Should i keep demarco murray

Any running back in the game would love to line up behind those big guys up front, and any running back in the league would become instantly better behind that line. Not great, but better than they would be behind a lesser line. Murray took a beating in with more than carries. The days of the workhorse back are long gone. I firmly believe that the only reason we got away with that last year is because of that line, Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, and Jason Witten.

And throw in Cole Beasley for good measure. There are many who doubt the guy falls to 27 in the draft, but there is an outside chance they can pick up Todd Gurley as well. But even 2nd round talent would suffice not excel behind that line. In truth, nobody is saying the Cowboys will have the same league leading rushing attack in without Murray. There are no guarantees in football. At this point about noon on March 12th , the Dallas Cowboys need to secure a running back to replace DeMarco Murray and address many holes on the defense.

New Jerry is steadfast and farsighted, more Warren Buffett than P. He tinkered with it but retained his promising young coach. After paying it lip service for three years, Dallas fully committed to the run in The results were dazzling.

The Cowboys rushed for With room and time to operate, as defenses crowded the box to stop the run, Romo turned in arguably the finest season of his year career.

He will now test the market—not an encouraging sign for Dallas. Murray put up great numbers last season. And will Dallas pay him accordingly? His absence could wound this club more deeply than it realizes. Listed at 6 feet, pounds, Murray looked 10 pounds lighter by the end of And more tenacious. You thought he made four [yards], but he made six. You thought he made six, but he made a first down. One day after he broke a metacarpal in his left non-dominant hand during a mid-December win over the Eagles , he underwent surgery: Doctors implanted a plate and eight screws.

They can cover my hand. I can deal with the pain. Two days after surgery he practiced. Can they still be an excellent running football team without Murray? That 80 percent line from the RB position would look something like this: 1, yards and 10 touchdowns. Ask yourself if the Cowboys would be more dangerous with Murray, or with 80 percent of Murray and a deeper, more talented defense? The Cowboys sacrificed a lot during the three years it took to get their cap in order.
