Recap courtesy of the Romper Room....


More excited then I ever been in my life to be picked by them...dream come true

So pumped and blessed when he got the call

Not surprised they picked him...he had a great visit and they said they told him they were looking for a RB

Earlier in his career he didn't take care of his body well...as he matured he began yoga MMA training to strengthen his core

They said they were going to use him at Wr and special teams as well as RB

Said he will not let the cowboys or switzers vote of confidence down

Going back to get his things and then come back to start training with M.Johnson

This is encouraging. I'm hoping this helps, because while he has only missed four games, his injury history is pretty long already.

I've been waiting for us to do this with Felix Jones since we got him. I guess I'll believe it when I see it.

I think the difference is that Murray is much more prepared to be part of the passing game at the pro-level than what Felix was.

Murray had 4x the amount of receptions in college. Plus from all indications he came out of college as the better blocker, which should give him a head-start getting on the field in passing situations.

Felix lost much of his rookie season due to injury, which further set him back. By the time he did get some significant playing time, he was being used at the #1 back and not a 3rd down specialist.

I think Felix is the superior runner. But at the same points in their careers, Murray seems much more capable of being not just a 3rd down back, but a good 3rd down back.

Good call, earlier in his career, the reason Felix wasn't taking more snaps away from Barber was because he sucked as a pass-blocker and even right now, he's slightly above average in that department. At best.
