Murray is in decline

[theogt]

Thank god we didn't pay him.

I hope Philly eats the big cap hit at the end of the year and cuts Murray. Dallas can then sign him to a cheap contract along with with drafting a running back for the rushing attack in 2016.

Why would you want him back? He is proving that is was the line and not him ....... draft a good downhill back and let them shine behind this young line.

I'm hoping C-Mike is that downhill back. Hopefully we'll find out in the next few weeks.

That was 3 plays. That is the OLs fault but he looked bad even when he wasnt getting hit in the backfield. He has played with worse lines and done very well

He has been hit behind the line much more than 3 times in the last two games....you can't have 21 carries for a 11 yards without a whole lot of negative plays. Negative plays usually happen when you get hit behind the line of scrimmage

is at his " Eddie George " stage in his career. Murray's prime ended Week 12 of last year and the decline looks to be very steep and very fast.

I wouldn't be surprised if Matthew's winds up the starter sometime this season and Murray and plays 2 years of his contract.

Don't think he's done. Like Broddous said he is in the wrong system. Chip's system need the RB to start and stop and go East/West. Murray needs to go down hill and N/S.

Can't blame him for taking the money.

 

[starfrombirth]

don't know. I' sure Chip wanted Murray to make a point. He did, that he is done. LOL. I love that big contract they owe him.

Is there oline that bad or is our dline better than we thought??

What amazes me is that Chip didn't know that. It's his freaking offense.

I already said Dallas should draft someone and a young back could always benefit from a veteran back up. A veteran back up that has proven he works well in the Dallas system. I know it won't happen, but I would want Murray back in Dallas as part of the rushing attack. I wouldn't want him getting 390+ carries, but he would still be a good pick up.

I am glad he doesn't know how to use him. LOL! In Chip's offense Murray is really a goal line back. Very expensive goal line back.

We missed him in the redzone.

He got hit behind the line a whole lot if not more in 2011 and 2012 behind our horrible lines.

Not really. The Eagles just play a style that is his exact opposite. There's no reason to think Murray wouldn't have had another excellent season here. I get the hate because he's an Eagle, but let's not pretend he's a scrub. Murray is a terrific downhill back.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

Then you have to question his decision making going to Philly. He will languish in mediocrity and be mis-used until he gets cut and he will then be in sharp decline.

He wanted to win a championship remember ?

 

[links18]

Nah, Sean Lee was 8 yards in backfield the second Murray got the ball. Not his fault......

 

[DallasInDC]

He got hit behind the line a whole lot if not more in 2011 and 2012 behind our horrible lines.

I disagree

They should have kept nick foles..... He's got more rushing yards than demarrco .

 

[dallasdave]

Good one !!!!

 

[John813]

And I think he knew that, he just went with the money.

Can't blame him for that.

Gotta get paid when you can.

Also, loved seeing him getting stuffed for negative rushing attempts

 

[waving monkey]

Personally I'm lovin it and here's to all those crying for the FO to hand out that over the top contract
to Murray.

 

[xobwej]

Murray chose to get paid. I'm thrilled to see him failing.

The fact that Murray was getting hit as soon as he touched the ball shows you how important an O-line is. The rule of the league is you don't pay RBs insane money and Philly is finding out why. I think Kelly messed up in trading away McCoy. They are a fast paced offense and Murray doesn't really fit.
