissic. It indicates Robinson Jr. will receive an immediate opportunity to become their new lead running back. There isn’t much standing in his way, either.
Gibson has been in Washington’s doghouse since a preseason fumble momentarily relegated him to third-team offense and special teams duties. Gibson notably hasn’t fumbled during the 2022 campaign yet, but the Commanders are still searching for solutions to replace him. Gibson remains on a short leash nonetheless and may be permanently stapled to the bench if he dares to put the ball on the ground.
It’s also worth noting Robinson Jr. impressed throughout training camp and the preseason. In two exhibition contests, Robinson Jr. totaled 72 yards and a touchdown on 16 touches. He showcased the same juice and decisiveness that made him such an intriguing prospect coming out of Alabama . Washington immediately placed Gibson on notice when they called Robinson Jr.’s name with the No. 98 overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft. Commanders general manager Martin Hayhew drafted a running back with another top-100 pick because Gibson continues to put forth less-than-stellar performances. That sentiment remains true through four weeks. Brian Robinson Jr. will eat into Gibson’s diminishing usage as soon as he’s back on the field.
