I've seen most of his games last few years. Raiders had some success smashing at the GL. Not much of a pass catcher though or shifty but he does have some open field speed.

What I hope doesn't happen is he is used 90% of the time for dive runs but that is probably what will happen. If he was a strong receiver he would have been used that way. Just not something he does.

Murray has almost the same catch % as Ingram, with close to the same yards/target and yards/reception.

It'll probably take Murray a little time to get comfortable in the offense but by the middle of the season I really don't expect to see much of a difference in production between the two.
