Murray Breaks 100-yard Barrier Versus Seattle Defense?

[EST_1986]

I think Murray only will get 67 yards.

in the first half?

And on the other side of the coin, the Seahawks have faced the following rush offenses:

Green Bay #25 – W
@ San Diego #27 – L
Denver #29 – W
@ Washington #21 – W

The Cowboys have best rushing offense in the league.

Did you back the Seattle games out of these rankings? If not, Seattle's own success at stopping them may be skewing the rankings.

Of course, backing out Seattle means the teams that have faced them will have had one fewer game to compile rushing yards. I trust your rankings are on a per carry basis so that this is not an issue?

It would not be my focus to get Murray 100 yards although that would be a good result. Seattle from my experience really loads up on the run particularly on first down, gets you into 3rd down situations and attacks the quarterback (importantly with great coverage behind). Then teams get behind, abandon the run and Seattle really squeezes you.

I would try to throw the ball early to loosen them up. Not necessarily down the field, just to stay ahead of the chains while taking a few shots here and there. To win this game, I think we need to pass the ball effectively on 1st and 2nd downs. As the game went along, I would keep trying to come back to the run, because I think eventually you can get some movement there.

No he had 22 carries for 118 yards and 1 TD

Your right, i stand corrected

Of course he do. Like Dez say, we the best in the NFL.

A big factor in Murray's 100-plus yardage is the Hawks keys on Williams and Witten and Dez.

Then BAM! OOOF! Murray runs for 129 yards. Take this to the bank. Take this to the casino and then take yo babe to dinner and half enough for dessert.

Go Murray!

The odds are definitely against it, but I wouldn't completely rule it out. Murray might get 20 carries for 60 yards then break one......hopefully.

If it happens,mix was thinking that.

Seattle's rushing defense is number one in the league, holding opponents to less than 63 rushing yards per game. During their first four games, the Seahawks have held Eddie Lacy (34 yards on 12 carries), Ryan Mathews (31 yards on 11 carries), Montee Ball (38 yards on 14 carries) and Alfred Morris (29 yards on 13 carries) to 2.8 yards a carry or less. Can DeMarco Murray break the century mark in rushing yards versus Seattle and become the NFL's first running back in history to rush for more than 100 yards in the first six games of a season--surpassing Jim Brown and O.J. Simpson?

That is a bit absurd re the poll using < and >. Manny here half not mastered the maths discipline or simbols.
Why cant you use plain American language in the poll, huh?

Dallas is going to have to throw early to losing things up in the run game. No back has rushed for more than 38 yards against these guys. They play their corners in man all the time and push the safeties up in the box.

Dallas has the receivers to do this, so it's on Romo to loosen them up. Get Earl Thomas backed off, then Murray becomes a factor.

I think Lance Dunbar will play a key role. Watch for Escobar, too.

I agree. Dallas may come out trying to run right out of the gates but either way they have to throw the ball to get Seattle to back off the line.

I could have. In fact, I could have substituted GimmeTheBall language instead. On second thought, that would have been more confusing than math symbols.

Can't compare Seattle defense home vs away.
If you want a gauge of how Murray will most likely--but not for sure--do, you need to look at visiting RBs over the last could of years. Specifcally, the top RBs (as they tend to be way more up for them.

Here's some samples that are very normal

Gore--18 yards
MJD --43 yards
CJ --22 yards
Peterson--65 yards
Gore--28 yards
Ingram--22 yards
Lacy--34 yards
Ball--38 yards

Murray actually did relatively well two years ago with his 44 yards.

I appreciate that, Clark.
