Joseph Randle TD Run

They were raving about today on one of the NFL Network shows. Sterling Sharpe said among all the Murray runs, Randle's was right up there. He made a great cut at about the 5. For kind of a knucklehead (he'll mature), the kid has some talent.
 
Yes, DandyDon, you are right. He will mature and he does have some talent. I believe every knuckleheaded kid should be allowed to grow up. We have all made knuckleheaded mistakes in our youth, it is part of the bump and grind of our life's journey. If not for the mistakes of our youth, how could we ever be wise in the twilight of our life? :(

I am glad Joseph was given the second chance by his coaches, the Office, and his teammates, to prove his remorse and his worth for his team. He seems to be doing good so far. I loved the way his teammates congratulated and pumped him up after the TD, that was beautiful to see, and showed his acceptance within the brotherhood. Let's see where it takes him. Hopefully to the top, with no more tomfoolery to stunt his growth as a player or a man. But, he is still quite young.:)

and this is why you are who you are.;)
 
After that, Murray started making poor run decisions, it looked like he was trying to match Randle's moves and do something spectacular but instead he kept losing yards. I hope he quits doing that!
 
Partly Randle is really fresh when he gets chances so he looks explosive as hell. Not a knock though, I'm a huge fan of his.
 
He made the bears look silly that day. That was the Drew Henson game wasn't it? Or am I thinking of another?

Yes, that was Henson's only career start. He threw a pick-six and got yanked at halftime in a 7-7 tie. Testaverde came in and played slightly better.

Henson actually lasted longer in the game than the Bears' starter, Craig Krenzel. He got yanked in the second quarter in favor of Jonathan Quinn, who actually played worse.
 
I have to say, in my opinion Randle's overall game has improved a lot since last year.

During his rookie season I thought every aspect of his game was average to mediocre. Now he looks fast, explosive, agile, and has very good awareness when it comes to making moves (he knows when to dance vs hitting the pile). I think at times the coaches are so satisfied with what Murray's doing that they don't want to pull him from the game- and it's hard to argue with that, but I think I'd like to see Randle get some more touches at this point. He's really earned it.

Agree with this. I even think Randle stands out on special teams sometimes. Doesn't seem to be the best tackler, but he usually finds his way to the ball carrier.
