DeMarco Murray vs his old O-Line

[Mr. Scot]

You know how some running backs like to give a lot of credit to their offensive line?

DeMarco Murray has other ideas right now.

For those who believe that running back DeMarco

 Murray

’s success with the Cowboys last season was largely because of their excellent offensive line, that possibility will be reason to think Murray will be less productive this season. Murray doesn’t share that opinion nor the one that says that his 2014 output should be credited to running behind a strong line anymore than the work of backs like Emmitt Smith should be discounted because of their blockers.

“I think Barry Sanders is the only one who didn’t have a great O-line. Emmitt Smith, Terrell Davis, all these guys had great lines,” Murray said, via USA Today. “It’s a little comedic to me. Every successful running back usually has a couple good offensive linemen. Those guys were great, I’ve got a lot of respect for those guys. This group here, they’ve got some Pro Bowlers and great players.”

Comedic?

Really?

Who cares what DeMarco Murray thinks.

[SpeedOFLight]

I think is is saying that he does give credit to the o-line but they wasn't the only sole reason he had a good year. I could be wrong though. He talked about some of the greats having good lines too

Agree to a point. He's also comparing himself to some pretty great running backs.

This may indeed be one of those cases where what he meant to say came out rather poorly. But either way. I suspect his old teammates probably won't appreciate it much.

I think you are reading too much into it honestly.

'Comedic' was not a good choice of words.

I get what he wants to say, but the way he said it might not be received very well.

[Darth Biscuit]

I think he's full of poo... I hate the Cowboys, and Murray may have a good year this year idk, but to say he wasn't behind a great Oline is bullshit.  They probably have the best Oline in the league.

[EightyNine]

He obviously just meant that its comedic to say he only had a good year because of his oline.  Im sure plenty of people like to question whether or not he was as good as his numbers suggested he was last year..Im sure thats why he made those comments.  Wake up people..You hate it when the media twists things about us..Your reaction to stories like this is exactly why they do it..

All honesty, I'm targeting mcfadden in fantasy football.  I hate the cowgirls, but that o-line is amazing.  On the flip side, I'm avoiding Murray like the plague, guys who are asked to run as many times as he did tend to break down the next season (Larry Johnson, Jamal Lewis, and Jamal Anderson come to mind).

Joseph Randle is the Cowboys running you really want.

​he needs to stay healthy first. if he does, he could have a big year.

​It's comedic that people here are actually even taking this bait smh.  I read it and got highly annoyed at the misleading headline.
