He's got a great attitude. He doesn't care if he's the starter, the backup, or the third string guy. That's the way to approach it.

Murray's going to be a special player for us. Let's see what happens when Felix is healthy. Felix should be worried about losing his starting job after that performance.

I don't know, i think Felix would have had a big game as well. It didn't seem like Murray had to avoid tacklers left and right, he had alot of open space. If the line blocked like that for Felix, i have to belive he'd do just as well. His problem is he always has to fight off 2 or 3 would be tacklers before he even hits the LOS. Murray has had that same problem in past games and those two have both shown to be very good at making the first couple guys miss and getting something out of nothing.

I do love Murray's attitude though, he's certainly saying all the right things so far. I wish every player on our team would go about their business the way he seems to be doing it.

He's gonna be good. He's got good speed and vision. He doesn't strike me as being a flash in the pan like Julius Jones and Felix Jones have done.

I agree. The Oline did a great job, but man, Murray just hit those holes so quick and showed great speed burst then the spin move on the one play was pretty sweet.

We'll see if Murray can have another good game when we play a team like Philly. That'll be a good test for him. I think Holland shut up a lot of doubters in that game. Hopefully he keeps it up.

Yeah. I don't think he's a flash in the pan either. My problem with Felix is can he stay healthy? So far he's proven he can't. All those weights he lifted and he's still injured. lol

Definitely. Like he said, i think that OL training he went to did him alot of good.. Holland that is.

Im very excited to see more of Murray and Tanner against the Eagirls.. Bruce Carter as well. Hope we feed them a heavy dose of Dez all game long in the passing game. I can't wait to see him beast some of their "superstar" CB's ha.

I think we'll hit'em up with the short passing game and a dose of the running game with Murray and Tanner. The Eagles LBs are hideous.

Jones can't be counted on and he's good for one or two runs a game. He's not good. I'm sorry.

I was shocked when during the highlights the anchor on ESPN said Murray doesnt have Felix's speed . That looks like the biggest separation between the two so far. Murray makes a cut and hes gone.

I don't know about straight line speed, but Felix does seem to have more wiggle than Murray, more agility. Felix could outrun most DB's in this league im sure if he broke free, the difference is our backs don't have grand canyon size holes to run through like they did this game.
