The injury was a high ankle sprain, which should have affected his running numbers. But it didn’t. He had 282 yards rushing after the injury as opposed to 147 prior to the injury. It goes without saying that Murray runs when he HAS to. With Hopkins available the 1st 7 games, Murray had more passing options because teams focused on Hop, which left the rest of his receivers against lesser CB’s. Once Hop went out, Green & Kirk went on witness protection, and Murray was forced to run more. Coupled with an OL that got worse every week, especially when Hudson was out 4-5 weeks & it‘s not rocket science that Murray’s numbers wouldn’t be as good. It had nothing to do with reverting, but everything to do with lack of protection, lack of run support from RB’s, and lack go WR production.
and unfortunately, it appears Murray was afraid to run...
for the first time in his career he was playing against BIG, FAST people that could hurt him, and he can't take that.
he needs to be gone... but we all know, that doesn't happen until after next year and the whole bunch are fired after a sad sack season....
next year my back-up team will be the Raiders... I fully expect my back-up team to outperform the Cards... and i expect the GM and many coaches to get turfed because these clowns have no idea...
i watched Bills/Chiefs today and thought 'Our team is about 10 years away from being one of these teams'
if ownership doesn't change ( Bidwill is an idiot that thinks, hey, I am a law school graduate, i know more than anyone else in the world, and he has been bamboozled by Keim.. what a dufus.. both are)... if ownership, forget coaches, GMs players, waterboys, etc doesn't change ... I am gone... I am done.. .. you Cardinal as*wipes that want to dispute that.. go watch CHIEFS and BILLS in divisional final... maybe the greatest game of football EVER played and we the Cards would have lost to either team by about 45 points.... NOW, defend Bidwill ... I am so close to gone ( I know, some smarta## will say Bye.. see ya ... completely trivializing 28 years of fandom ... i
If the team you love is run by morons, who don't REALLY care and has no hope of EVER winning anything.. then any fan of that team is a fool ... it only takes LESS PROFIT to build a good team (and someone knowledgeable to go get the premium talent... which eliminates Keim right there )
