Colts Have High Praise For Trent Richardson

[jonathanlambert33]

We all know "coach speak." When coaches (or anyone associated with a team, really) offers a lot of comments or praise for a player. Sometimes, they're right, and other times they're just saying things to make their players and their team look better.

I'll leave it up to you to decide which one is true in the case of what the Colts coaches and players were saying about Trent Richardson. Chuck Pagano, the team's head coach, gave his thoughts on Richardson yesterday:


"Number one, he's getting healthy. He's getting back to 100 percent so I think some of those runs you're starting to see, the hard work, the full offseason, the comfort with the scheme, the terminology, being around the offensive guys, the guys that are lined up in front of him blocking and seeing him starting to put a foot in the ground, see a hole, burst through the line of scrimmage, all that stuff is coming. It's only going to get better too as he gets closer to 100 percent health-wise. Again he's on track, he's on track."

Pagano also talked about Richardson's health and if he's getting close to 100-percent:

"Again, I think every day that you see him out here and he's starting to get a few more reps each and every day. Like I said, I can start to see bursts and trust in that hammy that he was nursing a little bit. I'm not a doctor, I'm not a trainer. I listen to those guys. So for me to put a number on it right now, I'd be just throwing some number out there, something maybe you guys want to hear, something maybe he doesn't want to hear, I don't know. I know he's getting close."
