Who's Benching Trent Richardson After His 2 TD Game ? (1 Viewer)

[cvnpoka]

Has this guy had any runs over 15 yards lately? I can't seem to remember any.

Let me answer my own question.TRich had a 19yd run all the way back on Week 9 vs the Ravens. Also had a 15yd TD run vs. the Steelers week 12.This guy isn't Jamaal Charles or Chris Johnson. He'll grind you to death.

i think trich has the ability to make explosive long runs, moreso than most backs in the league even. im no scout though.

Ability, yes, but he's been playing broken since midseason - never been right all season but the big play potential went with the rib injury, not been running the same since. Those explosive plays are going to have to wait until 2013.

i dunno, it just seems he never gets in the open field. he is quite amazing at getting extra yards and juking defenders in tight space and running through arm tackles without even a head of steam.

Not sure but recall quite a few one yard touchdown plunges

T-Rich owner here so I'm a little biased, but I think the move here is to stick with your horse. Is there a good chance that the Broncos shut him down? Sure there is. I lost in the championship game last year though by over thinking stuff and adjusting my roster due to a tough match up. Never again. T-Rich it is.

Browns aren't using him as anything other than a battering Ram. I haven't seen him run anything but HB dives for 3 weeks. Watch some Bama film: he's not an NFL-level speedster like Charles, but he can break some long runs and has better than average speed for a power back.

Beginning of the season? Yes. Lately? No. I saw a little bit of it early on against Washington - jukes in tight spaces and running through defenders but only on the first handful of carries then after a few nothing carries Shurmur did what he always does and goes panic throw-throw-throw when he's playing from behind and Trent isn't dominating on every run.If I trusted his coach more I'd be less hesitant to start him, but there's every reason to believe this is another 10-13 touch game from Richardson so you're banking on him hitting pay dirt.

So ####### typical. Gets 29 yards for six carries early and doesn't see the field again for the rest of the half. #### u shurmur. U have no business coaching.

Pat Shurmur is a bad coach no doubt. Weeden is going to be a 29 year old that has to help richardson next year. Weeden sees a lot of single coverages due to richardson. I get the feeling that cleveland will reveal that richardson has been playing with broken ribs all these weeks.

 

[Chaka]

I benched him for Pierre Garcon. Not sure it was the best move but it felt right at the time.

raying: that my opponent benches TRich this week

My opponent in a PPR has TRich slotted as his flex, over Dez Bryant. I hope he stays with TRich.

Opponent made the change I feared and that won him the title.
