    Trent Richardson has that unassuming way. With his bright smile, cheerful attitude and a soft Southern accent, the Cleveland Browns running back makes anything sound diplomatic.

    Richardson did everything he could Thursday not to criticize coaches for not giving him the ball more last week in a season-opening loss to Miami. But Richardson's message was clear: He wants more touches.

    Richardson carried the ball 13 times for 47 yards in the 23-10 loss. But he gained only 14 on five rushes in the second half and did not carry the ball in the fourth quarter as the Browns tried to rally through the air.

    "I just don't think they stopped the running game," he said, referring to the Dolphins. "I think we stopped it ourselves as far as we were behind and stuff like that. We've just got to keep fighting and know that no matter what, we've got to stick to our game plan. I guess Coach had another game plan and it went that way."
