Cruz Tells Randle to Step It Up

[Shockeystays08]

What is this garbage on this thread libeling Randle? It takes time for receivers to learn an offense and become comfortable in a massively complex offense in which routes are run on intuition. We are just finished hearing all sorts of blather how it took three years for Barden and Toomer before him to become established receivers.

First, someone says not motivated. Next, he has an "attitude problem." Are you armchair coaches in the locker room establishing this information first hand?

Did Eli have an attitude problem when he stunk up the place in his first year, when he was thrust into the lineup to gain experience and showed facial expressions that some didn't like?

Start over. You have obviously missed some important FACTS.

@RVacchianoNYDN: Randle said the first he heard of his work ethic issues was Monday -- on Twitter, where he saw Cris Collinsworth's comments. #NYG

Not surprised. If it is a true statement by Cris, I wouldn't exactly expect many players to admit they have a work ethic issue. This is probably all overblown anyway.

Just from twitter: @HubbuchMVP Eli agrees that Reuben Randle needs to work harder and prepare better. Interesting coming from Manning, who rarely criticizes teammates.

Wow, maybe they are just getting on RR because of the injuries at WR, because Coughlin said he didn't have any issues with him

Hey...Eli prob sees him all the time in practice. With a promising Rookie they prob have specific plays for him as well as letting him sit in on a few reps in general. He is not getting the offense apparently and needs to get his **** together.

Well if Eli said that there is a real issue here. I mean people used to rip on Manningham all the time for messing up but I never heard of Eli calling him out.

I think that we may know now why he lasted until the last pick in the second round . . . . .

Just saw a thread that Barden won't play on Sunday. If this is true, maybe the veterans are trying to kick this kid in the *** because they know that he is going to have to contribute on Sunday.

What does Eli Manning think about Reuben Randle's work ethic? It's getting "better," the QB said. "He's young ...

... and he’s trying to figure out what it takes to compete and get mentally and physically ready for upcoming games. He has talent. He’s been working better, understanding just how we work and prepare each week. He’s been getting more reps these last few weeks so he’s doing a good job of putting everything together. He’s going to have to make some plays for us and I believe he can do that. He can help us out." #NYG I think it's safe to say that he's starting vs the Browns. Hopefully he takes this opportunity seriously.

Any word on Nicks?

Any word on Nicks?

He didn't practice today.

Any word on Nicks?

His normal practice day is Thursday so we'll have to wait and see. Since it's a home game, it will likely be a game time decision
