I think as our offense gets more balanced and our passing game is consistent Richardson will have plenty of big plays.
He isn't AP, he's not gonna be AP. I think AP is one of the best running backs of all time, and I'm fine with Richardson just being one of the best in the league which I'm very confident he will be. We all know he is a capable running back.

I think there are a few reasons why Trent isn't mesmerizing just yet as a running back.
Part of it involves the play calling. All they do is run him between the tackles. This wouldn't be terrible if we had guards that were worth a damn. We have a very good line, but only three pieces (LT, C, and RT) are playing lights out. To run up the middle the guards and center have to make bigger players.
Another part of it is that our passing game isn't respected yet. Yea, we have some big passing plays and our guys are getting better, but teams are still stacking the box. Trent doesn't have elite Jamaal Charles speed. He's more of a guy that will break tackles and, if he's in the open field, he can play like a speedster and make you miss. Stacking the box isn't helping him.
He's been playing with the rib injury. Obviously it isn't that big of a deal because he is playing, but I think it does affect how he's playing a little bit. At least at the moment it is.
He dances a lot. I think this will get better next year when he's had a year under his belt. Right now's hes holding back hoping for an opening. If he hits the hole,then I think he has more productive games.
All of this being said, he's still had a productive year. He'll get over 1,000 yards and he's got 9 TDs, which is pretty damn good for a rookie. Hillis had 1,177 yards and 11 TDs in his one year in Cleveland. Richardson will probably come close to that this year. Regardless of how he plays the rest of the season and how he's played this season, I think we can all agree that guy will probably end up being pretty damn good.

Has he had a big homerun play yet no, he did have two great play in the Cincy game, but that SOB will take a 1 yard gain to a 5 yard gain bye moving the pile....
-
But he has had some elite TD runs. One, for fifteen yards.
There's two problems -
1. Running Richardson into the line on first down again and again and again and...
stop it, Shurmur.
2. Weeden's inconsistency. Their best bet is to sell out to stop the run until
Weeden proves (and the wr's, but they have been catching the ball and kicking ass !).
3. Wet field, I didn't see Charles going for good yards, except for the first play of the game.
He got beat up most of the time after that.
No worries. They are keying on Richardson, what else is there to expect?

exactly. He doesn't have the speed of AP, Martin, or Wilson but he's still pretty agile and stronger than all of them. I still don't get it when people compare him to AP just because they were both drafted high. AP is a once in a generation type of player. I'm not saying TR won't be, but let's be happy with a decent running game for once.

So knowing what you know now would you still take Richardson at 3 where we did, or would you take Martin in the late 1st,Wilson in the late 1st or Alfred Morris anywhere at all because i believe the Redskins got him in the 6th round and he could be the steal of the whole draft...
These are the other Rookie Running backs this year and they all are looking pretty well...You could argue that 2 of them look better than T-Rich
Alfred Morris Car-253 YDS-1,228 TDs-7 Avg-4.9
Doug Martin Car-264 YDS-1,234 TDs-10 Avg-4.7
Trent Richardson Car-247 YDS-869 TDs-9 Avg-3.5
Doug Wilson Car-41 YDs-211 TDs-3 Avg-5.1

Alfred Morris is the product of a zone blocking scheme. The same reason undrafted Arian Foster is the stud of the league.

Why cant/dont we do this then if it is so successful?

I agree with you. I think we should get someone that would implement this.

I aint worried at all, T.Rich is nice as hell and complements the complete offense, he doesn't need to be the only piece.

It would take a couple seasons to fully implement it with the line. Look at Oakland this season, Dennis Allen switched from a power scheme to a zone scheme and DMC is averaging 2 YPC.
Richardson is a better fit for the power scheme. Zone is more geared toward one cut runners.
Also, outside of Thomas and maybe Mack, I don't see our linemen being a good fit for the zone scheme. Zone schemes tend to favor smaller, more agile linemen (don't tell that to Phil Loadholt).
I love zone blocking, but it doesn't fit with our personnel.

I am not worried.
He isn't a "Big" play guy.
Think Steven Jackson and not Adrian Petersen. Trent, like Jackson is going to need his 25 carries to show the numbers and receive the love and appreciation.

Adrian Peterson isn't a big play guy? Do you watch much football?
(Peterson does have the breakaway speed FYI, in a major way) -

Because it's not successful with every team or every tailback. Darren McFadden is a prime example of how Zone blocking doesn't work for everyone.

Richardson will go as the offense goes,Emmitt Smith only had 930 yards and 3.9 ypc his rookie season.
There's two cliche compliments they give running backs, one is "he hits the hole fast" and the other is " he is patient waiting for the holes to develop" - and they contradict one another somewhat.
Richardson seems a little too patient at times but I think he is just waiting for a lane to open that never does.
I disagree that Richarson wouldn't flourish in a heavy zone system, he's patient back there waiting for holes but a lot of times they don't develop.
I'd love to see them run the stretch for Richardson so he can find the hole and get into the second level, we all know what he can do there.

Because we have the west coast offense
