It ain't over 'til it's over.

 

As far as Randall goes, he's an impressive prospect and I think he's going to be a good CB in the future.  He's going to go through some growing pains, but I think overall he's going to make us happy he's a Packer.

So, he is ugly as hell?

 

Satan blaming his worst creation on Osh. Shame.

Has anybody even seen just another packer fan or is he an apparition conjured up by oshbaul ? 

I have met one other poster from this site in person (Hauser) but would love to meet just another packer fan .  He sounds interesting .

You're not missing much!!!   No just kidding.  He is kind of small in size but has a huge heart.  He really is a great guy and does wonderful things with and for his family. 

Over the next 10 minutes, Randall provided explanations and excuses for his subpar performances against the Minnesota Vikings, when wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught 10 passes for 182 yards and one touchdown, and the Detroit Lions, when Marvin Jones Jr. caught eight passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns

At times he accepted responsibility; at times he dished out blame. He told reporters technique was part of the problem; he said his coverage was mostly perfect against Detroit. He explained that failure, however large, was simply part of the game.

“That’s part of being great, and that’s part of me wanting to be great,” Randall said. “I just see a guy that’s going to bounce back because I just know myself and just kind of looking forward to the challenge this Sunday.”

When Randall wasn’t at fault, he blamed the league for favoring wide receivers: “I think that’s what the NFL wants to happen because with all the rules and stuff that they have that we can’t touch guys and I know a lot of guys don’t like getting flagged. Obviously, they let most receivers get a last little tug at the end and the receiver catches the ball and the fans start hollering, ‘Yay! Touchdown!’ But I just think it’s great for the NFL. I just think it’s great for those guys that are catching passes and that’s why corners get paid as much money as they do whenever there are great, great corners.”

He did it again when asked about his stumble on a deep touchdown pass to Jones last week: “We just both happened to get tangled up, and if it was the other way around and the receiver fell and I end up catching the ball, they probably would have threw a flag. So just for the most part I mean that’s just a play you can’t really correct nothing in the film because I was in perfect coverage. I was right there. I was in perfect coverage most of the night, even the one that he caught the one deep ball on me. I was there, and he just made the play. Sometimes guys are going to do that because that’s this league. For the most part, I feel like I played pretty well against the Lions.”

SNIP

When asked how he can improve, Randall pointed toward poor habits during preparation: “Maybe I’ve just got to focus more. Maybe I’ve just got to put in more work in the film room. Even when we’re facing guys that aren’t Pro Bowl-caliber receivers, just maybe if I take each and every guy more and more like they’re talented receivers, just like every receiver up in the league is talented. One week I have a great week against a Pro Bowl receiver and then the next week I didn’t have a great game against the Vikings or a very great game against the Lions. That just goes to show that every receiver at any given time can catch a pass on you and any receiver can make plays. We’re in a passing league, and that’s why corners get paid a lot of money.”

Can't say I'm exactly thrilled with this mixed attitude. So it's the leagues fault (in part) that he's sucked so bad the last 2 weeks?

Maybe I have to focus more?

WTF

I mean he's not wrong with any of what he said, but it does come off as excuse making. He's going through the dreaded sophomore slump so far, how players respond after going through that shows how mentally tough they are. He's a young guy, I don't think they always know when to STFU.

On the plus side, doesn't sound like confidence is an issue with him. At all.

But it does get worrisome when the excuse machine is revved up and spitting out bullsh!t. It'll be interesting to see how Perry handles his attitude moving forward. Sounds like Randall needs a reality check.

I think a lot of what he says is truthful. Especially on that Jones play. If they get tangled up & D. Randall picks off the pass, they probably throw a flag.

The league wants offense & scoring. Can't touch a WR across the middle anymore. If a WR jumps up in the air, you can't touch him or it's "defenseless receiver".

Agree with G. Digger, he just needs to STFU.

Randall will have his hands full vs. OBJ on Sunday Night. We might see another 300 yards receiving
