Yet again, with pretty much everything the eagles have done this offseason, I don't think this is a good move.  Murray had 396 carries last year, a TON in todays NFL.  After guys tote the rock that much, they always fall short of matching that kind of production the next season.  Remember Larry Johnson, Jamal Lewis, Jamal Anderson, and Eddie George all had these massive loads then either broke down the next year or just fell well short of the same production.  Add to this that Dallas has the best O-line in the NFL and #2 isn't close, I'm just not sure it was worth what they will pay when McCoy is as good if not better.

We pretty much broke Stephen Davis here that way.

Philly has a great oline.  Not sure why they'd want a workhorse back like Murray when they just had McCoy who I feel fits better into the misdirection, pass happy and speed based offense of Chip's.

 

 

Actually it's the opposite  - Chip's scheme calls more for a "north/south" one cut and go runner like a Frank Gore than a RB like McCoy. Seems odd considering the perception people have of the offense he runs but that is what Chip prefers.

This, along with tagging Dez, may be the smartest 2 moves the Dallas Cowboys have pulled in a long long time.

 

 

Dez has issues, more than we know about, and you just don't need to pay a running back big money in today's NFL, especially if you have a great O Line.

 

 

Hats off to the boys.  Seems strange to type that.

Considering both Mathews and Murray have had injury issues I find it smart to sign another good RB. It's a lot of money to invest in the Rb position but I'm guessing the Eagles plan on running the ball a lot more and Sproles plays a major role in special teams and the passing game.

Backs that played under Chip Kelly at Oregon:

Jonathan Stewart

Lagarrette Blount

Outside of Barner those two were prob the two best backs he coached. You need someone who can take punishment in this league. Not someone who loses yards as McCoy a lot last year.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      Someone correct me- doesn't Dave have a six year contract??? I think Dan Morgan does as well..... that's the price you have to pay once you get a rep for firing HCs....

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.
