Browns featured back Trent Richardson expressed disappointment Thursday when asked about his lack of reps in the loss Sunday to Miami. Richardson had four carries in the first six plays, but just nine the rest of the game and none in a fourth quarter that began with the Browns trailing only 13-10.
"I just don't think [the Dolphins] stopped the running game," he told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I think we stopped it ourselves ... I guess coach had another game plan and it went that way. I just thought we were going to run the ball. I thought it was going to be a real good day. I just knew that if we could run the ball on any team, I feel like it's going to be a fight down to the finish and we're going to win."
Richardson and his offensive line looked out of sync after a strong start. He managed just 21 yards on nine carries after the first possession.
Offensive coordinator Norv Turner said Thursday that he hopes to get Richardson more than 20 carries Sunday in Baltimore.
