JR should have just kept his mouth shut

JR Ewing ??
Irvin thinks like some of us here, that the cowboys had a good chemistry with murray, ol, and romo.
He felt dont mess with that , but the jones boys did mess with it , they tossed it, so here we are at 2-3.
our run game is just avg now, and it may never get back to what it was last year.
It is a shame because they were close to being a SB team.

Murray tossed it too though, he got a good contract, but his time in philly looks to be a struggle and very frustrating.
Sort of like signing with the devil, it looks good up front, but he didnt look at the micro fine print hidden on back page.

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).

we might have been sitting here this year (in a timeline when Murray stayed with the Cowboys and Romo and Dez never got hurt) talking about how Murray is not the same and or the Defenses figured him out etc.

or maybe talking about how good it feels to be the best team in Football and the team to beat.


ethier could have played out. who knows.

Jerry should try to trade for murray right now and see what happens, offer a 3rd round pick for him?
Still time to trade !
We could even throw in weeden on the deal.

Hilarious! Absolute truth, unnecessary cutbacks instead of hitting the freaking hole.

We didn't "get rid of Murray." He was a damn free agent.

Jesus ******* Christ he's GONE. GET THE **** OVER IT.

Maybe we would if the running game was as good as last year. And the running game didn't look that great the first 2 games either.

I swear. I was just expressing this identical thought earlier this week. Thanks to the Playmaker for validating.

His validation (the message) will sink in because now it's not just coming from another fan. :thumbup:

lol, Irvin's opinions are all over the map and sometimes ludicrous. Finding validation in a shared opinion with Michael is kinda weak, especially since his opinion was set before the season even started.

If you guys think Murray would be doing any better behind this line this year with opposing teams stacking the box and without Romo and Dez then you are smoking crack. Randle has been pretty good this year when there's been a hole and he's not earning the ire of his coaches.

Keep telling yourself that. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

If defenses don't respect your passing game then you won't be able to run and so far Weeden and the play calling hasn't garnered much respect from opposing coordinators. This would be the same for anyone running the ball, people ask about our oline, imo I think that they'll be fine when the passing game comes around. I think that you have to keep the defense honest to have any success on offense, once that goes away then you'll have what we have now. If an NFL team decides that they are going to stop the run and sell out to do that then there's nothing that you can do about it.

Irvin is just as salty as ever. Meanwhile his boy in Philly continues to flounder and he's silent.

Cowboys never "got rid" of Murray. He left a better situation ( before these injuries ) but a lil more money. The Eagles are still struggling to figure out what to do with him. If Romo & Dez were still healthy, Randle ( or any RB for that matter ) would have a better chance at getting that "meat" from the bone.

The Cowboys got rid of Murray.

Their offer was an insult. It's sad because Murray would have taken less money than market value but their offer absolutely drove Murray out of Dallas.

Murray was the catalyst. Now, he's becoming acclimated to the Eagle's system, he is far from done.

I refer to Randle as the Vegetarian, apparently he doesn't eat meat.

Oh is his boy floundering?? He's like 5 yards less then Randle in the season? He's made up for that the last 2 games. He will by far have more rushing yards on the season then Mr. Tofu eater Randle. We need a real RB and it ain't Randle
