DeMarco Murray gets better support

Dallas Cowboys Blog | ESPN Dallas — One of the biggest challenges the Dallas Cowboys faced this offseason was finding a comfort level with DeMarco Murray's backups. It appears that wasn't the case last season when Murray went down for six games with a severely sprained foot. Murray wanted to come back sooner, but the foot didn't respond quick enough to treatment. So with Murray out, the Cowboys went with Felix Jones as the starter. In those six games, Jones scored just two touchdowns and had one game with over 50 rushing yards (71 against Philadelphia).

DeMarco Murray: 'I let my game speak for itself'

Dallas Cowboys Blog | ESPN Dallas — GRAPEVINE, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys starting running back DeMarco Murray was hounded by questions about his durability when he came out of college. After two NFL seasons, those questions remain. Murray has missed nine games, including six last season. Perhaps that's why the Cowboys used a fifth-round pick on running back Joseph Randle in this year's draft. Murray said he didn't take it personally and welcomes the competition. However, the Cowboys drafted Randle with the understanding that he'd replace Murray should he get hurt.

DeMarco Murray says he'll remain careless

Dallas Cowboys Blog | ESPN Dallas — Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray was one of the prime examples shown on the video presentation the NFL gave in March about the new rule that will penalize running backs for leading with the crown of their helmet in the open field. Murray is aware of this, and true to bullheaded NFL player form, he says he's not going to change his running style to fit some stupid new rule that's designed to keep him from paralyzing himself someday, no sir.

Murray's yardage totals ranked 56th on the franchises' single-season list. Why was the rushing attack so bad? Offensive line? Running backs? Play calling? Tight ends? Fullback? What was it?

Helping DeMarco Murray avoid contact

Dallas Cowboys Blog | ESPN Dallas — IRVING, Texas -- In the Dallas Cowboys quest to keep starting running back DeMarco Murray healthy helping him avoid tackles is key. It's almost impossible because most, if not all runners, will get touched on a run at some point during the game. But what the Cowboys are attempting to do with Murray is making sure he takes fewer hits during a game. Last season, Murray tied for eighth in the NFL with eight broken tackles, Washington's Alfred Morris led the NFL with 22.

    Fifth-round draft pick Joseph Randle is injury insurance to DeMarco Murray.
  • The Cowboys Want Durability At Running Back
    We've seen just how important DeMarco Murray can be for the Dallas Cowboys. Even with a offensive line that has trouble blocking consistently, Murray's running ability brings another element to the offense. The offensive line needs to block better, but the Cowboys need to add another running back who can share the load. When the Cowboys drafted Murray back in 2011, the war room really found a steal. Make no mistake about it, DeMarco Murray has the potential to be an elite running back, but his injuries have prevented him from being that elite player. Jason Garrett loves what he can do ...
  • Cowboys Running Backs Coach Offers Clue To DeMarco Murray Backup
    New running backs coach Gary Brown has one key piece in place for a productive running game, that being lead back DeMarco Murray. If Murray can stay healthy for a season, he has the potential to be an elite back in the league. The problem with that is so far, Murray has been unable to remain injury-free. Behind Murray is where things start getting dicey. Felix Jones is going to be a free agent and is unlikely to be back in Dallas. Phillip Tanner has had moments where he was intriguing, but has yet to make a leap to "regular contributor". Besides everything else Dallas is looking for th...

    After another season of watching quarterback Tony Romo scrambling for his life, DeMarco Murray and Felix Jones running into a phalanx of defenders at the line of scrimmage, and something like 116 false starts, most fans of the Dallas Cowboys are ready to see some new blood on the offensive line. Many are ready to argue quite heatedly that they want to see an offensive lineman taken in the first round. If not there, they expect one surely needs to be taken in the second, and the team should probably get another later in the draft. These are people who may howl with dismay at the comment...
  • Seven Roles For Seven Cowboys
    I polled the front-page writers to see who they thought would fulfill the following seven roles in 2013. After the results from the front-page writers, make your own list in the comments. Let's get a consensus of what the BTB community thinks. Oh, by the way, Tom decided to do all coaches, so I'll tag his on at the end of each category. Enforcer: (Tie) DeMarco Murray (2 votes), Bruce Carter (2) - Coach: Monte Kiffin. Murray getting two votes as an offensive guy is impressive, but that's how physical a runner he can be. Carter showed such promise last year, looks like he's expected to t...
  • Cowboys free agents: Felix Jones
    Felix Jones Position: Running back Type: Unrestricted Summary: For only the second time in his five seasons, Jones was able to play a full season. But he was banged up throughout the season. Jones started seven times after DeMarco Murray suffered a sprained foot, but he never had more than 100 yards rushing in a game. He finished the year with 402 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 111 carries. He also caught 25 passes for 262 yards and caught two touchdowns.
