My conversation with Joseph Randle didn't yield too many results but he basically stated he has a "strong feeling he's being traded...almost certain it's coming".

He's kinda stupid though, so...

He's just trying to get out of his contract.

I hope you didn't budge.
 
Does Joseph Randle have some trade value that I missed?
 
This article does not encourage me at all. It makes the McFadden decision look very ill conceived

It feels like signing Chris Johnson would have made more sense. Guy's post burn out stats are still pretty good, especially compared to Mcfadden.

Why are those pads so high up his arms? Looks stupid.

Just more exposed body to get injured.

:unsure
 
 


Wow.

And then he shoved the bone down his pants as he walked out looking the other way.
 
Interesting comment there by Randle. There were times where I do think Murray made poor reads last year, but not that many.

Ballsy of him to make a comment like this cause it can be taken in different ways, but he also isn't the brightest bulb in the pack either.

That said, I don't disagree with him. I thought Murray made poor reads when he got to the 2nd level of the defense and often looked for contact instead of just getting upfield.

It's funny because most of the posters on this message board bitched about it all season long and ragged on Murray like he wasn't really doing anything great. Now that he is gone though you'd thought we lost our lord and savior.

Yeah. He only led the league in rushing last season. Think what he could have done if he knew how to run the ball. :art

On the flip side Murray regularly seemed to get 6 yards on a run where a lot of RBs would have gotten 4. Definitely lacks home run ability but he grinds out yards pretty well. I hope the group they have toting the rock this season are able to do the same.

I don't think it's accurate to say most. I certainly never bitched about Murray last year, and I was not happy to see him go.

I think Murray has plenty of speed for the big runs.

He showed that in his early years in Dallas.

The weird thing with him is that he has good vision at the line, and average vision at the 2nd level.

Go back to the opener at NY in 2012. He has a long TD if he just sticks to the sideline, but for some strange reason he tries to cut back inside and trips.

There were a number of times that he sabotaged himself on long runs due to bad decisions or bad reads more so than any lack of speed.

I'd say it was easily the majority of posters on the game day threads. Of course those are mostly bitchfests.
