Trent Richardson's Take on His Performance So Far

[BOTT]

That entire top 10 was a bust but that's no the point i was trying to make. The talent is there with Richardson, i see it, Luck does, the coaches do. Once he get's over the mental part of it and gets that one big run to help his confidence, hes gonna prove a lot of his doubters wrong.

I don't see it. I didn't see it at Bama, I didn't see it in Cleveland and I don't see it now. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

I wonder if this great transformation from bust to good will magically happen when Thomas & Allen come back and Center and Guard are upgraded in FA ... I am sure the timing will just be a "coincidence".

You're reaching

For what?

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

1) You have no idea of the plays and formations both guys have run. If so , please post the proof to what you contend there. Furthermore , a team can just be guessing run more often when TR is in the game. 

 

2) What Pagano might mean is that there have been some missed blocking assignments and also there could be some run blitzes. Sometimes teams can bring more defenders vs the run than can be blocked. Teams might feel a little more comfortable doing this after RW injury. Hilton , DHB and Whalen are a pretty pedestrian group. 

 

3) Why does the guy have to say he's stinky if he really feels he's not ? Don't you think the coaching staff would be pointing out all the holes he's missed if that were the case ? Or are they stupid like those like me defending TR are ? If that were the case , would he then come out and say he didn't think he was missing holes ? 

1) Just look at the formations and where the running back goes. The Titans game Pagano/Pep gave Brown the same looks as RIchardson (power formations p the gut, stretch, etc.) 

2). He doesn't have to say he's stinky, he just needs to take the portion of the flak he deserves. It's better to see players admit their faults and improve on them than just acting like nothing is wrong.

than Brown will transcend into Lesean Mccoy territory.

(then)

But no he wont

we'll see. Brown has so much potential with a good line, just like Trent Richardson does.

 

Btw thanks for the grammar correction.

I would have to disagree to some extent. I certainly don't put all the blame on Trent, there is no doubt that the line has not blocked well enough, but I have seen Richardson miss obvious running lanes. As I've said before, I find it hard to believe that running lanes are available only for Brown but not Richardson as if some mystical force is somehow shutting down holes only when Richardson lines up in the backfield. There have been running lanes(not a lot) and he has just missed them or ran the opposite way of the open holes. Also, if Richardson was this awesome "beast" that some have made him out to be, wouldn't you think that he might just be able to create something on his own? 

 

I don't claim any mystical force....

 

I think we're much, much more unpredictable when Brown is in....   he's our change-up when defenses are looking for the fastball.

 

And I think we're much, more more predictable when Trent is in....   I think defenses are looking for the fastball and we're giving him them the fastball.    We're not winning any battles with him on being unpredictable.

 

Apologize for repeating myself, but I see defenses bottling him up on our side of the line of scrimmage.   He's often in big trouble before he even get to the LOS.

 

That's my view from far, far away.....

you are welcome

And McCoy is much better than brown.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

With an all pro oline Trent will realize his Morris Peterson hybrid potential, and Donald brown will perform like McCoy due to his natural ability and speed. Why you gotta diss the brown?

[That Guy]

Have we tried giving Richardson some skittles?

[husker61]

how did there come to be another richardson thread for people to repeat the same things over and over again?

 

i thought everything richardson was supposed to go in the pinned thread?

[Blueblazes]

I don't see it. I didn't see it at Bama, I didn't see it in Cleveland and I don't see it now. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

Exactly. I want to see him become very good so badly. But I just don't see it. Here's hoping he turns things totally around and realizes his ''potential''! I'd rather him turn out to be great and me be wrong.

[BlueShoe]

He's blind apparently, its not all his fault I know, but he has to take some of the blame. I haven't seen a less explosive back in the NFL, just looks slow at the line of scrimmage. Please prove me wrong, but Im disappointed so far.

 

What we need is for Eric Dickerson to let Trent borrow his goggles.

 

Seriously though, Trent will be fine. Just give it time and he is going to break it off on a team.

[colts_100nascar17fan]

Sounds like trent and rg3 need to be best buds, niether takes the blame or partial blame on themselves.

[OLD FAN MAN]

Finally, found someone else who thinks like me.

trent is another piece of the short pass west coast offense

[dw49]

Sounds like trent and rg3 need to be best buds, niether takes the blame or partial blame on themselves.

  Maybe if RG3 keeps pooping the bed , we can swing a trade for him and have the first 3 guys in that draft.

I agree . To me , he looks a bit like a pro golfer when he doesn't trust his swing. 

[colts_100nascar17fan]

Yeah have luck play qb,trent play fb,rg3 play rb LOL

Maybe if RG3 keeps pooping the bed , we can swing a trade for him and have the first 3 guys in that draft.

Looks like he is stuck in the mud
