Litmus test for dominant OL

[Wood]

is when you can make Joseph Randle look really good. Everyone needs to relax on how great Murray/Randle look and lets sign them up for next 15 years. The truth is that anyone can run behind this line right now. Dallas should keep their money in their pocket at RB and take one in first three rounds of draft.

3rd or later

They have to work on keeping tony upright.
but they are really strong right now in the run game.

Randle looked good in preseason behind our second string OL.

randle has gotten quicker....
and i'm sure wiser

If Murray signs for a reasonable price you can keep him. Otherwise go with Randle and Williams. Draft another RB in the 4th or later.

Please prove this. Or have you forgotten Julius Jones and the cast of thousands after Emmitt?

Prove anyone can run behind this line.

People here are always so quick to assume things are solved.

its obvious the oline is better. but it's also obvious that murray gets a lot of yeards on his own. randle ran good in camp behind second oline. i think murray is a fine rb. the question about a new contract is a different story.a guy does'nt have to be a bum to not offer him a 2nd contract. murray is a fine back but i'm not a fan of offering 2nd contracts to rb's. the only players i offer a 2nd contract are those who are very cheap and super stars. the rest you have to keep replacing in the draft in order to mange the cap

Great post. You're exactly right.

The problem is I have no faith in the front office being that bright. "Running back gain yards, running back good" is about all the insight they're capable of.

julius jones played behind this line?

I don't know if ANYONE can run behind this line but I hazard to say it is best it has been in the run game in a long time and I think we could find another RB if need be as opposed to over paying for a RB who has yet to finish a full season since his college days...if even then.

Murray easily has 3 good years left in the tank, so if it's not us, it's somebody else paying the guy.

The era of the big payday for a RB may be a thing of the past. Most teams would probably opt to use the draft rather than give a big contract to a RB. I'll bet we will keep him at a reasonable price.

 

[ABQcowboyJR]

They are all good IMO, Rb's and OL included. I'm beginning to change my tune on resigning Murray. He needs to stop fumbling though.

Let it be someone else. That's destined to be a bad contract.

 

[Nation]

Dollars to defense please. We are better off taking them compensatory pick we'll get for Murray, which fortunately our GM cannot then go and trade for a bag of magical beans.

 

[sureletsrace]

The Cowboys should offer him a reasonable contract. They absolutely should not break the bank on him.

agreed... that's what negotiating is for...... if he over values his role..... move on.

 

[erod]

Every team has a good running back. They're everywhere, and really easy to find.

Keep Murray at a reasonable price, but if someone wants to to dump big money, let them do it, not Dallas.

 

[Jenky]

"Anyone can run behind our o-line"... But can they block and catch as well as Murray? I think Randle might be able to.
