Opinion: The Randle experiment is over

[kramskoi]

randle wasn't the problem today. Did anyone see murray? Can't run without proper blocking. Eagles Defense is good vs the run.

Benny Logan...I say again...Benny Logan. Last year was tough sledding against the Philly d-line as well.

I will say now that Romo may be on shelf for extended time maybe C-Mike may be worth a look warts and all. I am not a doctor but I have had a broken collar bone, is it out of the question that Romo could be playing again by the bye.

 

[Brooksey]

what are talking about,randle was outstanding today.the blocking abysmal to say the least and he still made something out of nothing.

No he wasn't he was average, very average.

 

[KJJ]

Randle had 18 carries and averaged 2.7 a carry. I argued during the offseason that if he didn't pop some lengthy runs through big holes he only averaged around 3.0 a carry. His YPC was jacked up due to several long runs. It's the tough yards in tight spaces between the tackles that concerned me with him. Now we're seeing why.

 

[jrumann59]

Romo and Weeden both had more yards rushing than Murray.

Hell I had more yards getting up off the couch today than murray.

DOGGIE BAG RANDLE.......

 

[JGalt]

Just saw LaDanian Thomlinson say he thinks Randle could be very productive if given more touches.

 

[Brooksey]

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

Dude, stop homering out. He's a change of pace back at his best. He's an average starter being kind.

Randle In my opinion is a COP runner. Not a lead back

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Using this logic, the Eagles should waive Murray and demand their money back.
Randle made some nice runs out of nothing today, which was my main concern with replacing Murray.
That said, I would like to see more of McFadden he looks more polished

 

[Vintage]

I lost track the number of times I saw Randle turn a loss or at best, no gain into a few positive yards.

Then again, I was watching the Dallas/Philly game .

 

[jrumann59]

No it couldn't be the defense. Couldn't be a lot of factors in todays game. Randle was solid better than the All-World Murray across the the field that couldn't get away from one defender behind the LOS. Is Randle going to be an all-pro back most likely not but he is a serviceable starter.

 

[RunDMC]

People are still whining about Randle? Seriously?

There were pretty much no run lanes until the Eagles wore down in the fourth quarter. Randle got as much as there was. Broke a number of tackles. Got to the edge. Got as much meat as there was on the bone.

 

[Craig]

***? I was leaning towards dmc or michael before this game. Run with randle please.

 

[John813]

Honestly, I would rather see Michael take away carries from DMC.

 

[ilykdrama]

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.

Who's "THE ONE?" Dude was targeted all game and moved the ball. This game was ugly because of penalties. Not a Romo injury, not NO DEZ, not Randle being able to churn for extra yards.

Randle In my opinion is a COP runner. Not a lead back

That was the opinion of most of us prior to the season but some are dreamers here.

Not good enough apparently. Strictly change of pace back material! Guess we should have just stuck with Murray, since he obviously doesn't need a good o-line to succeed, and is able to consistently make plays to turn negative yardage into 4+ yard gains. Oh wait.

 

[Bullet22]

When DMC was in , the offense was doing a little better....They ran the ball mostly between the tackles, but flags got in the way of that also....

 

[Tobal]

Randle was very solid, ran hard no negative plays and made something out of nothing several times. How was our running game against the Eagles last year?
