123.33

My bad that it wasn't exactly 120 yards per game as I was speaking from memory, 174 yards obviously isn't good enough for you because you'll find a fault with anybody that disagrees with you.

Murray is a stud back, but the Dallas O-line is the primary reason why they have an effective running game.

Haven't they used their first round pick on O-Line the past three drafts?

I believe so, Quite a few people laughed when they used their first rounder on a center

Its turned out pretty well for them.

Re: Drew Brees and the Art of the Untimely Interception

There is no way on earth Dallas should be 6-1 & we should be 2-4 yet it is a fact. Teams that were picked to be bad are winning & teams that were picked to go all the way are loosing with the exception of GB. It has been a crazy season so far.

That's right, we should run 80%-90% of the time... I bet they'd get 200+ yards rushing facing 8-9 in the box on every down.

I wonder if our offense would be any better than #2 in the league that we are now? #2 and our offense needs to get better; how about our #21st ranked defense?!

I think you're missing the point. No one is saying we don't need to run the ball. We're saying that the rushing yards that we're generating right now is not bad by any standard. The reason you may see other backs going for 100+ a game is because they are the feature back for their team. We don't have a feature back here. We do it by committee. It shouldn't matter where the yards are coming from as long as we get them.

It's also worth mentioning that most of murray's yards come before contact meaning his Oline is making wholes so big that he gets big chunk yardage before he even gets touched. I and every fan here would love to have that type of oline but honestly we don't so hoping for our running backs to get that type of yardage every game isn't going to happen. However, our rushing attack is far from bad.

Just trying to put some perspective on things. We have a lot of problems right now (poor decisions by brees at the worst times, breakdowns in defense at the worst times, poor communication by the defense, slow linebackers, etc) but our rushing attack is fairly low on the list of concerns.

You also neglected to mention how improved Dallas defense is this year which is also a big part of their success. I know they are helped by the run game but last year's defense couldn't stop a nose bleed. This year their defense is actually decent.

You say a lot of things. But mostly what I read is you trying to blow your own horn and say how you were right all along about something that you weren't necessarily right about.
