Murray inactive

[FLCowboyFan]

Interesting the only season that he made it a full year was when he was playing for a new contract

thats not good for us imo, i feel like Matthews is a better fit for the Eagles

doesnt matter if you get tackled in the backfield.

 

[Proximo]

Jeez how will they ever replace all of that production????

I just don't believe a tweaked hammy is correlated to carries from a year ago.
These injuries happen to many players regardless of their previous workload.

Is or isn't... we will never know.

What we do know though is that going back to college, he has had numerous nicks and pulls that have kept him out of a significant number of games. And we know that last year was the first season that he ever played when he didn't miss significant time.

Ask Bradford to take the snap and fall forward? That should net them about two yards. If he takes one step forward before falling he can gain 3 yards. That will be 50% more!

I don't think it matters.

shouldn't this be in the NFL Zone. That trash doesn't deserve to be in this forum anymore.

Well...when Matthews looks decent today...it is going to stir more controversy in Philly...lol

He figured his smoothies would help...

Snake oil salesman.

The hamstring tweak is just the excuse. They are happy to have him inactive because he isn't getting it done. He doesn't fit and Chip now knows it.

The Eagles can't fly !!!!

And yet they happen FAR more often to guys who've had that many touches. The body breaks down, and they miss considerable time the following year, or are hampered by injuries and perform poorly. Or maybe he and just about everyone else with that many touches is just unlucky.

Snake oil salesman.

That's the first time I've heard that comparison.

Kinda fits.

I think I had a bet with somebody here on which player would be out with injury first, Murray or McFadden. I win but unfortunately I can't remember who the best was with.

It's going to be a long season for him. Maybe the Eagles will cut him after this year and we can bring him back for the vet minimum, since he'll be bringing all that guaranteed Philly money with him.

Why would you cut a guy if you had guaranteed money invested in him?

McCoy was the better fit. Currently, Sproles is the best RB they have for the scheme.

 

[Sportsbabe]

He was inactive last week too.

Didn't you hear? Chip said the day of the bell cow back is over...so why did the Genius pay him a Gazillion Million. When average intelligence will do.

Business decission!

An infographic of my seemingly bold preseason prediction that McFadden would outrush Murray:

The top one is McFadden, you can tell because at least he's out of his shell.

Leaving Philly fans scratching their heads..... He's been active?
