Joseph Randle’s comment that DeMarco Murray “left a lot of meat on the bone’’ in his record breaking season with the Dallas Cowboys Cowboys created controversy.

“We addressed that with Joe really immediately,’’ Garrett said. “I think sometimes comments like that get taken out of context or they are not really intended the way they come out.

“I think Joe has great respect for DeMarco as we all do. Joe did a good job with his opportunities. Joe and everyone else on our football team, we have to focus on what we do, not with what we say and I think he understands that.’’ Murray, now in Philadelphia, took the comment in stride, saying he hopes Randle “can taste some of that meat’’ this season.
