Hopefully he stays this time...

 

edit: Not sure if this is worth it's own thread, but nothing else is going on.

Either the title is wrong or the press release is for a different player.

I asked Darren Cameron about this. He said it's a system glitch. The Bombers signed Randle.

Small in stature but a pretty powerful frame, hopefully he's more Avon Cobourne and less Bloi-Dei-Dorzon ...

Welcome back randle! Did he stick when we went down south last year? Curious as I thought he was too small.. Legit threat to push cotton?

Sweet.. I always thought he would make a great CFL back... should provide great competition for Cotton

Still like the Marshall signing more.

I saw one of the preseason games where he got the majority of reps for the Vikings and he looked quite good.  He found the holes and was making consistent gains.  5 to 7 yards on most carries.  Being smallish likely did him no favours in landing a roster spot.  Don't know if he does returns, but the smaller guys have to offer some added value or be truly exceptional like Sproles to keep a roster spot in the NFL.

As good as some of these players are as running backs, if they can catch, that makes them so much more valuable. If they can block, run and catch, they are gold.
