Week 2 Gameday Chatter Thread | Cowboys at Eagles | 9/20/2015

"Is there a return policy on Sam Bradford?"

 

[boozeman]

Yes I did. You saw Murray in this game. Dallas simply shut him down. It's not hard to contain a runner like him when he has to run to the line to get the ball.

The Eagles line played awful. Not making excuses for Murray but he just had no room.

 

[L.T. Fan]

You really have no self awareness.

At my age it isn't really necessary.

Chip Kelly coming up on 94.1 WIP in Philafelphia.

That's correct but if I said it it would be perceived as making excuses.

 

[Smitty]

Halfway to Hardy and McClain!

 

[Smitty]

Interesting to see whether they are gonna say this is more like a 6 week injury or more like a 12 week injury.

Romo? He might be done for the year.

 

[boozeman]

Bad thing is that this forces the Cowboys hand with the IR designated to return. It should be Romo as his injury has more of a set timetable. It also means we have to carry Bryant regardless.

 

[boozeman]

"I wish Buddy Ryan was our defensive coordinator right now so he could punch Chip Kelly in the face."

I bet Philly talk radio is hilarious right now.

 

[L.T. Fan]

Romo? He might be done for the year.

A sports medicine surgeon on NFLN who has done many of these procedures says 8 weeks is the norm if surgery is done right away in order to start rehab right away.

 

[Smitty]

Romo? He might be done for the year.

I don't think it will be that long. The question is whether we will still be above water.

 

[dallen]

I am still 'ing at the fact that Murray's biggest play was getting a 15 yard penalty called on our kicker

 

[dallen]

BOOM!

Not sure why the Eagles would tweet that. All that tells me is that they have similar numbers except Randle has less mileage and a higher TD/attempt ratio...

 

[dallen]

Counting Romo, we're missing 7: Romo, Dez, Leary, Gregory, McClain, Scandrick, and Hardy.

That's a hell of a list. I wouldn't have been surprised if any one of them made the Pro Bowl

I assume it is the difference between a hairline fracture and a compound fracture

Is he going to need surgery on it? Because the severity basically determines the time table on this thing.

 

[Deuce]

Mike and Mike just said Murray has less rushing yards through 2 weeks than any other defending rush champion since 1936.

I really don't know. The surgeon was relating that those who have surgery has a faster rehab time.

Doug Russell had a tough '36 season.

1935 Doug Russell 140 att... 499 yards
1936 Doug Russell 3 att.... 11 yards
