Opinion: The Randle experiment is over

[ilykdrama]

Yeah, this post is ridiculous. Several times stopped behind LOS and gained positive yards. Can't say the same for the "Murray the Millionaire." Didn't have a problem with Randle at all today. Eagles knew he was a huge part of offense today and still couldn't keep him contained to big losses.

C-Mike needs to be seen from. Randle is not my favorite but I don't hate on him....most of the times he turns nothing into something. I do not see anything special from McFadden. If it is not blocked perfect for him he gets nothing. Again, bring on C-Mike.

i would like to C-Mike too but it is really hard to keep 4 RBs active.

Randle can go back to ST'S duty where he excels so it won't be that hard.

My god. Randle was good today, made most out of opportunities. Suspect line play and penalties were the issue. Good lord some of you are blind and are begging for someone to rip on. Clearly no matter what he does - Randle will be the troll's whipping boy this season.

Time to see what CMike can do and more of McFadden. I've seen enough and we need to lean on the running game bigtime!

Randle isn't awful, he is just not a lead back. He's a complimentary back only.

I thought Randle performed well today. Given what we saw today against a stout defense, I would like to see Michael take some carries from McFadden. Not that McFadden was awful. He was actually pretty decent. The point here is we need a thumper to compliment Randle as we gear up for this stretch. That thumper role will be best played by Michael vs McFadden.

Today was on the O Line. Leary was missed and the other guys played less than their usual selves.

It happens just be happy we got the W.

And for God sakes can we ease up on the definitive pronouncements after 2 games?

The Eagles were a top 10 defense against the run last year and it looks like they will be a top 10 run defensive team again.

To be honest, the Cowboys will face a lot of teams that will be good against the run this year. We cant say the run blocking is horrible when the other team's scheme on defense is stopping the tun.

The oline isn't doing it's job either.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Randle is not a lead back. Good backup but that's it

 

[darthseinfeld]

no he looked tentative, almost deer in the headlights. Philly has a stout Run defense the team did rush for 100 yards. That all pro backfield across the field didn't reach positive yardage until the end of the game.

The two biggest runs were by QB's and Randle and McFadden combined for 82 yards on 28 rushes. The running game was flat out awful and it was in both the line and HB's

My point is Randle isn't the one. Without Romo we need to manufacture wins and need a star RB. Maybe it's Cmike, maybe it isn't, but we need to at least see.

 

[TheDuke]

I saw more out of Randle today than I have previously but I'm still not sold on him as the lead back. I hope we see CMike next week.

 

[reddyuta]

it will be easier to run against atlanta,i am predicting 200 yards.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Disagree. The entire offense was out of sink today. We couldn't sustain drives and we committed far too many penalties. Randle was solid and actually made a few nice runs where there was absolutely nothing.

 

[Deep_South]

Romo and Weeden both had more yards rushing than Murray.

We'll see on that yardage. No Dez, no Romo. They'll be stacking the box

 

[TheRomoSexual]

Yeah, no. Randle was the least of our problems tonight. He was better than Murray.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Wait. Did the Op watch the same game I did?

 

[BrassCowboy]

not sure why you say that.... Randle turned several losses into positive gains.

The Oline gave him nothing, he earned every yard today.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I would personally play Michael next week, but sit McFadden and keep Randle. Randle is the superior runner and we aren't utilizing McFadden in the passing game enough to keep him active over Randle.

Michael and Randle could be a very effective duo running the ball, and while McFadden is the better pass blocker, I think either Michael or Randle would be fine
