Richardson is one of those typical guys who has the "looks like Tarzan... plays like Jane" label. Off the charts freakish athleticism but not a very good football player. No instincts... bad angles...

The guy was constantly around the ball and making plays prior to his injury. How could you not see that? Stevie Wonder said it was clear as day.

Damn I think perhaps you might be a liiittle too hard on some of these guys. They don't get to the NFL by knowing jack about football man. But yeah he's far from a pro-bowler. There is a reason why Hyde is back there. But Richardson is improving; you can see it.

I don't know if that's being hard on him... I recall when we added him as a UDFA...I researched him to find out why a guy like him went undrafted. There have to be serious red flags on a guy with his immense athleticism to go undrafted. I watched some videos of him pointing out the brutal angles he took...and they were horrifically bad.

What would be the reason a guy like him wouldn't get drafted? He has all the "tools"... something must be missing...what is it? The ability to play football. Not a good player... but looks great in shorts and helmet. I love guys like Richardson...who can also play. He's half the equation.

I'm hopeful he's improved enough through study, mechanics and fundamentals... it isn't natural to him but he can learn through study.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I think he's a fine player but I simply don't trust his coverage abilities. I prioritize coverage abilities of safeties most of all, so perhaps that's why I'm not very hopeful about his chances. I also don't think Dom Capers will scheme him very well. He should make a decent back up though, which every team needs. I'd rather not see him on the field on obvious passing downs, though.

We haven't really seen the guy cover anybody in the 2 years he's been on the team so I don't really see any reason at this point to just assume he's absolutely terrible in coverage. He played 174 snaps on defense last year and gave up an 11 yard catch so that's not much to go off of. Compared to McMillian who played 190 some snaps and gave up over 200 yards. There's no reason to assume he's very good either at this point but hopefully 2 seasons with NFL coaching has done him some good.

He has 4.4 speed so if he's taking bad angles I wonder if it's because he thinks he's faster than he really is lol oh I got this ...oh snap he's booking!!! hahaha

I am just curious if uffda watched Family Night. He doesn't look like a totally different player or anything, but he put evidence out there that he has improved a lot as a football player since his playing time before his neck injury.

You can't draw too much from a practice...this past family night was not a scrimmage, it was a practice so it lessened my interest. Every single practice one guy who was hot last practice isn't and vice versa.

Will intently watch the pre season games...I enjoy them as much or more in some cases than regular season games. I'm the guy who loves the game more in the 4th quarter than I do in the first because that's when a ton of UDFA's are in there battling for their shot. Love seeing who has some ability.

Absolutely! I was alluding to the fact that he was passing the eye test so to speak. He was performing his duties. For all the praise he has receive during training camp, you have to expect he will be one of the most watched players this pre-season. Banjo has started making a push too. Who out of those two shows the most? It will be enjoyable to find out.
