Cruz Tells Randle to Step It Up

[RoanokeFan]

Wait RF...Im confused......don't the fans know every aspect of what goes on both in the locker room and in the coaches/front office's heads?

A casual observer would certainly think they had stumbled on a sports think tank. But we more knowledgeable fans know it for what it is:

"The Message Boards for the Criminally Bewildered"

[Buddy333]

The difference with Barden and why they stuck with him is because he has a great work ethic. He always worked out well but it had not translated on the field fast enough for many.

This board would terrify the media, haha.

This is a rhetorical question, yes?

[Cool Papa B.]

How do you even know exactly what this kid is going through or how much you think he isnt trying hard enough. You are taking a couple of quotes from the media and over reacting big time. Chill out and let the kid mature. If TC didnt trust him he wouldnt be returning punts you get count on that.

It's not just a couple of quotes. It's the Collinsworth statement, and what Eli said yesterday. True, no one knows what was siad exactly about Randle, but there's enough there to bring some concern.

Eli didn't say anything much. Just that Randle is young and learning. Just because the kid isn't playing like a young Randy Moss doesn't mean there is any cause for concern. Eli said he expects him to make plays when called upon.

I told him over lunch.....These announcers talk to coaches and players all the time, especially in advance of the games they're calling. I can see a scenario where Collinsworth might walk up to a coach, or player, and ask why Randle isn't given more opportunities and the coach, or player, answers the question "anonymously."

he should say that then.

I see the dementia is setting in too.....lol

[RoanokeFan]

he should say that then.

But then he risks targeting his source. On this team, TC would not be happy
