Silver Star Nation: Eagles Game Just Another Game For ‘Boys

After a Walter Thurmond interception, Sam Bradford handed the ball to DeMarco Murray, who sauntered in to the end zone for an easy score.

The Dallas Cowboys sit atop the NFC East after just one week, as the rest of the teams in the division failed to win their 2015 season openers.

The Dallas Cowboys played an outstanding game but only had 81 rushing yards. “They have a chance to do great things”.

Murray wasn’t able to establish anything against Atlanta, rushing the ball eight times for nine yards, though Darren Sproles lifted the team’s overall numbers with 50 yards on five attempts. Lance Dunbar and Jason Witten have combined for 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns while Terrance Williams has five receptions. Instead, Romo led the offense down the field to give the Cowboys a 27-26 win .

Randle made headlines in May when he said Murray had a “good year last year” but also “felt like there was a lot of meat left on the bone”. The more I hang on it, the more I can’t get prepared for Dallas. “I haven’t seen any change in him because it’s Dallas week and he played for Dallas”. “I think a couple of the guys were at a charity deal yesterday and everybody was talking about… they had some choice words for Dallas”.

Although these injuries will certainly factor into future games, this power ranking should be more about how the Cowboys played in their previous contest, as that’s the only real evidence you have judge them by. It may take awhile for him to get back to his best, though the 49 snaps suggest he’ll be a big part of the Eagles plans this year (RILB DeMeco Ryans, -2.0, managed 28). The much hyped running game, led by Murray, was largely absent. I understand the business side of the NFL. “I sure as heck wouldn’t want to be wearing Cowboys gear around Philadelphia”. The two tackles and Jason Kelce (when he’s not getting called for holding in the most impressive fashion possible) are pretty darn good, but the guys in between them are huge question marks. “I have a lot of respect for them, but I moved on a long time ago and I’m happy to be here”.

When you have four 2-minute drives, you’re not really focusing on the run. Oh, yeah, and DeMarco Murray plays for the Philadelphia Eagles now. But Murray dismissed that, as well, because he said the Eagles had success passing the ball and he’s fine with that. “Obviously Atlanta did a good job bringing that extra defender in the box”. It’s not just Dez is out, the other receiver comes in the game. We’re trying to go for a championship. “We’re going to run our plays and go from there”. “We’ll learn from it and get better from it”.

Murray had only two rushes in the last 28 minutes of game, which flies in the face of his strength as a rhythm-type back who wears defenses down.

“We’ll see”, the two-time Pro Bowler said. Bradford should be much improved after a strong second half, leading to a potential shootout at Lincoln Financial Field.

The fans: They cheered when Michael Irvin got hurt, threw snowballs at Jimmy Johnson and countless others and just are annoying all around. “We have to learn from it and get it corrected”.
