Hopefully he lasts longer than slubs like Dickerson and Eddie georgeWill never stay healthy as an upright 6'3" RB
Ok. GLWTEric Dickerson was also an upright 6'3" RB, but didn't have issues staying healthy.Will never stay healthy as an upright 6'3" RB
He lasted 4 carriesHopefully he lasts longer than slubs like Dickerson and Eddie georgeWill never stay healthy as an upright 6'3" RB
So you didn't see the hit?He lasted 4 carriesHopefully he lasts longer than slubs like Dickerson and Eddie georgeWill never stay healthy as an upright 6'3" RB
should've stayed uprightWill never stay healthy as an upright 6'3" RB
based on what ive seen so far RB 1...but teams will game plan for him nowSo what's the expectations the rest of the year assuming Murray is cleared to play next week? RB2?
Obviously he didn't.So you didn't see the hit?He lasted 4 carriesHopefully he lasts longer than slubs like Dickerson and Eddie georgeWill never stay healthy as an upright 6'3" RB
McFadden would lose his job to Shonn Greene if he was on the team.Looks like mcfadden lost his job to reese now too
There's that, they are just trying to be too smart by half, and some just refuse to play the younger less experienced over vets.This is a good reminder that NFL coaches often have no idea what they're doing.
That Bell hit from last year was worse actually, he was knocked out cold.LeVeon Bell took a similar kind of hit and played the next week. Murray has 10 days. We really don't know how long he will be out. The severity of the concussion is impossible to know.
Never mind. Wow.Murray over Crow after Tate getting released seems like a big risk to me.
Someone further up (Chaka) mentioned further up that Murray's two runs last week were the best two runs the Raiders have had all year. Now it looks like he has the 6 best runs for the team all year and one of them had to be the best single carry they have had since Bo Jackson tore up the Seahawks in the Kingdome.I know this sounds stupid but each of his four runs he looked great.
Note of thanks here as this inspired me to shift my WW priorities and get him. Great stuff, appreciated.I was at the game yesterday. Not much to say really, his first two carries were the two best rushing attempts of this entire season for the Raiders. The holes were decent but he still got banged around a bit at the line (where McFadden and MJD most assuredly would have been dropped) but he showed decisiveness and hit the hole hard and plowed into the secondary with surprising quickness.Anyone see the Oak/SD game? I was mostly watching Phi/Gb & AZ/Det so I could not really tell who was doing what in Oakland.
But the stat line looks good. Any hope he will get some more chances now?
It's too few touches to really draw many conclusions but he was really impressive with his opportunities. And he also looks like a giant out there. A quick giant who looked like he was trying to initiate contact with defenders to gain more yards (and put a hurting on them). I can't imagine many DBs out there want to see a guy of his stature running free in the secondary.
Peterson, Murray, foster. Its not about height, its about gaining the experience to know how to position your body at this level. Maybe he is one who learns.Hopefully he lasts longer than slubs like Dickerson and Eddie georgeWill never stay healthy as an upright 6'3" RB
Rich Gannon?Who was the last Raider to have value?

A big game does not make some one a RB 1, especially when that player got hurt on just 4 carries.Murray is a RB 1 when he is cleared to play. He may not put up tons of points every week but the potential is there.
It would be nice to hear they are starting him.Murray is a RB 1 when he is cleared to play. He may not put up tons of points every week but the potential is there.

Ditto.
He didn't get hurt on 4 carries. He got a concussion on one helmet to helmet tackle....whether he had 3 previous carries or 30 is irrelevant, and says nothing of his durability.A big game does not make some one a RB 1, especially when that player got hurt on just 4 carries.Murray is a RB 1 when he is cleared to play. He may not put up tons of points every week but the potential is there.
