Out of curiosity, does anyone have a link to the video of this play? I searched YouTube and had no luck.I thought the video vindicated him just a bit. The Rams had a LB, #54, closing in on the hole and would have stopped Trent for a short or no gain. Although, I don't think Trent saw that or the apparent hole at all either way.

That screenshot is definitely cherry picked at just the right time and angle to make Trent look bad. The Rams' #86 (96?) crushed his blocker straight across Trent's face and into that cutback lane to Trent's left. You can see it starting to happen just to Trent's right in the picture. The Rams' #54 was scraping and was there to make the play in that hole if Trent had cut back anyway.
He's close now I believe. I think it is around 4 years (may be a little less).I just hope he can make the roster and hang around the league long enough to be fully vested in a pension.
Here's the play recorded off someone's TV: https://twitter.com/blackhanside/status/632556290934308864
You've just armed me with logic. Thanks.But sometimes, looks, not to mention camera angles, can be deceiving. NFL writer Cian Fahey used a different angle of the play to show that the hole Richardson passed up may not have been as wide-open as it appeared.
People are still making this mistake with the EZ angle of Richardson's run http://t.co/CY4iB80ecR Cutback isn't there pic.twitter.com/O76zzfAlrI

He had nowhere to go, blocking was just bad: pic.twitter.com/7qdhZCvMzP

If a player has multiple plays with multiple teams like the one being discussed, I think it's fair to question the player.People were so quick to judge Trent without doing their homework... They did same thing when he was with Browns and Colts...
