I'm gonna take a WAG and say that Murray gets the "Rookie of the Week"

...going way out on a limb there are you not?:D
 
Who's mad that we took Murray in the 4th round now? There were tons of angry people on draft day.
 
He's now in very good company.

I hope we hit the jackpot with Murray.

Murray - starter
Jones - change of pace
Tanner - short yardage

We could finally have a running game. And they're all young.

Actually, I don't think anyone was upset about us taking Murray in the 4th round.

Wasn't upset, but I did scratch my head at the pick..

He was drafted in round 3... but I agree, he made those angry fans look foolish for at least one weekend.

I think he was being sarcastic, Murray was chosen in the 3rd round.

Once again Mama, you're killing me with your signature. I'm trying to keep my mind pure. ;)

Except we drafted him in the 3rd round.

We picked Arkin in the fourth round.

I know there was a bit of a furor because everyone wanted us to go OL here. However, the FO explained that he was a perfect fit for our offense and they said they had a first round grade on him.

Thus the FO claimed they ended up with three players they had graded in the first round - Smith, Carter and Murray. This comes on the heels of the 2010 draft where we claimed to come away with two players we had first round grades on in Dez and Sean Lee.

Given how the first 4 of those 5 have been playing so far, maybe the FO was right on how they graded them out.

I'm real interested in seeing how Carter plays when he comes back. He is the sort of coverage ILB that every team needs now with all of the receiving TEs and RBs out there and all of the short passes thrown against zone defenses. I know some say Carter will only play STs this year but I really hope he gets onto the field in the nickel defense because he can be a real difference maker against NFC teams like Philly (Vick and McCoy), Det (Pettigrew), SF (Vernon Davis) and GB (Finley).

I didn't mind the pick so much bit I did think there was a mistake made in not addressing the OL earlier. I could have understood the moves if we were going to keep Gurode and bring in another vet OG. You usually aren't going to draft an OL who can start in his first year outside of the first two rounds and we needed a starter.
 
Thanks for posting these highlights.

What I love about this break out game? Teams have to gameplan for Murray. That will open up the play book for Romo. Play action, screens, draws - they have to account for all of that. Next thing you know Austin or Dez get one on one coverage due to them putting 7 or 8 in the box to stop the run. And that's not to mention Romo's security blanket or new 3rd option weapon (Witten and Robinson). I mean, who do they double?

This is a great game to build upon. All of those games they lost, they held a 4th qtr lead and lost. This game they got a lead, then dropped the hammer. This is the progress I was hoping to see.
 
1:49 mark

1991 against Commanders .................knew we had something going there...i'm getting the same feeling.
