It does happen now and then but he has a steep hill to climb. We have some real rookie studs that will be able to close the gap.

So, who is the RB on the roster with more chemistry with Brees and greater knowledge of the playbook than Murray? Kamara, for sure. Certainly not Ozigbo. Allen, Washington, Dayes? Really doubt it. Murray is a vet that knows how to pick up new systems. And, he just turned 28 earlier this year ... not the "almost 30" that you claim. In fact, he's a year and two months YOUNGER than Ingram. Plus, the Saints signed him to a four year deal worth $14.4 million with half of that fully guaranteed. They knew exactly what they were getting in him or they wouldn't have commited that much to the cause.
