I think the thinking on both sides is right and wrong. Murray is not on his downside but needs a very specific offense for him to be effective. He needs north/south running routes. He needs to have a significant running start meaning he does not accelerate very well and he's not a dodger/slasher, he's a punisher. He also catches well out of the back field which is where I thought he would excel with Phili. DC had the perfect game plan, while their guards and tackles pulled, we shot the gaps and not give Murray any room to start. By the time he took the handoff, lanes were sealed off and Sean Lee and CO were wrapping him up.
Lastly, without a passing game, and good line blocking, he was a sitting duck. Personally I think Murray is good but it's the system that makes him much better and he's in the wrong system for sure. If he came back to DC he would be good but not like last year given our circumstances. Our Oline's timing is out of sync and passing game is struggling because of injuries. Some RB's can fit in a lot of systems, Murray can fit in some like...Dallas, Pitts, Wash to think of a few. He's not done, just need the right system.
