I'll play Devil's Advocate for a moment.
I think what htran is saying is that our lack of big plays is a concern this season.
That extends to every player on the offense.
Although Robinson is playing at a high level, he doesn't have that Curtis Martin-esque breakaway speed we were hoping for.
That's another reason we aren't breaking off big plays.
That being said, there's not much reason for disappointment in Robinson's play.
He looked a bit tentative in the preseason, but he seems to have settled that.

Its going for the whole team. I point out Robinson and Cooks because those two were the ones getting so much of the hype in the off-season that they're the next big things and they haven't showed us that yet. I just don't see the Curtis Martin in Khiry Robinson though.
But what I found interesting is this:
Khiry's Total carries: 61
0 or loss of yards: 13 carries (21.3%)
1-5 yards: 29 carries, 1 TD (47.5%; 46.7% w/o counting the TD run)
6-10 yards: 11 carries (18.0%)
10-20 yards: 6 carries, 1 TD (0.98%)
20+ yards: 2 carries (0.033%)
Ingram's Total carries: 24
0 or loss of yards: 1 carry (0.42% - 0 yards gained)
1-5 yards: 13 carries, 3 TDs (54.2%; 47.6% w/o counting the TD runs)
6-10 yards: 6 carries (25%)
10-20 yards: 3 carries (12.5%)
20+ yards: 1 carry (0.42%)
Although the sample sizes are somewhat small since its only 5 games, we can't ignore the fact that as of right now, 20% of khiry's carries are either loss of yards or 0 gained (5 carries were 0 yards gained, 8 carries were for loss; 13.1% carries for loss).
Whatever the problem with that is, we need to fix it because its not something we can keep keep doing and act as if we can get by against some of the better teams in the league. This team is a strong run blocking team, grading a positive 12.6 over the first 5 games of the season.
Interestingly enough, in games 1, 2, and 5, we had positive scores for our OL as a unit (+7, +7, and +3.4), but those 3 games were the only games that Khiry lost yards.

To me, it seems our running backs as a unit are better rather than as individuals. I agree that Ingram seems to have to most big play potential, but consistency remains an issue. And with Pierre playing as well as he is, the coaches definitely need to get the ball in the hands on all these backs. It seems to me that they are clearly our best and most consistent offensive playmakers. If we ride the hot hand and play solid defense, then this team can find success. Nothing different from what many of us though before the season began though.
