Breaking news: Colts trade for Trent Richardson (((merge)))

[SteelCityColt]

Just a thought. If Washington loses Sunday and RG3PO gets benched maybe we should offer up a pick and go for a clean sweep of the top 3 from 2012. He'd make a great clipboard holder I'm sure

[Truckin Sanders]

People talking about 8 man boxes for Trent Richardson, but that's not true this season,  it definitely true wasn't last season.

I take it this is from the same site that then quoted a 52.6% of carries on 8 or more in the box on his carries... To repeat the link already posted:

Some subjective stats being thrown around about this trade in a number of articles.

[Dustin]

One of Richardson’s biggest problems has been facing eight defensive players in the box too often. By defining players in the box as all defensive linemen, linebackers and safeties within eight yards of the line of scrimmage, Richardson faced eight or more men on the box on 52.6 percent of his carries. On those carries, he averaged just 3.2 yards per carry. When it was seven or fewer in the box, that was up to 3.9 yards per carry. With Andrew Luck at quarterback, teams can’t put eight in the box to stop Richardson as often as they used to.

[SteelCityColt]

In fact if Richardson was only facing a stacked box on less than 1in 5 of his carries I'd seriously question the sanity of some NFL defensive coordinators for fearing the arm of Weedon over their ground game. It makes no sense not to take away their best player on O.

[GoColts8818]

That's the problem with facts now a days there are so many of them that they often contradict each other...

Agreed

People use which ever "facts" support their views.

Thats what I came out with from Game Rewind. The yes's are stacked boxes whie the no's re not stacked......There was several instances of Corners having their eyes focused on the backfield to clary not respecting the pass

 

9 out of 31 runs there was 8 or more in the box for 29%, I will say Richardson does dance himself out of holes that have opened up his fair share times, He did not follow his blockers on a few plays  and cut back inside when he should have stayed outside, No denying he has power however but has to continue to improve his decision making
