that was good

[oldunclemark]

that was good

Okay..dude.......I know he broke nothing last night..

but he's reliable with the ball...and a threat.

I don't think Richardson is ready for a division title run ..he's tentative

..Donald is not all-pro but he does everything we ask.

Got a good history against Houston, too

From Pro Football Focus... "Richardson forced five missed tackles, and gained 25 of his 37 yards after contact. That means that on 14 carries his blocking generated him just 12 yards before he was hit. The same ran true for Brown, who gained 12 of his 23 yards after contact. Richardson may be killing some fantasy teams, but the fault lies not at his door, at least not entirely."

I really really really hope Trent breaks out of this "slump" he's in and makes everyone look stupid.  I'm still a believer.

He forced 5 missed tackles...??

That's virtually impossible metric to truly determine...extremely subjective

..and yards after contact for Brown is a much different variable for Brown. a speed back than it can be for TRich, a collison back.

Don't get caught up in arbitrary stats for either.

Yard per carry.... yards per catch...everything else is clouds

Its a production-based league..you have to gain yards...per touch

[oldunclemark]

TRich is a guy folks fell in love with in college

.. he obviously hasnt been that guy since they started paying him

..but its only his second year...he's got time on his side

..funny how a thread about my man Donald Brown turns into a TRich wish list
