Murray has no vision and he is costing us. There were sveral runs where he lowers head into the pile when a cut would result in big yardage.

He isnt the answer. Runs to darkness.

have to agree. Murray has been very disappointing to me. Little to no wiggle with him. He must think he's the second coming of Earl Campbell. Clearly he isn't.

i seen it also. Its like he just closes his eyes and lower his head. I seen a couple lanes open that could of been big yards if he just had vision. Murray has turned into a fullback. Just lower his shoulder.

There was a play late in the 3rd quarter where the whole left side was sealed off and he ran the opposite direction. I'm ready for someone else. But you know he won't get benched. The only way is if he gets hurt.

Knowing his history, that should be soon

Same story last 6 years, someone convinces the RBs to put their head down and get that 1 yard. Too much wiggle in the back field is bad but taking those 1-2 yards all the time doesn't scare any defenses

Skip Peete says hello. Not the same runner since his rookie year

He had a perfect crease to run through on the right side today and he was to slow getting through the whole

I saw 2 or 3 runs today where he has a HUGE hole but didn't see it and ran right into the OL.

His running skills are decent, but he does have horrible vision.

It didn't take long for Murray to join the ranks of Julius Jones, Marion Barber and Felix Jones as a whipping boy for the fan base. Murray might not be Emmitt Smith, but this team has no commitment to the running game anyway.

Whipping boy has nothing to do with it. He's an average RB with below average vision. Not saying he's great is not the same thing as calling him being the "whipping boy".

DO NOT sign Murray to a long term deal!

Focus on the OL, DL and DB.

Runners, aside from AP are a dime a dozen.

We are going to get multiple "Murray Sucks" threads after every loss. Heck, we even had them last week after a win. If he is so bad, get the other backs some carries. Right now Tanner and Dunbar have two fumbles on a combined four touches.

You also have to hope that Jerry won't throw a contract extension at him.

Murray runs to contact. For some reason he seems to love trying to hit people when he should try to avoid them. I don't think it's vision as much as it appears to be a decision to try and hit someone else.

Murry has no vision what so ever, and that is an extremely important facet for a RB. At least Dunbar has shown the ability to make sharp cuts with his head up and looking down the field. And his fumble today was VERY close. It was worth a shot to challenge it. Hell, let's even see if Randle can Handle (pun intended) some touches. I'm not sure Murray is the answer, even if we had better run blocking, which I admit was pretty damn atrocious today.
