Fever,Don't buy that for a second as limiting him. Heck he was slam dunking the basketball from the foul line that week prior to the game. If Napier telling him to take it easy is the reason they better drop that nonsense right now.
see your point about dunking a basketball - below
KY gameplanned for AR's running extremely well & Napier & his staff seemed unable to make any meaningful adjustments.
FWIW
"...
Richardson confirmed this philosophy shortly after when he stepped up to the microphone
To be fair, Kentucky schemed specifically to stop Richardson from running and had multiple blitzers in his face to prevent him from running. But Napier and Richardson both admitted it was fear of Richardson getting hurt that has limited his running.“They tell me every week I have to be careful. I can’t take big hits. I can’t be Superman out there”
Early in the Kentucky game, Richardson took a low hit that might have confirmed the very fears Napier has. Richardson said it was a hit he felt (though didn’t seem to limit him from dunking from the free throw line later in the week)."
