Per source: Randall did not leave Lambeau during the game. Waited in locker room for game to end.

Mike McCarthy sticks by Damarious Randall after kicking him off sideline
https://t.co/vuiHOJlTXa
His players do what he asks and they don't bail on him. He's pretty good at balancing taskmaster and being player friendly. Part of that is his public persona of not criticizing players (certainly not individuals) in public.
Called it!
from above Demo article:
Quote:
Cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt recently moved from the coaches' box to the sideline, and Whitt has the authority to make personnel changes, defensive coordinator Dom Capers said recently.
I would think the players appreciate not getting tossed under the bus by McCarthy.
Now we'll see whether Randall learns from this or not. Though by the defiant way he seemed to respond to reporters' questions, it would appear he has yet to sample the humble pie that was readily available.
Defiant, yes. But I thought he was attempting (albeit clumsily) to mimic McCarthy and keep it internal.Quote:

We do want our corners to have SOME attitude, after all.
Just my personal take, but Damarious is struggling to adapt to Green Bay and the Packers.
WHAT, he's not "Packer people"? Run him out of town.Quote:

Everyone seemed to love LeTroy, who was just too much of a goof to allow his success to continue.Quote:

And since we can't transmogrify Randall's physical gifts onto Gunter, then we ought to at least get the guru of goof try to get some of Gunter's personality to rub off on Randall.Quote:

yup. my thoughts too. he's got a year left on his contract. if he becomes a cancer he won't last to see the end of it.Quote:

He needs to take personal responsibility when he is beaten. Damarious Randall's job is to cover an offensive threat; simply focus and deliver on his assignment and stop with the silly excuses.
He's not paid very well to be 'a distraction' with any special privilege.
I agree. Watching several games going back, it's astonishing how almost every time he gives up a play, he turns and gestures to the refs, his teammates or the sidelines. I suspect he sees the fault lies 'elsewhere'Quote:
