5 thoughts: Dallas Cowboys should run DeMarco Murray right to a division title

[RS12]

2.) DeMarco Murray just can’t be contained. On his way to setting the NFL record for most 100-yard games to open a season, Murray ran over the Giants and ran out the clock. Just another day at the office for the Cowboys’ Pro Bowl running back, 28 carries for 128 yards. If Murray keeps running like he has, the Cowboys are showing they can beat anyone in the NFL. Dallas can’t worry about pitch counts, give Murray as many chances as he can handle.

3.) Tony Romo, Jerry Jones, Jason Garrett and Dez Bryant talked earlier this week about the Cowboys having a significant home-field advantage Sunday at AT&T Stadium. That’s exactly what they got. From the opening kickoff, the soldout crowd was on their feet and providing an atmosphere that is uncommon in Jones’ billion-dollar venue. The noise even led to a couple of New York false starts. The Cowboys play their next two games at home. Similar crowds should be expected, and that’s good news for Romo, Jones, Garrett and Bryant.

“It was outstanding out there,” Romo said. “They were a big part of that win and I think that’s going to continue at home. It felt a lot like what Seattle had up there, so that is pretty big.”

4.) Gavin Escobar’s breakout game makes me think the 2013 draft could end up being pretty impressive for the Cowboys offense. Escobar had two touchdowns and 65 receiving yards against the Giants. Center Travis Frederick continued to open running lanes for Murray and Terrance Williams caught his team-high sixth touchdown pass. Throw in some good production from Joseph Randle and this group could make the Cowboys scouting department look very good going forward

I agree. There's too much talk about Murray's carries. Worry about them when you have 9 or 10 wins. Actually worry about them when you have 11. They can run him into the ground for all I care. There was one possession this game where we had a 3 and out and Murray didn't get ONE carry. That tells me all I need to know. We need Murray NOW.

I have no problem with Murray high carries as long as he isn't resigned. Let another team deal with his over-use from this year. I'll say it again, Escobar can be more dangerous than Witten. I like Witten as security blanket for Romo on 3rd downs. But in NFL you need TE that can stretch defense down the seam and Escobar flashed big time potential today. I think its the deepest offense I have ever seen from Dallas.

The wear on Murray won't be immediate. I think we can get another contract out of him. Besides, I don't think the future starter is on the roster right now and we need to focus on defense in the draft.
