Some great quotes in there...Randall always speaks his mind:
“We know what's ahead,’’ Randall said after Sunday’s 26-24 loss to the Ravens. “The NFL knows it’s in trouble, the AFC North knows it’s in trouble. We expect to win the AFC North next year, we expect to win a lot of games next year and we've just got to get back to the drawing board and get some rest and get back to work.’’
“We’re a force to be reckoned with,’’ said Randall. “At the end of the day, the AFC North is going to come through Cleveland from here on out and I’m just kind of looking forward to it. The future is bright here.’’
“This team’s got a lot of resiliency,’’ he said. “This team’s got a lot of character to it and we’ve got a lot of fight and that’s what you want in an NFL team.’’
“This is a group that's very tight and we got tight fast,’’ he said. “It went from ‘we're all on different teams’ to, ‘boom, we all play for the Browns, boom, we’re up in camp, boom, we're all together 24/7,’ it happens fast. I feel like with the wins we did get, that builds a lot of confidence, a lot of swag and I feel like guys take that into the offseason and want to get better.’’
“Some people look at this year as a rebuilding year, this and that, (but) we could have easily won 11, 12 games this year,’’ he said. “I don't look at no year as a rebuilding year. With the guys that we have in this locker room, we're a very talented group. It's a bittersweet moment to see teams we're better than go to the playoffs, but at the end of the day, you learn more from losses than from winning and this program, this team has had its fair share of losses, so now it's time to win.’’
“What coaches?’’ he said. “I mean, I could care less who the coach is, honestly. I'm here to play football. I get paid to play football and I get paid to help my team win games. That's what I'm going to continue doing and this is the game I love to play and I'm going to continue getting better.’’
“I love this team,’’ he said. “I want to be here for the rest of my career.’’
“You want guys challenging each other,’’ he said. “You want guys ready to make plays and I feel like we’ve got that here and a we’re a team to be reckoned with. Whoever’s on our schedule next year, good luck.’’
Sidenote...trading Kizer for Randall was absolute highway robbery.
