Keep in mind, Murray had lost his home run hitting ability with the team. He was actually pretty bad in the open field. He seemed to slow down instead of turning things into a foot race. It was my biggest complaint against him, just like it is with Zeke now. Murray didn't regain his home run ability until he left Dallas.
By the end of the season Murray had lost a step and didn't have the same explosion either. Might have been why Peppers got a hand on the ball in the first place. Murray was a tick too slow getting by him.
People love to grind the bell cow, especially when they're "getting paid" like Zeke. Garrett was big on that. I didn't like it with Murray, and wished we had a guy to spell him. I'd rather have guys healthy and fresh for the game and for the full season.
We should lean on the run blocking of the oline. Keep Zeke on the field, but spread the carries to Pollard and Dak too. 20 10 5. They should get a FB in here they're willing to run too. And teach them all how to run block.
