He's faster than I thought he was.

All Pro.

Take a seat, Felix.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

You simply can not hate this pick, unless you think Felix's 800 yards rushing is great.

 

[sbk92]

Felix ran for over 4 yards a carry behind one of the worst lines in the league.

I can like the Murray pick without taking a shot at Felix.

 

[Cr122]

I'm happy that we have both, actually.

Maybe Murray pushes Felix a bit this year.

Plus, with an improved line who knows they both might have good years.

I'm not taking a shot at Felix, but we aren't exactly set at RB.

Murray would be fortunate to gain 800 yds running behind that line last yr too...anybody would

 

[Midswat]

Meh.

I can't wait to see Demarco "Porcelain" Murray in our offense.

Right. Only Felix could do it.

 

[dbair1967]

Right. Only Felix could do it.

I didnt say that. I said any players would be firtunate to do that. Certainly some could, but the OL blocking was so mediocre to bad that those people would be few and far between.

On the other hand, put Felix Jones behind an OL like Tennessee's, and I think the difference in his career so far would be quite different. Assuming he were healthy.

 

[sbk92]

He picked Tennessee as a way to discredit the superior Chris Johnson. In defense of his beloved Cowboys' pick of Felix Jones.

Yeah it had nothing to do with the fact that when I think of teams with good OL play, they come to mind real quick.

They have a quality line. I wouldn't say it's the best in the league to the tune where they can make a back's career.

Johnson puts up the numbers he does because he's better. If he was here, would he put up the same numbers? No. Would he put up better numbers than Felix Jones? Yes.

It will be nice to know we have speed in the backfield no matter who touches b/c you know even if Choice stays, he will be on the bench.

I was thinking the same thing.

At the absolute minimum, Murray will ensure the Cowboys always field a RB capable of taking it the distance at any point on the field. And they'll always have an outstanding pass catcher back there.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

They'll at least have a good blocker back there on 3rd downs who isn't completely useless.
