Murray or Jones? Or both?

The guy "made of glass" has been playing through minor/major injuries while everyone's favorite RB, DeMarco has missed considerable time the last two years.

Why isn't he being ridiculed for being hurt all the time?

Fine with me.. give me more Dunbar and Tanner. Less chance of the field tackling them or them fumbling.

Calling him a bust from day one is a bit much.

Didn't he have a good rookie season?

His constant injuries are disappointing and I'm afraid were getting the same type of guy in Lee

He's the current punching bag as soon as he leaves town Murray will take his place.

He did, but he was still a bust right from day 1. We drafted a backup RB in round 1. That's all there is to it, really.

Some people might want to go back and watch Dunbar in blitz pickup last week. Having Jones out--especially now that he's finally playing well--is a fairly big negative for a team that's missing it's starting RB, is playing with a makeshift fourth string C and has a geriatric at RG and a RT who's suddenly forgotten how to play.

With all that you just said.. I still would prefer Dunbar over a hobbled Felix. I only saw him miss one blitz pickup. That can happen to any RB. I like the idea of a RB with fresh legs and the potential to break one.

Oh, I definitely agree. Felix is still our best available RB. And losing him this game will be awful. That means the running game will not exist, which means we will pass alot, which means Dunbar has to pass protect, which means bad bad things.

I think it's a blitz pickup issue

I find it comical...that a poster here refuted my assertion that Jones was hurt. I said I thought Murray at 85% shoudl play because Jones knee was heavily wrapped against Philly. The poster insisted that Jones was as healthy as ever....some people on this forum...it is quite obvious that the only sport they have EVER played was via video games. And once again...for the record...I think Murray should play Thursday. If it was the playoffs he would play...and I personally think the organization is in deep denial by LETTING wait another week. I mean did he sprain his foot....or did it fall off?

I don't know the extent of Murray's injury but I badly want him to play too. I would take him at 85% over Felix any day. This game is EXTREMELY important for our playoff hopes.

Maybe it was me that messed up Dunbar's number then. Oops.

I take it back, if it was Felix that blew the pickup. I'm glad he's hurt

Felix and Murray are not practicing today.
