Nas Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 dammit .......thought Murray was leaving the East .......now he is going to be in green ......i will hate him even more ! I don't think Murray is anything special. That Dallas OLine was. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I saw some graphic the other day, wish I could find it now, but it showed past leaders in carries, and how they did afterwards. The overall theme was that they did not do well after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 2013 leader in carries was LeSean Mccoy, he fell off a bit this past season. 2012 leader in carries was Arian Foster, the next year only 500yds. 2011 Jones-Drew, he fell off the face of the earth. 2010 it was Michael Turner, haven't heard much from him since. 2009 it was Chris Johnson, right. 2008 it was Michael Turner so he ended up having another good season at least. 2007 was Clinton Portis he had one more good year and then broke. 2006 Larry Johnson, remember him? 2005 Shaun Alexander great year, but fell right off.

Allstarjim Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The Dallas line was/is special, but so is Murray. And I read that PFF gave last year's Philly Oline the second highest grade in the NFL behind Dallas. Murray made I believe, the most yards after contact in the NFL last year. He is a great RB, it's not really debatable when the facts are laid out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 About 390 carries seems to do most runningbacks in. Its just too much strain on the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, at least in McCoy's example, Kelly seemed to have a plan to limit him and justify sending him packing. For no reason he lost goalline carries. He split carries with Sproles and lost pretty much all of the third down passing downs to him, too. And McCoy can do all of that, he's an every down back. There was no justification in letting Chris Polk take all of the goalline totes at the end of the season other than to limit Shady's value to the team. I'd argue that, at the very least, his touchdown total was, by design, limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall so I'll take your word about the goalline carries thing, but McCoy was still 2nd in the league in carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a majority of the touches between the 20s, I'd wager...red zone went to Sproles, goalline went to Polk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 He's right about the end of the season. McCoy fantasy owners know lol Yeah one thing about fantasy is that it makes you aware of certain players you otherwise wouldn't know much about. I, for example, know that Belichick would just decide week to week who got touches at rb. If he wasn't super secret guy Vereen would have been even more impressive.

Herc Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think it's smart to sell high on a rb who I think has peaked but signing demarco kinda negates that. I thought the Mathews deal was really nice value and that he'd do great there if he stayed healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have been curious about what Murray will do next year. The big thing is number of touches, and carries specifically. When you hand the ball off to a runningback that much, like LJ geting 400 carries or whatever it was, they tend to breakdown really quick. The reason we see so many split carries and not a feature back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BronxRik Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So now it's Murray, Matthews, and Sproles in the Egal's backfield. Add Sam Bradford to their free agency mix and you have to figure they're gathering trade bait for a massive move up the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm guessing they did all that to get rid of McCoys cap hit and to land that young LB out of Buffalo. well they brought in another top running back who will be have a similar cap hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl 1010 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Heard on the radio this morning about having Sam Bradford and how that may encourage Murray given they were college roommates or something. Then there was mention about having Bradford as trade bait AFTER Murray signs. If that happens, and I'm Murray...pissed wouldn't even begin to describe how I'd feel. Promise me my college roommate to get me to sign and then send him packing... As a Giants fan, I would love to see that happen. That's exactly what I was/am hoping for!
