How High Can He Climb?

[MarionBarberThe4th]

I cat see the op but I can imagine what it says, I don't see Murray taking a beating from another team. It anything will slow him down it'll be a non contact Injury.

 

[DFWJC]

About 1700 because he'll be resting the last couple of weeks.

 

[Phoenix]

Single game.

A friend also pointed out longest run. So actually there are 4 and we own two. I want him to bust off 300 against Jville.

There is also the single season TD rushing record and the career TD rushing record.

Gotcha. Thanks.
Who owns that record now? Jamal Lewis?

Adrian Peterson I think. 296 yards.

Yeah, I was thinking only yardage. I think LTs single season one might be hard to catch.

1. Emmitt Smith, 1995, 1773
2. Emmitt Smith, 1992, 1713
3. Tony Dorsett, 1981, 1646
4. Emmitt Smith, 1991, 1563
5. Herschel Walker, 1988, 1514

Hard to see Murray not getting into the top 3.

Frankly I'm more concerned about his fumbles.

 

[BAT]

I gotta admit it, I want him to get that record. How cool would it be to have Cowboys owning two of the three biggest rushing yardage records that there are?

That record would be sweet next to Emmitt's and Dorsett's. Even sweeter next to his SB MVP.

 

[BAT]

Yeah, I was thinking only yardage. I think LTs single season one might be hard to catch.

Hopefully coaches start calling his number much more in the redzone. It was automatic for Emmitt whenever team got that close, should be the same way for Murray.

 

[KJJ]

Murray will destroy Emmitt's franchise record of 1773 yards IF he stays healthy and isn't plagued with a nagging injury that lingers. The big issue with Murray has been his health it was his inability to stay healthy that lowered his draft stock.

 

[TwoDeep3]

E. Smith 11/25. I knew there was a reason I always wear his jersey.

If Emmitt hadn't held out his first season and irritated Jimmy, he'd have been there twelve times.

 

[joseephuss]

Here is the list for yards from scrimmage. Herschel's 1987 season was very impressive. He did that in only 12 games due to the strike/lock out and of course had to split carries with Dorsett.

Based on Murray's history with the Cowboys and the large number of carries he's getting this season I will be surprised if he doesn't sustain some sort of injury that derails the great season he has going. I certainly hope that doesn't happen but we did get a scare a couple of weeks ago when he turned his ankle. Fortunately he was able to come back in the game and it didn't limit him.

Murray has to be just right to be effective. Because he's a cutback runner any lower leg injury that affects his ability to cut and change directions limits his effectiveness. We can only hope that he stays healthy because if he does he has a great chance to exceed 2000 rushing yards this season.

I think you're really a Skins fan trolling

I think you really need to get a clue. You keep it up and I won't be wasting anymore time with you.

Thank the good lord. Bye

If Emmitt hadn't held out his first season and irritated Jimmy, he'd have been there twelve times.

If Bruce Coslett hadn't been an idiot, 12.

See ya!

If he doesn't hit number 1 something went terribly wrong. Not only for him but this team.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Not bad for a guy who isn't elite and easily replaceable.
