“How can you stand up there and you know the offense looks like this? You know all these questions are out here about you and about this offense, and you just say ‘Oh we just need to execute better, let’s ride. We need to execute better, let’s ride,'” Robinson said.

He urged Wilson to stop behaving like the situation was business as usual.“If you’re a teammate in that locker room, you’re like, ‘Dude! Be human! Please! Call somebody out, be upset about something.’ Don’t just act like this is just business as usual,” the former Seahawks fullback said.
