I've never not been handed an open container on a flight so other than the flight attendant being an asshole, this...

    I had that to look forward to before things fell apart right before I started. And to their credit my director did everything he could to teach me about what we do here, but in the end I have zero people to turn to when I run into an issue with the code. At best I can bounce ideas off the senior...

    One back having 1200 sounds about right. Keep in mind that we don't need to replace Murray, we just need our overall run game to be roughly the same, which was ~2400 yards. I figure Randle and McFadden will have the bulk of the carries.

    I liked what one of the Cowboys.com writers said: I remember feeling that way after some replays during a game or two. Like he zigged when he should have zagged. Now, it's unknown if Randle can be the one to get those extra yards but either way, we'll see how the season plays out.

    At any rate, Peterson is just realizing that the team holds all the cards. None of the rest of his contract is guaranteed, even though that's a shitload of money. Of course, the Vikings are just as hamstrung here. Peterson won't sign a new contract, not unless it's fully guaranteed (which will...

    Most people knew Murray would be pretty good, he showed enough flashes, but weren't convinced he could stay healthy. The latter part is still true. However, as good as he was last year, Dallas' run game ranked #1 in yards before contact (or maybe #2) which is a direct indicator of how good the...

    Yeah but if a shit organization is going to make a shit decision, at least they're making the shit decision that gives them the most leverage. I still have this nagging feeling that Jerry is going to Jerry at some point and leverage the team's future (2016 1st rounder) to grab him.

    I know you're trolling but Eagles were one of the worst teams last year at yards gained before contact, which is ultimately a measure of how good the offensive line is (Cowboys were one of the best, obviously). So I guess we'll see just how good Murray is really. I think he's injured by week 7.
