Cogent analysis re: Robinson and Stewart.
As far as Robinson goes, it could be that they promised he'd play this year as a recruiting edge. Another possibility is that the staff felt some pressure (internally or externally) to play such a highly ranked recruit given that he was the only defensive freshman to play, and the highest rated after Kaden Smith and K.J. Costello.
As far as Stewart goes, I hear you that they may have been thinking they needed a fourth receiver, and may not have trusted JJAW would be it. The only problem is that Stewart didn't even play until after JJAW's coming-out party vs. UCLA. His first game was in the debacle against UW. Here's another theory. Given how stagnant our offense was early on, the coaches panicked against UW (or in the week after UCLA and leading up to UW) and played him, looking for some sort of spark. I dunno. But it didn't work. The other possibility, as I noted, for both Stewart and Robinson is that they killed on STs.
