More Murray runs, More Cowboys win

[Bleu Star]

IRVING, Texas -- It's time to stop the hysteria regarding how many times DeMarco Murray is carrying the ball this season.

He's on pace to carry the ball a league-record 424 times, which is driving some folks crazy.

They're worried he'll get hurt and be unavailable at some point this season. They're concerned he'll wear down and be ineffective at the end of season. And they're afraid he won't be productive in the future.

Get over it.

Murray is earning $1.4 million this season to carry the football as many times as the Dallas Cowboys choose to give it to him.

Garrett quotes from the article:

"The biggest thing is we want to continue to run the ball well," Garrett said. "At the same time, we want to give the other guys some opportunities.

"That's good for the individual guys and getting Joseph [Randle] and Lance [Dunbar] chances, because they've done well. And it keeps DeMarco more fresh over the course of a game and the season, but he's going to carry the ball a lot."

"If you saw on the touchdown run at the end of the game -- an amazing piece of footage we showed our team -- did you see DeMarco do this flip as the offensive linemen were coming toward him,"

"I think that was carry 26, and he'd caught six passes already, and the kind of energy he still had is a tribute to him."
