[tps_title]Joseph Randle: Wallace[/tps_title]
Ugh, Wallace. Wallace’s death is one of the most tragic and heavy moments on the entire show. But from the Barksdale’s perspective, it was necessary.
Like Wallace, Joseph Randle was just a young player, but there was hope that he could take over the starting running back job after the departure of DeMarco (Deangelo) Murray (Barksdale).
Wallace had been making moves in those towers, just as Randle had impressed during his limited time as a running back.
Unfortunately, neither Randle nor Wallace was cut out for the game. And they both saw their lives tumble awfully and quickly.
Randle’s football “death” is depressing considering both his talent and the way it went down. But from the Cowboys’ perspective, it was necessary.
The game just wasn’t in him.
Nicely written. Good job!
I love this so much. Great work, Kevin! A few more that I'd throw in there… Jason Garrett = Cedric Daniels (Straight-laced leaders who want to do things the right way.) Cole Beasley = Kima Greggs (Overcomes the physical odds to hang with the big boys.) Dan Bailey = Prop Joe (Never gets rattled.) Scandrick/Carr/Claiborne = Herc/Carver/Prezbo (Some major liability issues.) Some non-Cowboys, too…. Chip Kelly = Bunny Colvin (Disgraced after a failed experiment.) Eli Manning = Dukie (self-explanatory) Roger Goodell = Clay Davs (Everything that comes out of their mouth is "Sheeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiit.")
