Murray has broken hand, surgery today, not yet ruled out Sunday

[ThoughtExperiment]

Per Steve on his radio show today.

Saw this earlier in another thread. Interesting to see how this develops.

 

[bbgun]

how far is he behind Emmitt's record?

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Its his left hand. He finished the game with it so it shouldnt be a huge issue.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Stretch Smith says carrying the ball isn't the problem, it's pass protection. Doesn't think we'll put him out there this week.

But in my uninformed opinion, I bet we do. He wants his yards, as we've seen on the sidelines.

No great loss there anyway, he never was much good at blocking.

He's at 1687,Emmitt went 1773,so 86.

Huh?

 

[Doomsday]

Murray's never been much of a blocker. You kidding? He's certainly no Emmitt in that regard.

dude...he's one of the best blitz pickup guys in the league...

 

[Sheik]

Murray is excellent in pass protection.

Wtf are you talking about?

 

[Rock Slamdance]

Disagree, Murray has been a very good pass protector throughout his career.

 

[Doomsday]

You guys watching the same guy I am?

 

[dbair1967]

You guys watching the same guy I am?

apparently not

[Doomsday]

I've seen many, many missed blocks getting Tony in trouble. Not sure what you guys are watching.


This is just like alot of other things I've said, that you guys shit on then later, notice yourselves.

Because I made you start looking for it.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

He's had his moments that's for sure.

 

[Doomsday]

When teams blitz we can never seem to pick it up. And when you look you'll see why - Murray's simply not a blocker. He's not overly bright in those situations either.

 

[dbair1967]

I guess guys like Ron Jaworski, Jon Gruden, Troy Aikman, Darryl Johnson, Trent Dilfer etc etc have no idea what they are talking about then Dooms, because they all talk about how solid he is in pass protection.

Okay. Defer to the experts right? I know what I see. He is NO Emmitt Smith in this regard. Not even close.
