Pete Prisco of cbs.com said he looked at the last Colts game a few times and said he doesn't see anything special about Richardson, I totally agree. He wont do anything against that Seattle defense, to me he looks like just an ordinary back, I think we got totally suckered into giving up our number 1 draft pick for this guy. All you guys that will probably cut me down about this, one thing you can't deny is his 3.5 ypc last year in Cleveland, and from what I've seen of him  with the Colts so far, I seriously doubt his ypc will ever be better than that.

But hes the only back in the league that defenses stack the box against. And and He's still learning the Playbook ;)

He hasn't looked great to this point and I will totally agree with you on that. But I will give him a little be longer to adjust.. He did learn a new offense at the beginning of the season in Cle, now is having to learn another in Ind

Do you waver back and forth like your hero Pete Prisco ? Here's something I found from last year.

 

"Last Sunday against San DiegoBrowns running back Trent Richardson looked like the guy the Browns expected when they drafted him third overall in the 2012 draft. He ran over and around tacklers."

"His 26-yard touchdown run was an impressive display of making tacklers miss, and turning what should have been a short gain into a touchdown run."

Here's what at least one of his contemporaries thinks of what you and he are saying....

Interestingly, for all the dissing of Richardson's runs and poor average, I watched a POWERFUL back driving for 2 & 3 yard gains where most Colts backs of yesteryear were being stymied for a loss or zero gain.

I really don't think the naysayers are watching with their eyes open and seeing just how truly TOUGH those yards were to gain.

Just my 2 cents.

Go Colts!

Hello COLTS FANS, I am new to the forums but been a die hard colt fan since 2004 (I'm only 20). But any who back on topic. 18 carries 74 yards 1 rush td 2 catches 16 yards

Welcome to the forums. Enjoy your stay. 

 

I know that Richardson is due a break-out game. When I hear some of the negativity about him here, it makes me wonder.....have any of you seen his tape from CLE? Dude is a stud runner. He'll have huge gains and huge games, only a matter of time. 

 

I'm going to take a guess that he breaks 100 tomorrow. Brown will chip in another 60+.

Thank You. And yea i agree, hopefully his breakout game is tomorrow...that'll be a huge statement to the fan base and everyone around the league that doubts his talent.

You took the words right outta' my mouth.

Remember when the Colt's Sweep was synonymous with 2 yard loss? Heh.

He'll average a underwhelming 3 yards per carry like he has his whole career.

Meanwhile, Donald will continue his Adrian Peterson impression

Lol, another Trent hater? Funny how his ypc keeps getting lower and lower from the haters. If Brown was so good why would we bring in not only Bradshaw but then trade a 1st for Trent after Ballard went down? Oh yeah that's right, cause he hasn't done squat since we drafted him.

I'm a fan of Donald Brown. But don't EVER disrespect Adrian Peterson like that. Donald Brown is no where near Adrian Peterson

Hilton has been hurt all year...but playing through it.

One thing though...they need to get him the heck away from the KRs and PRs.

Get a grip.

Trent has done nothing here or in Cleveland to warrant the love.

And the Brown comment was a joke on my part. Apologies that wasn't clear.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
