If you don't count his 3 "longest" runs of the year (9, 9, 14 yds), D. Murray has 110 yards rushing on 35 carries for an average of 3.1 yards. (3TDs) Maybe it's just me but the guy looks uninspired out there. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main reason I can't gripe about Bj. Tom Brady would've stunk behind that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray is all that good. When we had Darrell Scott running last year, when the kid got hit, he'd always fall forward. I don't see the same pop and strength out of Murray. Unfortunately, for someone lacking that pop, he's not all that quick either. He's just a steady RB that can't catch and won't likely turn the ball over. He shouldn't be our primary option in our backfield. I hope Marcus Shaw can stay healthy because I see promise in that kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This line misses Warren and Hine much more than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This line misses Warren and Hine much more than I expected. I covered this in another thread. The O-line couldn't handle the constant pressure from blitzes and our QB did nothing to keep the defenses honest, primarily because he doesn't have the skill set to do so. QB play and coaching are more to blame than the O-line. If I'm wrong, tell me how so, but I watched the game very closely last night and you've said nothing yet that proves me wrong.

Guess we still need a couple years for them to develop, but would expect better consistency given the focus here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically doesn't that leave voids in the backfield that our players should take advantage of? Or was rutgers playing more that 11 guys on the field?
