    Now Murray left practice with a hamstring today (Wednesday). I know Shady has been dealing with a hamstring too, but he's been playing pretty well. Murray, on the other hand, has only 11 yards on 21 carries over two games...he's averaging half-a-yard. His longest run was 9-yards; apart from that, he's gained TWO YARDS ON TWENTY CARRIES. Yikes, but that's horrendous.
    no one saw that coming after a 500 carry season? that's pretty much standard when a rb carries the rock as much as murray did last year.

    A dropoff or an injury is pretty much expected, but Murray has been historically bad.

    TBH I think it's a bigger effect of cutting their two starting guards and replacing them with bums.

    Right now it's looking like we won but it's only been two games.

    i didn't realize murray's stats were so bad. We haven't even seen his fumbling issues yet. it could get much worse.

    That's too bad for Kiko. Loved the guy while he was here and was sad to see him go but we dodged a big time bullet there.

    Re: Kiko likely out for year.

    Swapping Kiko, who they found out they didn't need, for Shady, an All-Pro RB in his prime, made the trade a win for the Bills from the beginning. The only question was whether it would prove to be a win for the Eagles. It's early but Kiko looks done and Murray doesn't look anything like the player he was last year. Maybe that will change, but I doubt Kiko ever lives up to his potential.

    A little bit, but I think his problems stem from the way he plays....with such reckless abandon.

    You can get away with that in college,but not the NFL.

    I heard that it was a sprain and no tear....

    For the record I think Chip Kelly is a moron. Bradford might get benched for Sanchez if they don't win tomorrow. That's not a rumor FYI.

    It was a partial tear. He's damaged goods.

    The real reason Murray hasn't been successful in the Eagles offense has nothing to do with that.

    Bradford doesn't fit the system so no one cares about the read option...really Bradford is gonna keep it and run? Yeah, probably not.

    And Demarco himself doesn't fit it. He's a downhill runner not a sweep type runner. He's at his best hitting the line, finding the hole and just exploding through, he doesn't excel at trying to get wide which the Eagles do constantly and he gets stuffed constantly.

    He is a moron. His backfield doesn't even fit his system. Not to mention all the talent he ran out of Philly because they're weren't "his" guys.

    The funny/weird thing is that Kelly, and this has been verified by Eagles' owner Jeffrey Lurie, wants/needs a "one-cut RB" for his spread offense. Shady isn't that guy but theoretically Murray is. But in the end you still need blockers and the Eagles' OL was made to look a lot better than it was by Shady, whereas Dallas' was great on its own.

    If you watch the Eagles play though the majority of their runs are outside runs. Demarco isn't a sideline to sideline type of runner and it shows in his stats when he is tried to be made into one.

    No, I know. I just don't understand how Kelly can say he needs a one-cut RB and then still run plays to the outside. Does he suffer from multiple personalities?
