To be honest, I'm not even quite sure I understand the meaning of the topic of this thread, ie "Randle El Signing Show's Why Skins Can't Compete" What does the signing of Randle El have to do with the teams inability to compete? The reason the team can't/don't/won't/compete is because of their inconsistency, which we've witnessed since the pre-season. It's not that they can't, it's that they haven't, at least this year. That does not neccessarily mean we will continue down the same path.

As for Randle El there's two things I would like to see, one he can control, and the other, the coaches have to help him with. One, when he field's punts, I'd like to see him do more of what he did in the Colts game. He fielded the punt, and went straight ahead, split two defenders, and took it to the house. No more running east & west. Two, I would like to see the coaches find more creative ways of getting him the ball aside from the obvious. There are more ways to get him involved aside from the ocasional option pass, and the routine reverse. It's up to the coaches to get that acomplished.
