And this is just temporary till Sunday I know, but still he is doing good for
a washed up not worth the money guy !

Crowell seems to be a good RB that cleveland just doesnt use enough.
If only they had a real HC ! lol
Same for ajay of miami
and mcoy of buffalo.
If they ran more they might win some games.

I know you will say but they are playing from behind !
Well unless it is last 2 min, you can still mix in some runs.
And maybe that is why they are behind to begin with??

Well he got in two extra games on Zeke. Titans haven't had bye week yet, I think, plus they've added the yards from the Thursday night game. Zeke will pass him this Sunday night in the Eagles game.

Still he is proving the doubters wrong!

it helps playing 8 games when everyone else has played 6 or 7
I said it would change sunday, and the bye thing messes with stats all year like that.
They should have 2 bye weeks mid season and 1/2 the teams play on those 2 weeks.
That way all teams get the bye when it is most beneficial, and it is done in 2 weeks.

But regardless he is the leader for 2 days lol

I hope this settles it for all the clueless people pointing and laughing at what he did last year with the Eagles. Anyone with common sense knew that was the worst situation for him. They didn't run a featured back system and he was running mainly misdirections and runs where he is getting the ball at a stand still. He is now back to running with the style he did when he was here. He's one of the top RBs in the league. I love Zeke now but at the time, I definitely wanted to keep him over Dez. I never understood how anyone though the RB by committee with McFadden, Randle and Dunbar would be even close to as effective as Murray.

I'm happy for him.

Agreed. I am happy seeing Murray killing it in TN.

I liked Murray, but paying him what he wanted wouldn't have been a good business move.

Murray no longer leads the league in rushing. He briefly lead because he played Thursday night.

Note: Murray has played 8 games and Zeke 7 games

They both were fine......Triplets are expensive but worth it.....we are paying Zeke almost as much

Paying Zeke almost as much as whom? Zeke makes nowhere near what Murray and Dez are bringing in right now.

Paying Murray that much would have been dumb at his age. He's having two really good years behind the best two offensive lines in football, but he does not have the dynamic ability of a guy like Elliott. You pay for special, and Murray isn't special.

Eagles got too cute this year. With the change to a more traditional offense, Murray would have been a great back for them, easing the pressure off Wentz. They should have kept him.

good point, had they had murray this game with dallas and used him right way, they might have won.
But I have to say they didnt even use sproles right, unless he got hurt, he only got 15 carries.
