After his big season last year lots of ppl said he is the best RB in the league. Was rated higher than marshawn on the top 100 also . Now that he doesnt have an o line like he did in dallas he looks alot worse and pretty much horrible. Not saying he sucks but he was never the best RB. it was just the o line. even mcfadden is looking decent

Philly's O-line is a dumpster fire, particularly their guards. DeMarco definitely benefitted from Dallas's line, but there isn't a running back in the league that could run behind what Philly has out there.

Marshawn could.

Marshawn could line up by himself behind only a center and still get yards.

He is good, but his greatness last year was a product of that Oline.

Might be worth tuning into Philly sports talk radio this week. Should be good for a few laughs.

13 carries for 2 yards today.

He's not overrated IMO but he is struggling behind that line.

Big difference over what he had in Dallas.

Remember Barry Sanders?
I've always maintained that if he had been setting up behind the same line that that E. Smith guy had......

Well who knows but the O line plays a huge role in what a RB can accomplish.

Cept for the greats. Barry like you said, AP, and Marshawn.

DM had a line like Emmit did and took advantage of it.In Philly he has crap and cannot do it like Barry did.Certain backs need a powerful line while others need a lot less.I always thought the same pmedic that Barry with that Cowboy line would have ran well over 2,000 yrds multiple seasons,he was that good.

Anyone who watches football with an unbiased eye knows that Murray was more a product of an excellent offensive line and less of pure raw talent like AD.

The Cowboys run game has been shit since he left.

The Eagles have always been a pass to set up the run team. Bradford is off to a brutal start, and their guards suck, so the result is Murray getting his YPC destroyed by an avalanche of TFLs.

When Murray gets any space at all, he still does some damage. Problem is the he's getting hit deep in the backfield every other hand off.

Wow, that meme makes me glad I've seen those otherwise terrible advertisements.
