irish Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 not sure how you can say that without seeing his lineup it was more sarcasm and chop busting because he was celebrating the success of the deal after 1 week which we all means nothing.

If you looked at a few of my posts regarding Trent I'm a supporter of his. More so celebrating improving my team than saying "Ha! Told you Trent is nothing special" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 My bad, he's sure tearing it up now. I know, it's (real) early - but 2ish yds a freaking carry? The Colt OL isn't THAT bad and the "but there's no passing game, so they focus on him" excuse is gone. Running out of chances to say "it's still early but ...". I am a huge, HUGE Richardson nuthugger, but I can't explain it. Yes, the blocking is indeed that bad still, but nonetheless I would have expected more out of him. I'm gonna have to go research Taz's history of excuses for JStew and start practicing those, because I got nothing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 At some point the Trent nuthuggers may have to come to grips with the fact that he's ordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 At some point the Trent nuthuggers may have to come to grips with the fact that he's ordinary. Playing SF and SEA back to back is no picnic for any RB. I agree that there is a real possibility that Richardson is ordinary and CLE got the best of the deal, as I alluded to much earlier, but I think we ought to wait for a little bigger sample size before we make final judgments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Even if Richardson is ordinary, which I am by no means ready to say, where would the Colts be without him? They'd have Donald Brown at running back, and that's it. Brown is a nice change-of-pace back, he's not a feature back. Ballard is out for the year with an ACL tear and Bradshaw may be soon with his neck injury. The pick they traded may in fact be in the 20's . . . which is not exactly a lock for a Pro Bowl player. We'll see, but I saw signs of life from Richardson today and some very good pass protection, which Donald Brown cannot do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flemingd Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I saw signs of life from Richardson today and some very good pass protection, which Donald Brown cannot do. What was up with the TD?

CaptainHook Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Colts best running plays came from shotgun today. Every time they lined up to power run it, they got stuffed. Gave a pass look and ran out of it . . . I liked it . . .hell of a game today . . . the Colts would not be 4-1 without Trent though . . .

frenzal rhomb Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I just feel the play calling is disjointed and not allowing him to hit a rhythm. If he sucks next week then I'll be concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I see what you did there Well tongue in cheek aside, it was a serious question. Brown only got what 3 carries in the game? Why not Richardson there, do we have to worry about a vulture poaching him too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Brown Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) We'll see, but I saw signs of life from Richardson today and some very good pass protection, which Donald Brown cannot do. There are plenty of RBs that can pass protect and run for 1.5 yards per carry that don't cost a 1st round pick.

That's good . . . but he's averaging 3 yards per carry . . . and there aren't many of those guys who could step into the Colts offense on the street.

CaptainHook Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Indy stole him then. Do you have reading comprehension problems? I said it's still too early to say who "won" this trade. But would I rather have Trent Richardson than Bjorn Werner (the Colts first round draft pick last year)? I'll take Richardson . . .
