Default FWST: Cowboys are not counting on having DeMarco Murray this week
-- Charean Williams/Carlos Mendez

The Cowboys are not ready to count on DeMarco Murray against Cleveland, a team source said. He’ll get a chance to prove himself in practice this week, but the Cowboys again insisted they want him to be 100 percent, and not just close, before he plays.

“There are a lot of different thresholds that he has to get over,” coach Jason Garrett said. “He’s certainly making progress. ... We’ll see how he is the next couple of days. Hopefully he’ll do something on Wednesday.”

Well............crap.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

I don't think he plays against Cleveland or Washington.

Murray has missed half the season so far an he is still the leading rusher. Just shows you how bad the running game has been without him.

I think I posted before that I wouldn't be surprised if Murray doesn't play until after the Thanksgiving game.

They should not need him to beat Cleve land.

This is the right approach. I want Murray 100% ready and if that means not having him back til December that is fine. We didn't have him last December or for some of it at least. We can get by these next few without him IMO. And when he does come back don't run him all the time. Mix it up with him and Felix. The Cowboys started the year running Murray all the time or at least 90% of the running plays. I'd like to see 60-40 or 70-30 with Murray and Jones.

I wouldn't hesitate to draft another this spring.

But of course until we have some semblance of a functioning offensive line it probably won't matter much.

We'll settle this with a good dust up.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Cowboys replace Felix, Tanner, or Dunbar with Alabama's RB Lacey.

He wouldn't get away with this if Parcels, or, Johnson were the coach. Lots of college running backs will be entering the draft. Time to find one who can stay healthy. He's taking a roster position away from somebody who could help.
