After running over Indianapolis Colts linebacker Bjoern Werner in Sunday's 51-16 win, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Denard Robinson wants to make it clear he sees himself as a physical running back and welcomes the contact. In fact, he prefers to seek it out.

Robinson ran a team-high 14 times for 75 yards and a touchdown Sunday, including a 12-yard run in which he stuck the 255-pound Werner. 

Via ESPN's Mike DiRocco:

With starting running back T.J. Yeldon uncertain for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons with a sprained left knee, Robinson may get more of opportunity to display his physical running this week. 

"I never want to be a finesse guy," Robinson said. "I don’t want to get hit. I want to take the hit to them. That’s always been my rule for me running the ball. If I run the ball I want to take the hit to them. I don’t want to get hit."
