News: Joseph Randle's leap does not impress coaches

[CowboyStar88]

The bigger issue is that he argues back. He doesn't care to listen I mean even after all that his statement to the reporters is I still scored 6? Really dude? You have everyone from the RB coach HC coach Dline Witten all screaming at you, and your piss poor attitude is whatever I still scored 6? Sorry this guy really does have cancer written all over him. He would be a fine statement cut for guys not doing the job and back talking coaches with the me first attitude.

Yeah, the non calling a timeout with Gatchkar trying to get off the field was a mistake. Those things happen, especially when you're subbing a lot of players. The coaches aren't perfect, but they're definitely a strength of the team.

You must be Mickey Spagnola.

It was interesting that Faulk basically called out his lack of intelligence as well when he said, that you don't take that cutback that early in the game. Run the play and get the 3 yards and then come back to it later when you really need it.

I still cant be mad at him. Players are not robots. It was a stupid mistake. His instincts took over in that situation. I don't believe he knew when the play was called that he would go over the top and stretch out the ball.

I think he still has value to our team. He has some growing up to do for sure.
Coaches tell QB's not to force a ball into coverage also yet even Romo will make that mistake from time to time. Instincts take over. It took Romo years before he had the maturity to stop forcing passes.

I don't buy his instincts excuse at all. It's been said they told him this week, again, to not do that. And he still does it. Given Randle's past history, I don't think it was instincts, I think it was him just being a selfish twit who thinks he knows better than the coaches. Even after the game, he was defiant in the defense of his score. I would guess if it was instincts, he'd at least admit he made a mistake and got away with it. But he didn't. He's yapping at his coaches, he's yapping at players and then he's telling the media who cares he got the 6.

That's not instincts. That's just a guy thinking he knows better than anyone else.

 

[LandryFan]

I've got two words for Randle too but I won't post it since I don't want to get banned.

 

[starfrombirth]

Yeah because Jimmy would go 8-8 for 3 straight seasons with one of the best QB's in the national football league.

Garrett is garbage. His process will have gone on for over 5 seasons with NOTHING to show for it. He has the talent. The excuses will always be endless for the ginger.

Ok... I have to ask.. show me the talent on this team right now. Dez is out - TWill is at best a two, not a #1 receiver. Dunbar is probably out for the season and wasn't in the game in the 2nd half when we needed him. Witten is a great TE but isn't going to run away from anyone. Escobar is one of the most inconsistent TE's ever ( I had such high hopes for him ). Cole is quick - not fast and is being used probably about as good as can be expected. None of our rb's are true number 1's and no there weren't really any good rb's on the market either - not even CJohnson. And most importantly on offense, we are missing our team heartbeat and leader - Romo.

On defense - our number 1 run stuffing linebacker has been out, namely RoMac. Our prize FA pass rushing DE has been out. Our rookie phenom DE has been out. We lost starter after starter on our dline this year. We lost Crawford for a large chunk of the 2nd half last night and we lost Lee for the entire 2nd half.

Good God man! Do you not think that these things matter? We have literally been missing more than half of our starters or positions that need #1 starters... Wow! Good grief!

Parcells benched Bledsoe for Romo because of the same type of thing. It will be interesting to see how JG handles this.

Randle should have been on a short leash due to his incident last year yet he blatantly ignores his coaches and thinks he did nothing wrong.

It's obvious he has no respect for JG.

 

[texbumthelife]

He made a mistake that apparently he's been told before to stop.

I think Garrett is a mediocre coach so I am not in the "in Garrett we trust" crowd. But he was dead on right to get into Randle there. If a player ignores what you've instructed him to do, he's useless. He made a boneheaded play and apparently doesn't give a crap that it was a boneheaded play that he just got lucky on.

He's not even that good a TB to be honest where we should be concerned he might be benched. LOL. He's mediocre.

Oh I totally agree. I said in the game thread I liked seeing that from Garrett. We don't see it enough, in my opinion. I just think with everything thaT has gone wrong the last two games, Randle going over the top for 6 is the least of our issues.

I wonder how many less touchdowns Emmitt would have had with his goal line dives. I'm sure the coaching staff has good reason to not want players going over the top, but Randle got six points when he would have otherwise lost yards.

He doesn't get a pass, but at least he's leaving it all on the field, unlike Weeden.

I still don't see the big deal in reaching for the goalline, in general.

However, I do see why the coaches were upset since they told him not to do that.

 

[texbumthelife]

"Kid" is an NFL running back trying to replace the league's leading rusher on a team with championship aspirations. And "kid" was told not to do that very thing just one week before. "Kid" is a moron who has proven himself to not be up to the task.



At least the others' mistakes weren't of the bush league variety. And they weren't indignant after the made theirs either.

The 12 men on the field and no timeout on the Gachkar play were very bush league.

I agree with him being non-repentant. That's unacceptable.

 

[CowboyChris]

I dont think i've ever seen a player get benched for scoring a TD. only JG.

If that's all you saw, you need your eyes checked.

It wasn't the reach. It was the dive. Garrett doesn't want guys going over the top for whatever reason.

 

[starfrombirth]

It's the reaching with 1 hand that is the problem. He just swings the ball anywhere and leaves it out there to be knocked out. Defenses now are taught to watch for that. They weren't as much during Emmitt's time.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Hence my issue with this player. Just like when he called out Dez after he was stealing. This guy has a bad attitude period

Well i wasnt too impressed by Garrett not calling timeouts ( 12 men on the field and the OT TD) when the team needed it despite it being his only job since he doesnt call plays anymore.

It was more than that. I bet if Randle went to the sideline, apologized to Garrett for his stupidity and disregarding the coaching staff, he'd have been fine.

But when he came to the sideline and was defiant in the face of making a mistake, that rightfully gets you a spot on the bench.

It was first and goal. The big deal is that you may lose the ball.
You don't do that on first down. You can do it on fourth down.
