Allen Robinson Reveals Why Rams Failed In 2022

How did everything go wrong for wide receiver Allen Robinson and the 2022 Los Angeles Rams' that carried expectations of a Super Bowl repeat?

The Los Angeles Rams 2023 season didn’t go according to plan for anyone, that included the Super Bowl Champions’ free agent acquisition, Allen Robinson.

Following Odell Beckham Jr.’s torn ACL during the Rams’ 2022 Super Bowl victory, the team signed Robinson to serve as the wide receiver two behind Offensive Player of the Year Cooper Kupp. Unfortunately, Robinson didn’t build the strong rapport with quarterback Matthew Stafford that Beckham had due to a lingering elbow issue and his own injury woes.

During a recent conversation on the Rich Eisen Show, Robinson spoke about the impact of the team’s injuries.

“I thought personally, I had one of the best training camps of my career. But unfortunately, through a lot of that, Matthew wasn’t 100% healthy. He was still coming off an injury he had from their Super Bowl year," Robinson said. "O-line-wise, we were kind of banged up... I was kind of nursing a foot. Cooper was banged up."

"We never actually could hit a groove and hit a stride that we wanted to hit... I just feel like everything was kind of thrown off a little bit by so many people in and out of the lineup.”

Consequently, the team’s lack of momentum would see them plummet from winning the Super Bowl in 2022 to tying for the fifth-worst record in the league, finishing the season 5-12.

This obviously came much to the surprise of Rams fans, who entered the season with expectations to contend for a consecutive championship.

Robinson will begin 2023 on a new roster after L.A. traded him to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fans of Robinson and the Rams are hopeful that 2022 was a fluke year and that this upcoming season will find both parties reclaiming the success of their past.
