Murray is mostly having success against 3-4 fronts which are much easier to run against. Dallas has faced 5 3-4 defenses in 8 games, Murray is averaging 5.8 yards per carry in those games. In the three games against 4-3 schemes Murray is only rushing for 4.2 yards a carry.

If you want to beat the Cowboys in a 3-4 scheme you have to Blitz. Washington basically dared the Cowboys to beat them on quick outlet passes. Washington made the mistake of not going after Weeden and allowed Dallas to stay in the game, once Romo came back into the game they went Blitz happy again.

Next week the Cowboys play Arizona, they have to face the best 3-4 run defense in the league. I expect to see another low scoring close game, with the advantage going to the Cardinals.

Murray was averaging 7 yards a carry last night and they only had 23 total designed runs(19 carries for him).

Here's hoping that reminds them what success they were having riding him. I don't care if he blows out both legs from hip to toe as long as it happens after my fantasy playoffs.

"Only" 4.2 YPC.

Murray has had success in every game he's played, regardless of the formation. The Seahawks hadn't given up more than 60 something yards when he torched them for 120.

Talking about how a player on pace to break an all time record is playing "average" is absolutely retarded

He is average when facing 4-3, and the best in the league against 3-4. I never once stated Murray was playing "average" he is having an amazing season. He just isn't as good against 4-3 fronts as he is 3-4.

It is debatable that Arian Foster is actually having a better season, more YPC, more 20+ runs per carry, more TDs per carry, and less fumbles. Murray leads in carries, yards, and yards per game.

that and every good team makes their opponent beat them with the run nowadays. Sure Murray ran 200 yards on you, but you won...

albeit Demarco Murray and Adrian Petersen will beat you, they're that good. What other RB in the league can do that though? I can't think of one other current RB that can win a game for a team
Arian Foster carries the awful Texan offense the same way that Watt carries their defense. Put Foster behind the Dallas O-line and he'll match or outperform Murray, no question.

The lesson, as always, is don't draft secondary players from Bama. Really, just stay away from their defense in general, so many busts.
I watch every bama game. This is the absolute truth. Only take Bama DT or linebackers. It's all scheme with Bama.

I am, however, legit suprised that their qbs dont get more play. The last two never make mistakes. Which is more than I can say about most young Qbs

I like how everyone thinks that they understand football better than someone who has made it to a head coach/coordinator position with an NFL team.

Some of the HCs are pretty bad at certain aspects like time management or play calling, I think lots of people may beat them there, but hc is also the leader of the team managing like 100+ people and that's not easy either

Its not rocket science to implement a scheme that has been invented. Now true coaches invent concepts like west coast offense or an air raid or run and shoot. Any idiot can explain how to run a cover 2. Most NFL offenses are just variations of formation on about a dozen plays. Its not like coaches can go to a 4 year school and get a "coaching" degree


Its 90% personnel to fit scheme and execution.

Well we are fucked against Arizona. Another offensive line player seems to be hurt

Left guard Ronald Leary suffered a strained groin and did not play in overtime. Leary said he would undergo an MRI on Tuesday to determine the severity of the strain but hoped to be able to play Sunday against Arizona.
And they are being really vague on the injuries to Romo's back. Right now he may not play on Sunday
