They really are taking this "anybody can run behind this line" theory to the extreme now.

We might have the worst RB core in the league

Bull****. I can think of Randle coming off LT and carrying the LB and nickel downfield with his leg drive and other instances. He also had the ability to shakepeople in the hole which Murray cannot do.

I'm not saying that Murray had no power but he is not a 'power runner.' He was not carrying piles. He was running through arm tackles, throwing a fabulous stiff arm and dealing with S and LB because our OL kept DL off him. If you want to see a top 'power runner' look up video of Lynch or Gurley.

Murray was one of the most physical runners in the league. Ask Richard Sherman. I understand you like to argue , but you clearly have no clue. Murray had plenty of faults, one of them was looking for contact instead of a running lane. Please stop , just stop.

Why is the onus on me to look up what Sherman said? Your claim your burden of proof. wtg lazy.

That he was dealing with S and the occasional LB as opposed to DL.

And Marshawn Lynch running over the defense mostly consist of 300 lbs tackles and linebackers weighing 240 lbs or more. No that was not Lynch running over Mo Claiborne. That was Josh Brent!

How many folks believe Murray will rush for more yards with the Eagles than our starting RB behind our O-line? None of us know for sure who that RB will be just yet but the more important part of that is running behind our O-line. Any takers?

Why don't we just bring in Knowshon Moreno? He's still available and was pretty decent prior to his injury. I can't imagin anyone is offering him much if he lasted this long in FA. Also, I can't see any FA RB not wanting to sign with the Cowboys to compete for a job and get the chance to run behind the best line in the league.

No, you made the claim and I called you on it. Your opinion fits whatever situation that puts you in a position to agree with every team decisions . Murray not being a physical RB goes against common knowledge. Provide your proof before making some off-the -wall comment. You think your opinions are above question , but that don't mean they are a correct assessment of the situation. Now, start your victim routine ........

I'll take that bet, assuming we're talking about the RB's currently on our roster. Murray will get at least 1000. Nobody on our roster will.

It's not a trick, of course I'm only talking about RBs currently on the Cowboys roster. But if we get AP the bet is null because he will take away carries from the other Cowboy running backs. Murray will revert back to the same RB he always has been. He's probably going to get injured and miss a few games. So you got a bet if we can agree on the steaks.

Cheering on an Eagle running game and being rewarded for it just sounds wrong but hey... out rushing the Cowboys starting RB by Murray deserves a Murray Eagles Jersey, agreed? I'll take a Jersey from the Cowboys leading rusher if he out rushes Murray. I wear a XXX size jersey.

He's got a little Alfred Morris in him. Not bad. He's def a FB though.

You called me on it by making a different claim. This should not be hard.

And victim? While you certainly are desperate to take me down a peg your flailings are pathetic and obvious. You certainly do have an axe to grind.

It's pretty routine around here that your cabal come after the local optimists. Unfortunately for mouthbreathers threatened by multisyllables, I'm just as militant.
