I’ve been watching him on most defensive plays, and he is just terrible.  Playing very timid.  At this point he is a liability out there.

It looked to me like he's avoiding contact, like literally stepping out of the way.

All of Richardson's big plays come from his legs.  Yet to see him make a big play with his arm.  His one TD pass was a short screen to Pittman who did most of the work to get into the end zone.  Hopefully, we see more big plays passing from him soon.   As I type this he hits Downs down the field.  That is a start.

He just rifled a 30 yarder to Downs...

is it him or the receivers, or both?  He wasn’t afraid to hit downs, but downs can get open.  The others seem like they can’t.

I rarely post in there but my first half thoughts are the following:

 

1.  The Colts are really missing Buckner on defense, he’s only really playing third and fourth down.

 

2.  This is the most Richardson has not looked NFL ready and yeah I know that won’t be popular.

He’s playing tentative. I think in large part to his concussion last game and probably being told he needs to be more careful. 
 

Careful first, making plays second. What it looks like to me.

If he scores on this drive I will disagree.

20 million a year to be a paper weight ....    speed and franklin are both playing better at a quarter of his salary .   never sign non premium positions to record breaking deals

He's also coming off injury. How much he's paid is irrelevant. Doesn't make you heal and get back to speed any faster.

Too early to tell but probably a little of both.  Pierce can't catch.  Pittman can make a big play down field if given the opportunity.  Downs gets open as you say.  Isaiah McKensie is not consistent in my opinion...drops too many.

    • I thought the Celtics would take game 4. They didn't play up to their usual standards. The Mavericks could make this interesting with another win or two. 
    • AR has similar if not superior physical traits of AL and I just saw something on his ability to recall is similar to PM.  
    • Ballard does have thick skin.  You just choose to not to see it that way.      Ballard is the face and voice of the franchise.  Irsay’s health does not make him an effective public face of the franchise.  Frank was OK, Steichen less so.   So Ballard does the lion share of teams PR.    And Ballard has always said he’d rather the fans be angry than be apathetic.  Shows they care.  Of course, you know this but choose not to acknowledge it because it undercuts your distorted view of CB.   I don’t know what CBs relationship is with Kevin Bowen who I like.   So let’s say it’s complicated.   But on balance I think Ballard has a good relationship with the local media.  I’d be surprised if he didn’t.  He is loved by national media.  He’s got a personality and a sense of humor.  I’m sorry you don’t care for it.    Of course you have yet to acknowledge that you and Moose literally said that Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy.   For a man in your profession, THAT is a whopper.  Why you thought that is a mystery?   By the way, hope you notice that at least twice I’ve now said you’re smarter than you show.  There’s a compliment in there somewhere if you let yourself see it.    But I think you’ve painted yourself into a corner.  You come across as someone who’d rather be right about Ballard being bad even if it means the Colts do poorly than be wrong and have the Colts do well.    The reason Irsay hasn’t fired Ballard for the teams record is because Irsay approved of what CB was doing in real time.   Believe what you want but Irsay has done the GM job himself so he knows how it goes.  And he has chosen to keep Ballard.  Unless you don’t like Irsay too, you might want to consider that.  Life is more fun being optimistic than negative.     Sorry this went so long.
