It failed because Richardson failed in the system, yet Donald Brown (not a power back but more of an elusive one), had much more success.
This is not true and it was covered at length some time ago. Yes, Richardson failed, but he came from a zone blocking scheme in college. Brown, on the other hand, came from a power blocking scheme at UConn. So, even with a subpar line, Brown was able to excel (at least excel for our crap running game).
