Still on your Trent Richardson 2.0 narrative or nah?

So play calling, okay.

He's had a few good games in a row. If he continues that and scores some TDs instead of running into tackles at the goal line maybe his reputation can change. It's pretty early to declare his script flipped, but at least it's better than it was.

 Not exactly play calling, but play design in their redzone package.  Semantics, I guess. 

When they run in the red zone, they are lining up in a power set with extra linemen and/or TEs all at the line and just daring defenses to gum up the middle with extra defenders.  It's not working.  

I can only recall two runs inside the five that were not like this all year. 

Some misdirection,  stretch plays, or runs out of a spread formation - anything to spread out the defense - would help IMO.

BTW - you once said his ceiling was Trent Richardson. He's well on his way to being far more productive than Richardson was.
