The only way to truly grasp just how bad the Eagles offense was last Sunday was to watch the game from beginning to end. It looked like Dallas knew Philly’s plays.
In the midst of that implosion, Murray had arguably the worst rushing game of his career. The reigning league rushing champion found himself with -15 rushing yards at one point in Sunday’s debacle and finished the day with 13 carries for a measly two yards against his former team. He couldn’t even score near the end despite getting the ball more than once at the goal line.
Murray now has 21 carries on the season for only 11 yards. For his owners, those are scary numbers. For those who don’t own him, that absolutely screams buy. There’s simply no way Murray’s struggles continue to this degree, not in an offense with so much potential, and there’s promise to be found in Murray’s involvement in the passing game—five receptions for 53 yards in two games. He’ll turn things around, at least somewhat, and if this offense starts clicking like it can we could see an even better Murray than we did last year. It’s time to buy.
