Allen Robinson believes he was sabotaged by head coach Matt Nagy’s offensive scheme, and he isn’t sad about him being sacked as the coach for the Bears. According to Awesemo, Allen “thinks that his down year is a product of being sabotaged out of the head coach’s” offensive scheme.
When a Bears Twitter user posted an opinion about how Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace’s negligence was on full display by the way they treated Allen Robinson, the free agent receiver commented his stark decrease in targets during the 2021 season — hinting that he was deliberately sabotaged by the coaching.
When another fan pointed out that Allen Robinson’s lack of targets could be due to the fact that he missed four games due to injury, the receiver counted by using his targets per game to show how he was schemed out last year.
Sure, maybe the contract situation with Allen Robinson led to Matt Nagy an GM Ryan Pace letting him fall out of favor in the team’s offense. But I think it’s also worth pointing out that team team had some young, emerging weapons like Darnell Mooney and tight end Cole Kmet into the offense.
Robinson will be a free agent and looking for a bounce-back year. The Bears will try again with a new coach that will hopefully be able to take Justin Fields to the next level.
It makes me nervous because this coach didn’t draft Fields, so he has no loyalty to him, so we will have to see how it goes.
During an appearance on ESPN Radio (h/t Brendan Sugrue of Bears Wire), Robinson said he didn’t speak with Nagy for five months during the 2021 offseason, which made for an uncomfortable situation this season.
“Things like that coming into the season were a little unsettling for me, especially with that being my guy since the time I stepped foot in Chicago and us having open communication and things like that,” Robinson said.
