now here is a thing to think about, in first 2 games, if cowboys had kept murray , both the giants and eagles would have to game plan to stop Murray.
leading rusher last year, and they would respect or fear him having a big game so wuld load the box which opens it up for romo and passing game.

Now we will start dmc or randle or Williams, so will they respect/fear those guys? will they load the box? I think not, they will be more concerned
with romo dez and passing game, and try to stop the run with as few guys as possible.
So at least early on till a Dallas runner proves he is a threat, teams will focus more on pass coverage and getting to romo.
It is a psychological thing, with Murray we had a edge, and now they don't have that.
Same thing with dez he is a psychological edge whether he plays good or not.
Romo also gives them a psychological edge.
So they lost not only a good RB but one of their key psychological edges, and I think that is a bigger loss than Murray and how good he might run.

NOw one of the other backs will have to build another "psychological edge", and I dont think run by committee will give the same psychological edge.

When our OL starts road grading guys and we pound the rock down their throats I don't think there will be much psychology involved. We aren't suddenly going to become a passing team.

When our backs start busting 40+ yards to the house it will be a new edge..
