After
DeMarco Murray signed with Philadelphia in March,
Cowboys running back
Joseph Randle said that it was a good thing that Murray was leaving Dallas because he wasn't getting the job done.
Clearly, Randle wasn't impressed by Murray's league-leading 1,845 rushing yards in 2014. According to Randle, Murray could've had even more yards last season, but he didn't, because he left
a lot of meat "on the bone."
"He (Murray) had a good year last year, but I got to sit back and watch a lot and I felt like there was a lot of meat left on the bone," Randle said earlier this year.
With Murray out of the picture in Dallas this season, Randle has had a chance to take all of the meat off the bone in the Cowboys running game, but that's not exactly what's happened so far. Just ask Hall of Famer Michael Irvin.
During an interview
with KZDC-AM in San Antonio this week, Irvin said that Randle's left more meat on the bone than anyone.
Irvin said,
via the Dallas Morning News.
Randle has 291 yards through five games this season. Murray had 285 yards after just two games last year.
Irvin doesn't think the Cowboys should have ever gotten rid of Murray.
Irvin said.
Unfortunately for Randle, he's left so much meat on the bone that Dallas is
expected to give some extra playing time to
Christine Michael this week.
As for Randle, Irvin thinks the Cowboys running back would probably take back his "meat on the bone" comment if he could.
As a team, the 2-3 Cowboys have rushed for a total of 533 yards in five games this season. At the game point last season, Murray was at 670 yards.
Randle might be able to take consolation in the fact that he's outrushing Murray this year though (291-242).
