OXNARD, Calif. -- Running back DeMarco Murray surprised more than a few people with his toughness during a breakout rookie season last year with the Dallas Cowboys.

Everyone knew about his speed and quickness after a standout career at Oklahoma, but his toughness and durability supposedly were concerns. It's one reason why he fell to the Cowboys in the third round after five other backs went ahead of him in the 2011 NFL Draft.

"The thing that excited me the most was the question mark on him: 'Was he a good inside runner?'" Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "We saw that he could carry the mail inside. We didn't know that. The draft didn't know that. The NFL didn't know that. But he showed that. So that is very encouraging. That gives you the stability or credibility that you like as your back."

Pave the road? Are you sure you didn't mean "plow the road?"



Yes, but can the OL install that round-about? hmmm???

I've got a prayer on my desk. It says, "Dear Lord, I pray that my place will never be with the cold, timid souls who do not compete yet criticize, for they never know or feel success or failure."
