Oakland Raiders running back Trent Richardson is still gloriously sucking at football.

This isn’t exactly news but running back Trent Richardson is still sucking at football. Richardson, yes the guy the Colts traded for from the Cleveland Browns is still in the league, playing with the Oakland Raiders in the preseason.

Despite being with a new team, Richardson is still up to his usual awfulness as captured ever so eloquently by a savvy Twitter user who breaks down a play that is all sorts of embarrassing for Richardson.

As the play develops, the center cracks down to the left and the left guard pulls. Richardson follows the guard towards to outside of the right tackle to run into a wall of Rams defenders.

Meanwhile, there is a giant hole where between the center and right guard with a clear path to the end zone.

Now the Twitter narrator says look where Richardson is supposed to go, alluding to the hole, but Richardson was probably supposed to follow the guard, but that is where things like field vision and awareness come into play.

Had Richardson seen the whole he could’ve cut back and likely gotten into the outside, though the linebacker who was there before the play had shifted over to shadow Richardson making the hole look more open than it was, but Richardson would’ve likely made it to the end zone facing a 1-on-1 situation, which is better than the 3-on-1 he ran into.
