Joseph Randle has come a long way since last year in his strength, quickness, smarts and conditioning. He's actually been at the forefront of those producing in camp and preseason. I think Randle will likely be retained, somewhat to the dismay of those who don't cater to the idea that players oftentimes do improve. The fact that Williams has gotten better in his pass blocking doesn't necessarily mean that he'll actually be good at it. Assuming he's greatly improved, the rest of our RBs other than Randle haven't yet been proven durable. That alone may be enough to keep Randle around if his improvement doesn't count for much.
I'm with you.
Randle was drafted to step in and give DeMarco a breather.
He struggled last year with a lot of additional issues such as injury and incomplete knowledge of his blocking assignment, etc.
I've watched his re-draft video clips and he was a completely different back in those than we have seen.
I don't think you cut him.
What you do is give him carries behind this granite OL and then let's see what we have.
Randle was not drafted to pass block.
We have spent millions drafting his upfront buddies.
They need to block, open some holes an make everybody who is carrying the rock look like Tony Dorsett.
End of discussion, folks.
Worrying about Randle's pecking order on the roster is foolish.
Pray this OL lays the wood to the other team for 4 qts.
That's a tall enough order.
