TRICH traded to colts

  • He's played barely three weeks in a totally different offense with totally different players. Give it time.

  • You either see the holes or you don't. He doesn't

    No. His time has run out. He is no longer a Cleveland Brown. His clock has struck midnight. He has turned into a pumpkin.

    There is no reason for us on this board to be further subjected to any conversation about TR.

    Take whatever comments about him....including your desire to bear his children to the Colts board.

    Let it go....leastwise while you are in this forum.

    Let's find someone else for you to fall in love with that IS on this team:

    How about Garrett Gilkey. He has a little bit of a Fabio thing going for him. Doesn't he make your little heart go pitter patter?

    Great backs are evident almost immediately, he has not shown any resemblance to being anything more than an avg to below avg back

    Dude........That was pretty freakin' funny

  • McGahee's straight ahead style seems to go better with our blocking schemes and his veteran leadership and experience in the locker room has to be a big boost as opposed to Mr. "Leave me alone can't you see I'm listening to music?".

    Who do you want blocking for Weeds on blitzes the rest of the year when we pass 40-50 times every game?

    Would you trade a first today for T-Rich?

    Something to think about.

  • Browns backs still averaging 3.0 yds per carry AND we have an extra first round pick. MAJOR VICTORY for us. There is nothing to think about. If you have to think about that very long you might be impaired.

    and everyone complains about picking OL.

    any SMART football fan knows the lines on both sides of the ball are the cornerstone of a winning football franchise. if you dominate on the DL side stuff the run and put pressure on the QB most likely you'll keep the other team from scoring a lot of points.

    on the other side of the ball you could have trent fucking dilfer be a super bowl champion QB if he has time to operate and a pro bowl back that you just hired from stop n shop.

    The problem is that we have two first rounders, two second rounders, and a third rounder on our line.

    Yes, the offensive line is crucial. But you don't have five first rounders. The only positions you need to address in the first round are center and blindside tackle. The talent drop off for the other positions is small enough that you can get a solid guard in the middle rounds. Same for your other tackle.

    We don't need to address the guard position early in the draft. We need to have the same linemen start at the same position for more than two weeks in a row. The positions along the offensive line are the positions where you need the most consistency and most repetitions in order to play well.

    Sure, you can find a plug and play guard here and there, but you can't find two plug and play guards and then switch them back and forth every couple of weeks.

    You got it mixed up, CLE has one 2nd & 2 3rds (1 from PIT).

    You misread what I said, I was referring to the draft positions of the players on our offensive line.

    Joe Thomas and Alex Mack are first round picks.

    Mitchell Schwartz and John Greco are second round picks.

    Shawn Lauvao is a third round pick.

    EDIT: Actually, Greco was taken with the first pick of the third round. So we have two firsts, a second, and two third rounders on our line.

    So essentially, if every one of our first five picks on offensive line this year, they'd have the same average ADP as the line we currently have.

    He's played barely 12 weeks in a totally different offense with totally different players. Give it time.

    Then...

    He's played barely a season and a half in totally different blah blah give it up.

    He's not special. He's average.

  • I agree, T-Rich is gone, gone.

  • Had to bump it- Richardson 40 yards against the Chargers, whoo-hoo. Colt lose. It's all good folks.

  • Hey he had 4 ypc. Zomg! The second coming of Barry Sanders!

  • Hmmm ... maybe we can trade them Bobby Rainey for Matt Hasslebeck.

    Zombo

  • Remember guys the Chargers was a team a he had a nice run against last year!

  • Last nights game was a perfect example of TR's shortcomings. Watch Danny Woodhead (Woodhead, heh heh)

    hitting holes for the Chargers. No hesitation, no dancing , just hard, downhill running inside. TR is waiting for

    those "Mack truck" holes to open and stay open -- the difference between college and the NFL. In the NFL holes

    open for just a moment. If the runner doesn't hit the hole hard and fast then it's too late--he avgs 3 ypc.

  • Since this horse is still taking a beat'n...the ypc is only part of the equation, he missed a crucial block in the 4th quarter to allow Luck to get sacked, which killed a drive. Then dropped a pass in the last couple minutes to kill another drive...

  • The Colts bought their shiny new Ferrari for less than the owner paid, but still for a hefty price. Now there are noises and smells coming from under the hood and that huge oil spot in the driveway has them wondering why the owner was so quick to sell it................... If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

    Yup! They had the car fax on this busted up ferrari and still paid blue book value for him! I don't get the media's fascination with him either. They act like he's elite because he was drafted #3. They make fantasy football commercials about him like he's the next AP. My buddy picked him without asking me first. Told him it was a big mistake.

    I remember what Tim Couch said way back- difference from college to the NFL, I'd see a hole open up for our RB that I thought it was going to go for a TD, and then bam! it closed so fast 3 yard gain.
