News: Joseph Randle's leap does not impress coaches

[WoodysGirl]

Joseph Randle raised the ire of the entire coaching staff with his 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter by jumping over the top, exposing the ball. The play was initially ruled a fumble until a replay review gave Randle the touchdown.

It didn’t make the coaches feel any better. Offensive line coach Frank Pollack was the first to meet Randle before he got to the sideline. Running backs coach Gary Brown kicked the bench and had to be calmed down by Lance Dunbar and Darren McFadden.

Even after the call was overturned, head coach Jason Garrett appeared to have strong words for Randle.

In the Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Randle had a 1-yard touchdown dive over the top in the second quarter but was told by the coaches to stop leaping. That he would do it again a week later had the coaches apoplectic.

It didn't impress me either.

And then when Garrett chewed him out, he told Garrett "Yeah, but I got ******* six, though."

Yet, they will trot Randle back out there next week.

I didn't like it either but it was the least of our problems. How about 12 men on the field costing us 3 points?

It seemed to not impress some of his teammates too. Lawrence didn't look too pleased and said something that Randle fired back at him. And I saw someone tweeted during the game that Witten had something to say to Randle harshly on the sideline as well.

What makes it even worse is if the coaching staff told him just days ago to not do that and he did it anyway? What a ******* bum.

That was the worst part of it. The guy still didn't get it.

I think they're about done talking to him.

 

[dbonham]

Sounds like a good enough reason to demote him from the short yard back spot he never should have had

 

[Aven8]

Screw that bum! I hated it last week, and hated it even more this week! He looked like he was arguing with JG as well. Dumb player

Dude weighs a buck twenty-five and he wants to leap INTO a pile cause he can't get over it.

Brilliant.

They guy has talent but there is a long line of guys who are out of the league with equal or better talent for not "getting it".

Wake up kid!

Ok, I was one that thought Randle could handle it (lead #1 RB position) for 20 + carries a game and I'm changing my opinion on that. He's a good back up but they do not have a good stable of RB's period. Not to say that the Oline is making it any easier and with our present personnel but it would take an Emmit Smith type to make this ground game look appealing.

Surprised he can do the math............Dudes a moron.

I'm not so sure of that.

Is that what he said? I'd seen on twitter there was some words exchanged.

I think the coaches got their point across.

Randle did not have another carry in the first half and only four the rest of the game.

Wake up kid!

I'm looking at Ball and Richardson this week.

I know it's not popular and that they're 'busts', but it's not like this guy isn't. At least both of them will probably do what they're told.

 

[Idgit]

I'm not so sure of that.

Sit him. Sit him the rest of the year if Michael can perform.

I don't think they're done getting their point across. I do know they shouldn't be.

 

[Stash]

Sit him. Sit him the rest of the year if Michael can perform.

Agreed.

And I'm kicking the tires on other options this week. If for no other reason than go send a message that this garbage will not be tolerated.
