Re: What Will Make Or Break Murray
 

Where did you come up with that? One of the things that stands out about Murray is his durability. Do you think before you type?

Re: What Will Make Or Break Murray
 

We just need Murray to do what CJ Anderson did for the Rams last year. As the season wears on and defenses wear down and get banged up get him more carries and let him take some pressure off Kamara. If Murray has 2.4 yards per carry through the first 6 games we might need to be patient is what I'm saying.

The biggest red flag seems to be the one that is most difficult to measure...what lies between the ears. Many of the misfires we've had at RB and receiver are because they just couldn't understand the system. This will keep you on the sideline, no matter how talented you are.

Re: What Will Make Or Break Murray
 

For a newly acquired FA running back who has yet to play in one meaningful game for the Black and Gold, I don't think I've ever seen so much malevolence & venom.

Maybe Saints coaches should come to their senses and cut him now :rolleyes:.

Re: What Will Make Or Break Murray
 

I agree. I understand hedging your bets.... But, damn, we are bringing in RBs left and right.

That is a little worrisome. :pissed:

Consider the source.

Re: What Will Make Or Break Murray
 

Latavius Murray is like the fifth option in our offense. Stack the box with everything you've got.

Burn, you learn!

Re: What Will Make Or Break Murray
 

Ingram career catch percentage - 79.7%
Murray career catch percentage - 79.0%

Ingram career yards/target - 5.58
Murray career yards/target - 5.45

Ingram career yards/reception - 7.0
Murray career yards/reception - 6.9

You'd be hard pressed to find two running backs with closer receiving stats.

Re: What Will Make Or Break Murray
 

right now I wish they paid the 1 million extra for Ingram however I think Kamara can take over the payload

Re: What Will Make Or Break Murray
 

The stats though are from different sample sizes and different routes.

Murray career catches: 128
Ingram career catches: 228

As for routes, just looking at highlights, Murray has almost no screens. It's mostly Carlos Hyde style dump offs. With Ingram lots of screens with bigger gains.

If Murray can have some success with screens he's going to have probably one of his best outliner years and really screw up defenses. If not, he can still do ok with GL runs but there will be a drop in production. I could see a 3 back rotation develop like with AD, Kamara and Ingram.
