Just how good is this guy?

 

Mike O'Shea called him "spectacular" the other day in his media availability. I know he pumps everyone's tires, but spectacular is a rare description for any player.

 

Then, reading Gary Lawless' article on Kyle Walters this morning, here is what Walters said about Randle:

 

Chris Randle, if you were to ask me, is the one guy, other than Drew Willy, that is separate from everybody else we brought in, it's Chris Randle. From a leadership and work ethic standpoint he's been great. And he's a helluva football player.

 

He's been a force on special teams AND on defense so far. I'd go as far as to say he's been the best corner in the CFL this year. 4 tackles, 2 pass knockdowns and an interception in 3 games is phenomenal. I'd love to see someone pick apart the film and see just how often quarterbacks are trying to throw at him because from what I've seen, it's rare and I don't blame them. I don't know if he'll get any media love as a CFL all star by the end of the season, because I think teams are going to quickly learn that you just shouldn't throw at him. Big difference from the Jovon Johnson era where he made a lot of big plays ... for both teams.

Challenge time.

You are going to be living alone on Randle Island, and you can only take a few things with you. Pick 6.

1. Rye whisky

2. Rye whisky

3. Rye whisky

4. Rye whisky

5. A rope

6. Pamela Anderson

Just a heads up, you won't score on Randel Island.

No/. but a bit of grabbing and tugging is normally okay unless a ball is throw that way.. But balls are never thrown at #randleisland

You'd be better off taking cards so you could at least play with yourself.

#RandleIsland facts it has a one man army

Oh boy this week he will get plenty of shots to make plays. Covering Taj Smith will get more than the 2-3 balls thrown his way. #RandleIsland

Excellent article on Randle

Love this quote from him "Mike O'Shea is in charge. He's our absolute leader," said Randle. "It's what you need and what you want. One voice determining the course of the team. Players want structure. They want to be shown the way. O'Shea does that."
