Really helps in negotiations with certain players does it not?

Demarco Murray crying ...cya!! Take your weird angles, falling down self and loose ball control with you.

It all starts and ends with a great O-Line..

Can you even fathom the numbers a young Adrian Peterson or Chris Johnson would have put up with this line blocking for them?

AD...2350 yards 28 td's.
CJ..3001 yards 32td's

Madden type stuff going on man.

Our offense was, and still is simply stacked. Anyone who loads the box will get destroyed by Romo and Dez. My point is that as amazing as our OL is, our passing attack can be credited with the easy running just as much.

Just look at the Arizona game for proof of this.

Those weird angles are what you should be worried about 2 maybe even 3 times a year. Murray has the uncanny and natural ability to not get hit and move the ball forward.

Well said indeed, it starts and ends in the trenches.

I think it's silly to just discredit Demarco for this teams success last season. I don't hear anyone mentioning how good this offensive line had Demarco..... And btw, Demarco was killing it long before Zach or Fredericks came along. His weakness was his injuries.....

I'm okay with not bringing him back but no need to sound bitter over his loss by discrediting him.

Totally agree, but that's what happens around here.

Thank you. It's to the point where it's laughable.

It's ridiculious. The Eagirls still have no quarterback or receivers. They still have ways to go to simply get back to where they were last season never mind getting better. Demarco took over 400 touches for this team and was far better at pass blocking and picking up the blitz than any running back on this roster was. No need to be silly and discredit him altogether. There was a time when we had no offensive line and Demarco was killing it.

Btw, when everyone was talking about Romo being MVP here last season I don't recall anyone discrediting him for having plenty of time to throw from the pocket. But we discredit Demarco? Really?

I don't like him going to Philly, but he was a warrior last year.
