point is demarco avg 5 ypc before zach martin, he was an excellent pass blocker before zach martin, and was always a pass catching threat before zach martin.

in your guys quest to poo poo on all of our ex-players, you're forgetting about all the other things a good running back does besides run the ball.

It is not my quest to poo poo on past players so why don't you quit trying to poo poo on the team and posters who are not whining as much as you.

The reason they FINALLY committed to the run was because we committed to and had a good online.

Not hard to figure out.

Seriously! Also the reason Romo had a career year. Not just because of the running game, but also because he had time to throw the dang ball! :clap:

@BrAinPaiNt it's not just you by the way. there have been more negative comments about dwayne harris, bruce carter, demarco murray, justin durant, and henry melton the last 3 days than the last 6 months. i had no idea so many fans had this much disdain for the 2014 team.

I made my point. It is the opposite of yours... You either get it or not.

demarco has no control over how much he gets the ball, only what he does with it when he gets it. that production remained steady with or without zach martin.

we all know the commitment issues with the run game had as much to do with jason garrett as it did with the lack of talent at the right guard position.

It's a team sport, and we've arguably a 4 pro bowl caliber OL that helped greatly in producing not only a top rusher, but a career year for an aging QB with a terrible back. Murray is a solid all around back, but please tell me how he compares to the greats? You don't pay $9M+ for a "solid back." You pay a stud that much. I'm not saying just anybody can come in and get 1,800+ behind that line. That took a lot of gas, but you don't need 1 guy to get you 1800 yards. I think everyone can agree we should have spared a few yards for the back ups. We need a guy who can block, catch and hit the hole quick. Job done. If Jones and Barber can do it behind that aging line back in the day, we just should be fine going forward without blowing all of our money. Defense should be a much greater concern.

And he listened to his Agent and not his teammates under Jason Garrett. Myself, I wouldn't be investing in Chip Kelly.

The blue book at the USAFA was called Contrails.

  1. Contrails are clouds formed when water vapor condenses and freezes around small particles (aerosols) that exist in aircraft exhaust. Some of that water vapor comes from the air around the plane; and, some is added by the exhaust of the aircraft. The exhaust of an aircraft contains both gas (vapor) and solid particles.Nov 21, 2014

The USAFA used Contrails as a base level knowledge resource for first year Cadets. You had to know all the knowledge contained in it, and were quizzed at meals during your Basic Summer. If you didn't know manufacturer, armament, and speed of a specific air craft...well, you sat at attention without food. Know about the bust of Eddie Rickenbacker and his bust on the quadrangle of the billeting/school grounds? Well the base of that bust and Contrails told the 'squat do jazzes' about Americas first recognized Ace. And an inscription of man's flight through life is powered by the strength of his knowledge. By the way, know the manufacturer of the F-111? Yep, in the Contrails.

Oh, and the contrails that you reference arrived with jets...

the biggest difference btw demarco last year and years prior isn't the oline, it's the commitment to the run game. last year was actually his third lowest average per carry but he had 180 more carries than any other season prior.

If he had 100 less carries,his ypc would have been incredible last year.
It dropped because he was overworked....should have divided it up more.
Oh well, Philly's problem now

Coincidence, I think not.
DeMo will find out the money is not always greener on the other side.
I'm so depressed:(

Oh yes, so true.
The only true green is the color of his uniform now, as money can't buy him a ring. Eagles done tried it once, and the 2nd time will fail also.

... and money ain't going to buy him those huge gaping holes he ran through (and missed) while in Dallas. Plus he won't have any legs left on game day and by the end of the year after the Chipster get through with him.
