As of right now he is the leading rusher (yards) in the NFL right now with 285 yards.

That's really good news. It's been a long time since we heard that a Dallas RB is leading the league in rushing. That's a reflection on investing in the oline.

I just hope Murray stays healthy.

If Murray had that break away speed he would have an additional 100 yards added to that total. Murray should beast this year I wonder if he could break 2,000 if we continue with the run game. Do anyone know the exact number for the single season rushing record ?

Yeah it's going t drop some more. We Will most likely settle down around 20.

Isn't it 2100-something?

Isn't it 2100-something?

2,105 Eric Dickerson with the 1984 Rams.

2,105 Eric Dickerson with the 1984 Rams.

And who was the last 2000 yard rusher? Johnson?

Never mind, it was AP.

I am not even thinking about 2k for Murray for a couple of reasons.

1. I don't think he has stayed healthy a whole season going back to his days at OU.

2. Even if he does stay healthy I don't know if the cowboys will stay committed to the run for the long haul. Would not be shocked if they are doing it right now because they know Romo is not 100%.

Running game has paid dividends for the defense. Only surrendering 15 PPG through 2 games as opposed to 26 per in the first two games last year.

I'll take it.

If Romo gets back to form and our defense is the 20th best in the league then we may end up having a pretty good season.

This is what saddens and bothers me the most. I'm not worried about #1. He will stay healthy. It's the prospect of #2 that has bothered me for the last few years. A lack of true commitment to the run has hurt us every year. I'm hopeful that Linehan will stand strong and maintain a solid commitment all year.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

I would probably set my sights on Emmitt's team record, which still is a pretty high number. Murray doesn't break off enough long runs to get to 2000. Also, for yesterday's method to work they need to get ahead and score first so stopping the early game fumbles would be nice.

I think that's highly possible.

Someone tell me, is that above 20?

I'm not worried about the commitment of the run game.


If I had a complaint about Linehans playcalling so far though it's that we try to get cute around the goal line and throw it instead of punching it in.

That may be on Romo though.

And that would be fine and dandy with me.

 

[TimHortons]

Maybe Romo struggling is a blessing in disguise as it is forcing Linehan to lean on the run, although on second thought, we probably won't do much of Romo keeps playing like this. Even with a great run game, to win in today's league to still need to be able to pass the ball very well. Hopefully we can continue leaning in the run AND Romo can get back some accuracy on his throws

worked out pretty good yesterday with the 1 on 1 match up with Dez down by the goal line. Nothing cute about it just well executed easy TD. We ran one in as well and in my opinion by being able to do both it puts defense in a bad position.
