DeMarco Murray vs his old O-Line

You know how some running backs like to give a lot of credit to their offensive line?

DeMarco Murray has other ideas right now.

For those who believe that running back DeMarco

 Murray

’s success with the Cowboys last season was largely because of their excellent offensive line, that possibility will be reason to think Murray will be less productive this season. Murray doesn’t share that opinion nor the one that says that his 2014 output should be credited to running behind a strong line anymore than the work of backs like Emmitt Smith should be discounted because of their blockers.

“I think Barry Sanders is the only one who didn’t have a great O-line. Emmitt Smith, Terrell Davis, all these guys had great lines,” Murray said, via USA Today. “It’s a little comedic to me. Every successful running back usually has a couple good offensive linemen. Those guys were great, I’ve got a lot of respect for those guys. This group here, they’ve got some Pro Bowlers and great players.”

Comedic?

Really?

I think is is saying that he does give credit to the o-line but they wasn't the only sole reason he had a good year. I could be wrong though. He talked about some of the greats having good lines too

Agree to a point. He's also comparing himself to some pretty great running backs.

This may indeed be one of those cases where what he meant to say came out rather poorly. But either way. I suspect his old teammates probably won't appreciate it much.

He obviously just meant that its comedic to say he only had a good year because of his oline.  Im sure plenty of people like to question whether or not he was as good as his numbers suggested he was last year..Im sure thats why he made those comments.  Wake up people..You hate it when the media twists things about us..Your reaction to stories like this is exactly why they do it..

All honesty, I'm targeting mcfadden in fantasy football.  I hate the cowgirls, but that o-line is amazing.  On the flip side, I'm avoiding Murray like the plague, guys who are asked to run as many times as he did tend to break down the next season (Larry Johnson, Jamal Lewis, and Jamal Anderson come to mind).

Joseph Randle is the Cowboys running you really want.

​he needs to stay healthy first. if he does, he could have a big year.

​It's comedic that people here are actually even taking this bait smh.  I read it and got highly annoyed at the misleading headline.

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
