Alas, T-Rich, we STILL miss you!
Great read on the best fullback in FB at:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...697437158.html One of my favorite parts: "Mr. Richardson is a fullback, which is one of the NFL's truly thankless jobs—and, in many corners of the league, a lost art. He blocks for the running back, protects the quarterback in passing situations and might as well show up for work with a lunch pail. But there are moments, rare moments, when a fullback finds scraps of glory. Such was the case against the Texans, when Mr. Richardson led the way for Mr. Jones and found a safety waiting to make the tackle. So Mr. Richardson did what was necessary: "Tony just annihilated him," said Brian Schottenheimer, the Jets' offensive coordinator." |

Hell yeah. Count how many time he blocked 2 different defenders on all those plays. Holy shit. You just don't see that anymore...

Carl let him walk because he was over the hill in RB years. It is incredible the man is playing that position at that age.

You know, I wonder how that offense ranks in "Red Zone" efficiency ... in the history of the league, I mean. It would have to be right up there among the top ... at least for those two years or so. FAX |

What I saw in that video was everyone "carrying lunch boxes". It amazes me there was not one player on that team that was too good to block (even though Green should have never blocked anyone). That is something I miss, and don't see anywhere now, the workhorse attitude.

IMO that is more a T Rich highlight video instead of a Priest Holmes video. How did Carl NOT pay him that ONE ****ing million bucks? Dumb ass.

Nothing more. Damn good n coverage, and fast to the ballcarrier against the run. The problem was, and this pissed me off no end, he simply rode that ballcarrier like a rodeo bronco buster. He shoulda been a Cowboy. I want LBs that knock RBs on their ass.

He's the everyman that every man likes. Another good role player, but again, nothing more than that. If you could combine him with Edwards, then you'd have a hell of a LB.
