Sounds like RR could use a little of what Chad Jones has mentally. You know appreciation, dedication, enthusiasm, work ethic, selflessness etc.

Makes you appreciate a guy like Chad Jones who is fighting tooth and nail to get on the field.

It doesnt matter if your a 15 year vet or a rookie. When someone is not working hard, you let them know. I dont care if its Victor Cruz or a fellow rookie saying it.

Miles had 3 years to work with this kid. He should have gotten the kid's mind right by now. You like that?

Ruben needs to wake up and listen to the people who really know instead of the people that really don't know...

He was handed everything on a platter since grade school because he was athletically superior to everyone. IT AIN"T THAT WAY NO MORE>

These coaches and players DO NOT GAF in the league. I can assure you Coughlin don't care when the guy was drafted or who he thinks he is, he will cut his arse or make him ride pine all day if he is loafing out there. Coughlin don't tolerate that crap and there 150 other WR out there just as talented and far more motivated adn coachable than Randle.

He needs to either pick up the effort or pick up a good financial adviser.

Cruz can say anything he wants to Randle, no question about it

I think our style of offense and Les Miles justified that.

He is 4 games into his rookie year, get off of your jump to conclusion mate and let him develop in an offense that is just slightly more difficult then LSU's.

Umm, jump to conclusion? You do realize the OP posted a linked article?

Oh, but no. Rueben was fantastic in all aspects of the game.

The more and more that comes out about him tells me he has no heart for the game and is just doing it for the paycheck. left early for the paycheck and didn't like Miles.

His effort in the NCG, or lack thereof....
His "quits at times" reviews by NFL analysts
His recent tweets about the coaching by Miles....
Now his teammates are criticizing him.....

Sadly, these have been my thoughts as well. I tihnk it stems from some family influence, myself, based on quotes and such starting with his recruitment. He can be a great player. Not sure about being a great person.
