Clay did I say anything about stopping? Are you just trying to bait?So you want to give Murray a huge deal, then game plan to stop running the football?
feh. murray is a fumbler
How else are we going to reduce Murray's carries by changing the overall game plan. Sounds to me like returning to a pass-first offense and going .500 until Romo gets hurt then losing out.Clay did I say anything about stopping? Are you just trying to bait?
We need multiple quality running backs, however we can get them.How else are we going to reduce Murray's carries by changing the overall game plan. Sounds to me like returning to a pass-first offense and going .500 until Romo gets hurt then losing out.
How many though? If we bring back Murray I am good with what we have. The 4 we have now have proven they can be more than good enough. Now if we lose Murray then we can look at multiple additions, but if we replace Murray with Peterson then I would be fine with him, Randle, Dunbar, and Williams.We need multiple quality running backs, however we can get them.
Agree, he did very well at Houston in the Kubiak/Shanahan pure zone system. Pollack and he might even have been together there for a year, don't remember.I think Ben Tate is a guy who would excel here...Clev was a bad fit for him.
I just think we got lucky in 2014 and there's no way Murray can repeat that performance. He needs fewer carries and we can't afford a major dropoff in talent when Murray isn't carrying the football.How many though? If we bring back Murray I am good with what we have.

I think you might be underrating Williams potential though. We all agreed that Williams looked far better than Randle carrying the ball in preseason and I could really see him handling 150 carries behind Murray or AP or whomever was our #1 option or split carries with a draft pick or a second tier guy like Ray Rice or Ben Tate. Randle can handle another 50 carries and be the ST guy. We can either cut Dunbar or let him have a shot replacing Harris as the return guy.I just think we got lucky in 2014 and there's no way Murray can repeat that performance.

I believe Randle and Dunbar are a major dropoff, unfortunately, and I think the coaches agreed enough to not give them many carries outside of the blowout Washington win.
I wouldn't mind that, and in fact, I actually wanted to bring him here this past offseason.I think Ben Tate is a guy who would excel here...Clev was a bad fit for him.
Speaking of which, it is strange that Murray didn't break many long runs this year.The thing about Ingram is that he very rarely busts a big run. Something like a 30 yarder is his career long. Gore is not a HR hitter anymore, but he still rips off a few a year.
True, but AP is the Dez Bryant of his position and you can accept the fumbles to a degree for a guy like that.The fumbles per season are not that far off.
So they can't wait and see?What if Petersen doesn't get reinsrated or only gets partially reinstated? Do you want to wait to find out? The trial date hasn't been determined yet even though it has been requested to not be past April 15. I guess you could line up a strategy for the draft as a contingency but if Jones wants Murray and has until June to find out. The draft strategy to replace him will be gone already. At this time i don't see how Dallas can wait that long to make a determination about Murray.
Only up to a point.So they can't wait and see?
