Smokes Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 One year to late, was obvious after the first 4 games, and I'd imagine it was visible to the coaches from the late game film in 2016 and what was seen in the off-season. Hard to change course when your scheme/play calling relies on a stud RB that turns into a lump pud. Should have gotten Henry way more involved early on, if nothing else to vet him.

As not only THE GUY but THE GUY that the play calling/scheme ran though is well fuck man self evident. With the above said when you look back at that point and MM getting gimpy again they may have felt they had no choice Glad we got a playoff win, even happier to move on and maybe forward. Hope dude invested well and gets mad poontang, always came off as good guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if he only had 7 to 8 carries, passpro responsibility, and catching passes out of the backfield he would have been alright in that role, not long term mind you, but last year yeah I think he'd been alright. More of a plus than the negative he became due to the workload last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemEngr79 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 He probably had several Vet min offers and made a business decision to retire with good health. I wish him the best in retirement. TitanicoNFLriotFAN, and IsntLifeFunny 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 And to think... malarkey would still have him starting this season if he was in charge. What at a buffoon. Murray was great for about 4 of 34 games. Was terrible for about 25 of the rest. Hindered the growth of Henry.. thanks for for your time but glad we moved on Mythos27, EagleEye, and TitanTez 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pride and fear of Henry fully taking over hurt the team and ultimately his own career. It's too bad because he seems like a high-character guy but pride makes fools of us all at times. Mularkey could've/should've sat him but it's hard to sit a guy who swears he's good and I'm sure looks ok during the week of practice when he's a team leader. oldschool, and Tormentedrose 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, no player is going to voluntarily sit down if he's being allowed to play. I remember watching him in the Cleveland game last year and he could barely move, yet they kept running him back out there. It was on Mularkey and staff for continuing to play him. The thing with Murray is he could have served a valuable role as merely a 3rd down back. He was terrific as a pass catcher and a blocker. Remember that 4th down catch he had at KC in 2016? titanruss, and IsntLifeFunny 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
