Trent Richardson is looking like the Trent Richardson of old. And that’s bad news for the Oakland Raiders.
Richardson rushed for 18 yards on five carries Friday in the Raiders’ first preseason game. If he had any sense of vision, he would have had at least five more yards and a touchdown, which would have given him some respectable numbers.
Take a look at this run he made inside the red zone where he completely missed the hole and ran straight into a pile:

Runs like that confirm training camp reports that the Richardson signing was not working out well for the Raiders. None of this should be surprising; there’s a good reason why both the Browns and Colts gave up on T-Rich so quickly.
In the interest of fairness, at least not all of Richardson’s runs were poor:
Good cut, and run by Trent Richardson on this. Great blocking by Penn and again, Hudson. https://t.co/ycnq7a5gZY
