“It helped a lot, obviously with the stamina aspect just building a good armor for your body so you can take some hits and take the pounding of a long season,” Murray said. “He's done it for a long time and he's someone who has had a lot of success in this league and he knows what to do to take care of your body in season and out of season.”


Witten sported a knowing smile Friday when asked about his workout sessions with Murray. To hear it from the Pro Bowl tight end, the Cowboys’ transformation into a dominant run team is something you could see coming in the spring and summer months.


“I invited him to come work out with me and kind of be a partner. I knew it was good for me to be with a young guy that can push you,” Witten said. “Obviously he’s physically talented. I had kind of known that was the way our team was going and what we were trying to mold ourselves into.”

The younger of the duo certainly did push the older. Witten said he’d often come into the Cowboys’ facility feeling sore from workouts, only to see Murray feeling fine.

Love to read stuff like this. This shows how close these guys are.

Players are close
Players play with full effort
Coaches are game planning well
Players are executing


These things will carry us far without the worry of complacency setting in.

I loved T.O but when he was here he had his little clique of followers, which was good in theory but bad in execution. Really divided parts of the team up arguably. It looks like the entire team is now 1 clique, and everyone plays for everyone else. It is awesome to see players not only try and improve themselves, but improve others around them. That is the difference between a "player" and a man looking for his paycheck.

Offseason Training With Witten Prepped Murray For Big Workload

IRVING, Texas – Standing roughly 15 feet away from the NFL’s leading rusher, Jason Wittenseemed pretty prescient in choosing his workout partner for the offseason.

DeMarco Murray continues to rack up carries – an average of 27 per game – on the way to an absurd output, as he’s on track for more than 400 carries and 2,000 yards. It’s fitting, then, that he chose a 12-year veteran at the physical tight end position to train with during the buildup to this season.

It helped a lot, obviously with the stamina aspect just building a good armor for your body so you can take some hits and take the pounding of a long season,” Murray said. “He's done it for a long time and he's someone who has had a lot of success in this league and he knows what to do to take care of your body in season and out of season.”

Good stuff. Dedication and sacrifice. Still hope to see Dunbar and Randle steal 10-15 carries per game.
