Murray has an MCL sprain

[Idgit]

Blitz pick up is where Murray's loss hurts us most.

Fortunately, Dunbar's pretty good in protection, for his size. I'd like to see him on the field. And flexed out into our empty-set some, too. Tanner's not a bad blocker, either. I was holding my breath with Randle out there, but he did an ok job when he needed to, too. I like our RBs to fill in for a game or two this season. Maybe not for the long-term, but it's a pretty good group right now.

Does Turner have anything left?

His gas tank has been dry for a while.

His gas tank has been dry for a while.

Isn't that what they thought about Sammy Morris too when we brought him in?

This is bad.

it would be bad if we ran a lot...but we dont, so its not a huge deal

Sooo. .. you're saying 2 months then?

 

[starfrombirth]

I dont want to sound insulting but it is Demaco Murray....they guy has been injured every year of his entire NFL career....nothing new..... and nothing to be unexpected....there is a reason they drafted Randle.....now lets see what the guy's got....bottom line the Coaches have to give Randle the opportunity to shine.

I agree.. this is exactly why we drafted him.

Bingo. Drafted the guy to be DM's insurance policy. Cash it in now. Week 7. get ready Rook. Its your rock now.

 

[DeaconMoss]

You never know. NFL = Not For Long. One guy's misfortune is a new guy's opportunity.

We might look back on this and say Demarco who? I can't believe we had Randle on the bench.

If this is a grade 1 sprain he could play next week. Lets just wait for the mri and see if he practices before making a trade lol

 

[Falcon554]

You guys who are so ready to move on from DeMarco are seriously devaluing him. When healthy, he's a top 10 NFL running back, and I'd argue the best all around RB we've had since Emmitt. We don't even know how long he'll be out yet. Our offense is night and day when we have him, so let's not act like he's so easily replaceable. Yes, his multiple injuries really are unfortunate, but let's at least see what the MRI reveals before we sail on, mmkay?

dude why do you think they drafted Randle? The team knew this was going to happen, Murray won't be here next year

This will provide some valuable experience for Randle and maybe we can get Dunbar going.

Randle & Tanner 12 carries combined for 19 yards, less than 2 yards per carry.

Hopefully it's just a grade 1 sprain.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Hes going to miss at least 4 games id say. Time for the other 3 to step up.

 

[JBell]

Trade for MJD?

No thx.

Brb Green light to throw 60 times a game now

Hope Tony's icing that right arm so he's ready to sling it every rip next Sunday

I'm guessing DM doesn't get any big contract offers this off season.

Context?

Tanner had 1 carry -- it was a 3rd-and-1, and he picked up the first down.

Of Randle's 11 carries, 2 were goalline runs (he got the TD) and 7 were running out the clock with a 2-touchdown lead and under 5:00 to play, against a defense stacking the line of scrimmage and keying solely on the run (he got one first down and we got the win).

This is true but im worried like others can he pick up the blitz imagine whats going trough Romo ribs mind right now. The team should know by now if he can handle it if they are not 100% sure he can get it done they better look at other option fast we cant loose TR now if we do this ship is gonna sink for this season.

There's talk about trading for MJD. Right now, it's Randle, Tanner and Dunbar (whenever he gets back). The question isn't can those guys run because I think getting them snaps will help them.

BUT, can they protect Tony Romo? MJD is good in pass protection. You wouldn't be getting MJD for his running, though that would help if Murray is out a while, but he can help Romo with pass protection. I think that's the thing that should be weighed. I have faith that the RBs we have can run the ball...it's about keeping Romo upright.

Slightly screwed by those last 3 handoffs to Randle that went nowhere and were just to kill the clock but yeah neither looks that good to me.
