Murray is the one frustrated and trying to understand why the eagles are limiting him as much as they are. I agree if Kelly had concerns then he should not have paid out the contract they did but Murray seems to willing and ready to get to work.

that is my take on it.

Well chip could be lying, about how he intends to use murray during regular season.

I think you play him a little in PS with rest of starters, but that is it.
However during regular season. I would use him as a workhorse and not worry about how many carries he gets per game.

If he gets tired put matthews in till murray is ready to go again.
you could play one on one drive and next drive is the other back.

I think murray is in good shape, but you dont want him burnt out at playoff time.

I think you could play him a lot early and then if you have a game or 2 in 2nd half where you face a weaker team, play matthews and sproles
and rest murray .

I dont think restricting murray to like 10-15 carries a game is a good idea.

Any player can get hurt each week, so you just have to use them so you get the most out of them to win games, and if they
get hurt you just next man up.

if used right murray can help them win games , and he wont help much with 10 carries a game.

Now the other thing is I would use murray as a pass catching back much more than what dallas used him.
With bradford I would not play him till he is ready , fully healed, then play him like you would any QB.
You cant baby players for fear of injury. holding them out of PS games is ok if they dont need the practice.
Like sean lee, you dont really need to play him much or at all in PS. he is a smart guy and knows his duties for his position.

Murray caught a ton of passes for Dallas. Do you ever have any idea what you're talking about? Because you're either completely lost or full on concern trolling.

3.5 passes a game isnt a ton is it ?? Many times murray was wide open for a short pass, and tony threw elsewhere, and many of those were inc.

3rd on team in receptions last year behind Dez and JWit.

yeah but 57 catches, =3.5 a game, I was thinking instead of a lot of carries, throw to him 10 times a game and 10-15 carries.
With the qbs they have and chips offense short passes are better, so they could use the RB more in that area.

Murray was effective after the catch.

57 catches for a RB is a ton. Tony led the league in completion percentage but you're saying he threw lots of incompletions. Again, hope either trolling or making up stuff. Only explanation for your zany comments since you graced us with your presence.

We wouldn't all be laughing. Murray was a risky signing, demanding a fairly big deal at an older age for a RB after so many seasons. I wasn't laughing at the Eagles for dealing McCoy, for similar reasons. But, now that he's an Eagle, you better believe we're going to take pleasure of every hint of frustration or disappointment with that contract. I think that's pretty understandable, under the circumstances. It doesn't really have anything to do with our own RB position group (which is going to be just fine, btw).

I think if chip had a chance to redo a few things....l he doesn't sign Murray and maybe not even Bradford.
