Trying running behind it when you are on typical running downs.

 

 

Meet the reference section:

 

When Richardson left Cleveland for Indianapolis, he traded the 12th-worst offensive line for the league's best. Based on Football Outsider's adjusted line yards, the Colts have boasted the best run-blocking unit in the league this year, and yet somehow Richardson has continued to play poorly. He's currently ranked as the 15th-worst running back (out of the 36 with 50 or more carries) in the league with a DYAR of eight and a DVOA of -6.2%.

 

Even more damning for Richardson is the fact that the Colts' other running backs have found great success running behind the team's line this year. Donald Brown only has 33 carries (he needs 17 more to qualify for Football Outsiders' rankings), but he's averaging 5.9 yards per carry. Before he went down with a neck injury, Ahmad Bradshaw was also carving up defenses on the ground. In three games, Bradshaw amassed 186 yards on 41 carries, good for 4.5 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Richardson's yards per carry average sits at a paltry 3.0.
