Meet Joseph Randle. You probably never heard of him because well, he's Joseph Randle.
But if you did, it likely wasn't because of anything he did on the field — he's racked up a whopping 507 career rushing yards in two seasons since being drafted in the 5th round of the 2013 Draft by the Cowboys.
Instead, you probably heard about him because he got caught trying to steal men's underwear from a department store last year.
That pedestrian production did not stop the alleged underwear bandit from taking a shot at his former teammate, DeMarco Murray.
Joseph Randle with the quote of the day saying the 1845-yard DeMarco Murray left "a lot of meat on the bone" in the running game last year

Yes, Murray, the same running back who led the NFL with 1,845 rushing yards last year. The same guy who gained more yards in the first four games last season (534) than Randle has in his entire career. Makes perfect sense.
Perhaps Russell, I mean Randall… no wait, Randle (sorry, if you were actually relevant I would get your name right), can prove the Cowboys right next year and fill in admirably for the departed Murray.
But he obviously is not as good as Murray. Don't take my word for it — take his current employer's actions at face value.
When Murray had a broken hand last year, the Cowboys thought it would be better to have him start and risk losing him for the playoffs than to rely on Randle. And even when they tried to give Murray a break and rely on Randle more, he repaid that confidence by rushing for a season high 13 times against the Indianapolis Colts for a total of….2.85 yards per carry. Well done, sir!
So yea, good luck backing up that talk Randall, I mean, Randle. Especially against the Eagles front seven.
