Big Turk Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 2 hours ago, DisplacedBillsFan said: Just curious if anyone else would be interested in Trent Richardson as a backup RB option, perhaps next year if we do not grab a young guy in the draft or as an UDFA. NFL numbers were never great as a pure rusher, but he adds something as a receiver and could be a good change of pace back. He's played well in the CFL recently, currently listed at 5'9 and 225 pounds (5lbs below his listed NFL playing weight) he has 48 rushes for 259 yards (5.4 avg.) and a couple of touchdowns. His best game came on 10/27 when he carried the ball 20 times for 127 yards. His career yards per carry in the NFL was 3.3. But, he definitely caught the ball well. Would you guess he averaged 8.1 yards per reception during his career? I would not have, but he did. And, it wasn't on a handful of exceptions. He caught 51 passes as a rookie, 35 between the Browns and Colts in 2013, and another 27 in 2014 in a limited role. I know the reports say he was slow to hit the hole, Jim Brown said he was nothing special, and I remember reporters saying nothing he did looked easy for him. However, I would definitely take a look, especially if we get close to next year with a back up RB situation anything like it has been this year. You cannot be serious. This has to be a joke right?

3rdand12 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 let him reign over the CFL. no. as to what back to bring in next season? Depends on what kind of Offense they intend to run. Hopefully that will be well defined before the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Richardson is a bust and a domestic abuser pass, I would rather give a roster spot to a UDFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Agreed on Cadet comment. If Dennison would get his head out of his butt and again do the power running line, we'll see improvement in our running game. id love to see next two weeks just wearing out the Colts and Dolphins. i know we don't belong in the playoffs, but. Would love to win 3 of the next 4 and try and sneak into playoffs. First round we'd probably get Titans or whoever wins West. We need Baltimore to lose two games. all three wins I'm referring to our AFC teams so good in terms of tie breakers. We have zero chance with the Cheats in NE.

He was horrible. We should have never let go Gillespie, but we'll pick up a RB in the draft with McCoy turning 30 even though heirs still awesome. Not his fault this year. Dennison' O Line scheme does not fit this team. They should have never changed the power run from last two years. Its crazy to think that Gillislee is averaging 3.6 yards per carry while Tolbert is 3.8... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
