re: How is Trent Richardson such an awful NFL running back?

Marcell Dareus

He turned in one of the best games of his career yesterday, just as the Bills desperately needed it. Linemate Kyle Williams was off to maybe the best start of his career, and with him inactive yesterday, the brunt of Buffalo’s interior pass rush fell to Dareus. He responded with a career-high three sacks, two more tackles for loss, and two extra hits on Matthew Stafford, all while holding down the middle of a Bills defense that allowed about 3.6 yards per carry to Detroit’s running backs.

It’s hard to be better than that stat line, but Dareus really was yesterday — eating up double-teams, freeing up teammates on stunts, clogging the pocket. He and Williams have emerged as the best interior duo in the league, and they are wreaking havoc on opposing offensive lines.
