Demarco's Fake Instagram Msg

[Toruk_Makto]

Yeah he played with a broken hand which made it hard to stiff arm anyone. And still avg 98 yards a game in that period along with 8 TD. Not bad for a guy that defense focuses on and not playing at 100%

Now imagine what a superior talent could do running behind an offensive line that allowed Murray to do that.

Peppers was engaged with Martin and the hole was big enough to drive two trucks through. Peppers closed the gap and made a play.

But here is the deal all the people who wish to blame Murray. Remember Tiki Barber? He had a problem holding onto the ball and he changed things.

Do any of you really believe Murray will not work on that aspect?

Sometimes the other guy makes a better play. We love in a blame society that looks for someone to punish for our own disappointments. That is why reality TV and hosts of talk shows are so aggressive. That is a popular theme now days because in our society we assuage our own smallness by blaming those we see in the limelight.

Peppers made a good play. But that play did not cost the team the game.

Demarco Murray lead the league in fumbles. So yeah, Peppers did make a good play but Murray had a habit of fumbling. Will he work on it? I don't know, he ran with the ball carelessly the same way all season and didn't change a thing and that is what bothers me.How upset was he that he was fumbling? What did he do to address it? Nothing. If he was working on protecting it better than I would have no issues with him. I was not surprised at all that Peppers easily stripped the ball out. Although Murray led the league in fumbles, I'm actually surprised he didn't fumble even more the way he carries the ball.

Murray is a very good talent others around the NFL and who cover the NFL know that. Some around here don't. Not much I can say

This. His teammates and coaches seem to think so to.

Curious, how long have you been a Cowboys fan?

Why does it matter how long he's been a fan?

 

[Nightman]

great players don't fumble in big situations

I really think Romo decided to take a shot because of the one on one himself

Dez has more fumbles than Murray on a lot less touches

How dare you inject logic into this witch hunt?

 

[Nightman]

If you think Murray had the same juice to end the season as he did to start.... Well... I disagree.

That makes more sense than it carrying over to 8 months later. He had a broken hand, a season full of dings and still put up over 100 yds in 2 of his last 3 games.

Everyone talks about the fumble in the GB game, but no one mentions the burst he had to get the corner and get inside the 5 on the next drive. And then he punched it in to put us up 21-13, but GB had ALL the momentum by then(sarcasm)

I agree he's a great talent, but really what do you expect from his teammates and coaches? Them to say he's easily replaceable?

No often times player do not say anything.

Although Murray led the league in fumbles, I'm actually surprised he didn't fumble even more the way he carries the ball.

Tiki Barber also ran the same way all season and they changed his grip in training camp.

Further, if Peppers made a good play, the fact Murray fumbled in the past is interesting, but hardly germane. I understand it is a concern. But one that has a potential of being fixed. Because there isn't a determining way to understand the fumble was 28.354% Peppers good play and the rest Murray's usual fumblitis.

You can't fix what Julius Jones offered, which is find the nearest offensive lineman and run headlong into his back before falling down.

Nor can you assume the line is the catalyst for Murray's success, since he ripped off a 5 yard per carry for his entire career as a Cowboys. Marry that with the fact that Murray moves piles in the right direction and the chains on third downs.

There is an expression, or tenet on this site, "We have to see what the young guys can do." The track record of the unknown suddenly delivering greatness is not so high on this team. You have a known quantity in Murray which can be improved in ball security with work - and that quantity has expressed his undying desire to work hard - and even with his results diminishing to 1300 yards for the season, he is steady, consistent, a leader, and a play maker.

You show me any of the unknowns on this team or in this draft that can guarantee that. Because Murray can. And the only real gripe is his salary. And while the brain trust here believes this team cannot afford him, and that RB's are a dime a dozen, both of those are rumors whispered over the back fence by wash women who surmise instead of know for a fact.

What I find startling is this fanbase on this site screamed about a quality RB for years. One shows up and the average Joe here is ready to cast him adrift because of money that is not theirs and a guideline the NFL has implied which is not a one size fits all fact.

I didn't hear a peep out of the team mates of Julius Jones when they sent him packing. (I might add when he took his bags to leave he ran into a lineman and fell down)

And save for Witten and Romo, most of the talent on that team stunk on ice. So even crappy players didn't break ankles trying to get to microphones to defend Julius Jones. It was that, or else a sudden outbreak of laryngitis occurred with all Jones' teammates on the same day.

DeMarco is currently claiming he has no knowledge of who posted it and Glazer reports a rogue ball boy in the bathroom with an iPhone at Valley Ranch.

History says otherwise....

A rb only has so many carries in his body.

That history is leaving out a lot of points one being in many cases those carries came later in their career and they had a lot of carries before their big season. Murray on his career avgs 17 carries a game he did not put a lot prior to this season and at 26 this past season is not going to cause him to slow down. Damn we have 6 fricken month before they hit the field. lol

And Murray still has a ton left

We have both been around long enough to know that they don't have to come out and say any thing of substance to just be polite.
These guys are fighting to bring him back, including JG. Romo has said as much.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

As he said himself, he feels great and he doesn't take massive or hard hits. He's not Barber.

Say whaaatttt? Bet that don't get discussed no matter how true it is.
