Richardson getting unfairly ripped for missing supposed hole

When picking the topics of Monday’s edition of Pro Football Talk on NBCSN, we included a quick item on the perceived failure of Raiders running back Trent Richardson to hit a wide-open hole for what could have been an easy touchdown against the Rams in the preseason opener.

Rodney Harrison and I were ready to pounce on Richardson for not pouncing on the opportunity, until we looked at the video while preparing for the show. And while it’s a lot more fun when Rodney and I disagree with each other, we decided instead to disagree with the many who have slammed Richardson for not cutting back to his left and scoring.
