This made my day.

This made my day.Man, how different this season could have been had he not gone down.

Man, how different this season could have been had he not gone down.

In the thread that just started over in the Fan Zone, I guarantee some will do their best to minimize the potential impact of such a loss. (already started) I maintain that it was one of the biggest losses of our season. He brought a level of stability to the offense that was immediately absent after he went down. I don't care how many yards the other RB(s) gained. In situational rushing, he kept the chains moving.

I hope he is the same. And by that report he should be. I'm already excited for next season, but am oh so glad this season is finally over.

Man, how different this season could have been had he not gone down.

He surely was the biggest unplanned surprise of 2011. With Murray, Jones and Tanner in the backfield at RB, along with Fiametta at FB, we really do have the potential to be powerhouse running team in 2012. All that's left is a legitimate C to hold the middle of the pocket intact.

This guy was arguably the best running back in the league this season.

Man, how different this season could have been had he not gone down.

And also if Fiammetta had stayed healthy.

IMO, he was the main difference maker for our offense this year.

Great news. He's got the rest of the offseason to continue strengthening it and restablishing flexibility in the ankle too.

Fantastic news on Murray.

If we make a couple of upgrades on the OL, we absolutely could. This will help Tony (take fewer hits and more effective play action) and our D (they'll be fresh). The new and improved running game will hopefully be the difference when we play in a blizzard in MetLife Stadium next year for the Super Bowl. :D Yeah I said it! Watching teams like the vagiants and Cards compete for Super Bowls in recent years has got to give any fan hope. A good draft and FA and we are right in the thick of it. We were actually right in the thick of it 'til the last week of this season too, but you'd never know it around here and think we were 4-12. C'mon free agency!

This is great news. I'm happy to hear this for sure. I want this kid to comeback with a vengence next year.

I listened to his interview and was glad to see him review his own season and talk about the things he needs to improve on to become a better player.
