Randle says "Murray left a lot of meat on the bone"

Those are fighting words...... :laugh:

It's true, but Randle wins the bozo of the month award for saying it.

Staubacher · May 27, 2015

Not a PC thing to say buy honestly I always felt that way too

Bullflop · May 27, 2015

Randle would be well-advised to keep his mouth shut about such things. He's really just pushing his luck.

Anytime a backup sees fit to criticize a record-breaking performance by the starter, he's asking for trouble.

Some clueless dimwits just have no idea when it's a good time to keep their piehole shut. He's such a putz.

It's pathetically obvious that the green-eyed monster has taken a big bite out of Randle's hiney. Too bad.

I think Randle has already locked up the Lifetime Achievement award in that area

I've been saying that for a long time.

But Randle? You left the whole carcass on the bone, Mr. Fruit of the Loom.

You'll end up leaving a lot of 'meat on the bone' when you're the battering ram that is getting run into the ground. He'll learn that if he takes a Murray-esque role this year.

Find myself a bit torn here. On one hand, hes somewhat right. On the other im not sure what position he is in to be critiqing anybody.

Full quotes

Randle is confident he can be part of the solution for replacing Murray’s 1,845 rushing yards.

“He had a good year last year, and I got to sit back and watch a lot,” Randle said, “and I felt like there was a lot of meat left on the bone.”

So can Randle get the rest of that meat behind arguably the league’s best offensive line?

“I’m going to try to go out there and grind as hard as I can and see which role I end up in,” Randle said. “If they ask me to do that, I’m ready for it. And if they believe in me, I believe in myself, that’s for sure.”

“Besides my first two years here, I haven’t ever been nothing but a star,” Randle said. “And I was still a star last year because I had a star on my helmet, so I’m just going to keep being me, Joe Randle.”

Randle said he still has a lot to prove, especially off the field in gaining the trust of the organization and his teammates.

“Everything you go through in life you learn from it and I learned from it and I’ve moved past it. I’ve grown up,” Randle said. “I’ve made some young and silly mistakes, but I’m moving forward.”

It's true and im glad he said it.

Now Murray can run at all of the Cowboys defenders and try to punish our defense as well instead of just running to daylight.

JohnsKey19 · May 27, 2015

All I can do is laugh that he would come out and say this publicly on the first day of OTAs. At least wait until you've had a few successful games running the ball, Julius!!

erod · May 27, 2015

It's true to say that Murray left a lot of meat on the bone for a back like Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, Laveon Bell, and a few others.

But while Randle might have taken some of those runs to the house, there were some 8-10 yard runs that Randle couldn't have gotten that far.

DTown214 · May 27, 2015

Love it... and couldn't agree more. Demarco was great last year but so many of his 10 or 15 yard runs could've easily been 30 or 40 yard runs. He was great at being patient and reading blocks but once he got to the 2nd and 3rd waves of the defense, he immediately looked for contact and went down. Randle actually has a burst and will be able to punch in a lot of runs that Murray couldn't last year.

GroundZero1970 · May 27, 2015

Yea well Randle should have left the undies in he store. Lol

So what was Murrays excuse for poor vision when he wasn't getting 392 carries a season?

Cowboys22 · May 27, 2015

He is absolutely right but its probably something that shouldn't be said until you prove you're capable of doing better. Randle had some long runs that I remember saying Murray couldn't make. I can't remember how many times I rewound a game because Murray would cut right when nothing was there and I thought I saw daylight to the left. Almost every time I was right. I'd guess Murray left 300-400 yards easy on the field. The question is how many did he gain that most backs would not have? It probably evened out.

Murray left 8-10 tds out there. Including the back breaking fumble in GB.

Those holes were huge it wasn't Murray

Randle is right.

Based on this, I can't really tell if he actually meant it how people are taking it. Maybe -- I just can't even tell what he means.
