Trent Richardson...the struggle is real.

[NYC Rebel]

some RB's with garbage balance try to do it but can't. Cedric Benson ran with a lean but because his balance was so poor he'd end up falling down when no one even hit him or tripping on his feet.


off my team dude

it was a lil arm bar that Sanders use to do with that lean that made him look so slippery. He'd absorb the contact all the while pushing you off with his outside forearm. It was a thing of beauty. Pause it at 0:52...that move is what made Sanders bounce off so many tackles. I use to just at people never getting what he was doing. I studied that dude..the best.

That's why shorter backs are always my preference. You have to go through their upper body while their legs are still behind them.

EXACTLY!!! me & my brother (Lions fan) have been screaming this from the days of Smith & Sanders. It was no mistake that they were leading the league in rushing. Great Vision, Balance (low center of gravity) like they had is what the prototype RB should be.

How have Scouts not realized this?

Trent Richardson's longest carry is 32 yards.

Peyton Manning's longest carry is 33 yards.

While Richardson has been the subject on many gibes since going to the Browns with the third pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, here's a harsher statistic: Since the NFL absorbed the AFL in 1970, 344 running backs have had at least 500 career rushing attempts, with Richardson becoming the latest to reach that milestone. Richardson's career average of 3.34 yards per carry is better than only two of those 344 players -- Michael Haddix, a former Mississippi State star who played mainly as a fullback in eight seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers, and Zack Crockett, another fullback who carried the ball 510 times in 13 seasons in the NFL. Haddix's career average was 3.01 yards per carry. Crockett's was 3.335, only slightly worse than Richardson's 3.339.

Richardson has 525 carries for 1,753 yards in 36 NFL games. For Indianapolis, he's rushed 227 times for 698 yards, an average of 3.07 yards per carry.

His numbers from tonight of 17 carries/41 yards/2.4 ypc should bring those horrible numbers even lower

What about my man Terrell Davis, he was damn near six feet and was a beast

Only ahead of two fullbacks.

To make it worse the homie Zack Crockett was a short yardage specialist and put in work on the goaline

 

[mrken12]

They gave up a 1st rounder for him.

SAS was going in on dude lowkey on 1st take yesterday. He was saying how much of a chore Richardson makes the runningback position to be. Says dude has rough and tough yards on EVERY carry and is always trying to run over dudes twice his size.
