Yeah, probably overly critical. Doesn't sound like anything more than someone who needs some alone time - to try to wrap his head around how he got "here". I mean no one saw this coming 24 months ago.
I imagine it's hard for him to swallow, but in the end I think benching him will turn out to be the best thing for him. He may not realize it yet, but Gruden does. Robert has to get his head right. He has the physical tools, but mentally he's broken. He has no chance of regaining his mental confidence behind this O-line. Give him a rest, physically and mentally - and make him earn his way back on...sounds like a sound plan to me. And if it doesn't work out next year - move on.
