Reuben needs a wristlet.

Marty in Albany : 8/29/2014 10:07 am
Maybe that would help him figure out where to run.

I'm guessing that TC thinks of a wristlet as a crutch and is against them in general.

Anyway...here's the tune that keeps running through my mind

"Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinkin'
On the gridiron you've been stinkin'
Or perhaps......

it's our QB that needs one. Funny how it's just our receivers that are not running the proper routes. And not just this year. Just saying.

As far as I can tell, he's the one having this happen constantly. I don't see too many Cruz miscommunications.
Apparently, TC is very frustrated with Randle

His comment  
bronxct1 : 8/29/2014 10:40 am : link
His comment after the game made sense. It looked like he ran the correct route but the depth/timing was off. Eli thought he'd be a little further up field.

Unfortunately a wrist band isn't going to change not running the route properly.
Do they still

How often did you see Steve Smith run the wrong route? What about Cruz? Nicks didn't have numerous issues with it, even in his lazy year in 2013.

Several weeks ago he had a route where he cut off instead of shooting forward from a pass by Nassib.

Must be Eli's fault.

I wonder if we are the only team

Bleedin Blue : 8/29/2014 10:59 am : link
or a seeing eye dog! It was reported on ESPN prior to the Jet game that Randle was still having difficulty with the playbook. As soon as ODB returns and gets himself in sync Randle will probably drop on the depth chart.

Reminds me of Stephen Hill of the Jets.

Except Rueben came out of LSU and was supposedly "pro ready" and Hill came out of Georgia Tech who ran a triple option.
what the fuck is a wristlet?  
B in ALB : 8/29/2014 11:11 am : link
Sounds like something Dion Lewis would wear while he set off fire extinguishers at the Albany Embassy Suites. You mean wristband?

Either way, it's not going to help Randle run better routes.

Ha BB was just thinking that

Have the nav shouting:

"Turn 90deg right in 10 yds...look back...catch ball"

"Recalculating....." <soon after RR cuts left>
Siri for WR

Hilarious! Can we get a mic in his helmet so the CB does not hear the commands?

over the course of the last decade, there are 2 WRs that have consistently been on different pages than Eli. One is Manningham (his first go round here) and the other is Randle. I am very confident that the problems lie squarely with Randle and not Eli. He has not had a ton of miscues with over a dozen other WRs and he is known for his preparation.
Randle  
Arcanum : 8/29/2014 11:26 am : link
Needs, to be given a set route. A route, that he doesn't have to, think so much. Because right now, he just don't get it.

Love it
Couldn't hurt.

We've got a case of a bad teacher or a bad student. Maybe both. It's bloody ridiculous.
Randle has been screwing up in practice and in pre-season  
Riggies : 8/29/2014 12:58 pm : link
games with Nassib and Painter too.

It's not the QB. He's just brain dead.
Is this a Possible reason  
Big Blue '56 : 8/29/2014 1:04 pm : link
why RR lasted to the end of round 2 or are there other reasons?
An excellent idea  
old man : 8/29/2014 1:29 pm : link
One for each wrist, and very detailed so he doesnt forget.
1 band for 2nd downs, and 1 for 3rd downs.
On first downs send him long, I think he can handle that w/o a wristlet.
