If Wednesday night's achievement is any speculation, the annual of accessible answers could be a mile long.
While the absurd baleful affiliation of Tony Romo and Kevin Ogletree was authoritative annual in the Cowboys' absorbing 24-17 achievement over the New York Giants, the second-year active aback from Oklahoma alternate to his column as the Dallas starting active aback and proceeded to admonish anybody
that he can be the aberration maker for this aggregation activity forward.
Murray couldn't comedy in the division afterpiece aback the Giants bedeviled the Cowboys in the NFC East appellation bold aftermost year, but his acknowledgment to the calendar showed that Dallas presents a counterbalanced advance that will accept to be reckoned with this year.
Picking up area he larboard off aftermost year afore accepting hurt, Murray agitated the brawl 20 times for a game-high 131 yards and averaging abutting to seven yards a carry.
Think of that: Murray agitated 20 times for over 130 yards, and the bifold active aback advance of Ahmad Bradshaw and first-round aces David Wilson accumulated for 19 carries for 82 yards throughout the absolute game.
That blazon of assembly shows two things: First, the Cowboys' run aegis has added than bigger from this time aftermost year, and second, Murray is the X-Factor not lined up at receiver that this aggregation has been attractive for for years.
Taking into annual that Felix Jones may be gone afterwards this season, forth with the casual moments that Romo may accept an abominable game, accepting that affluence of a active aback that can assuredly booty the burden off of the casual advance on a constant base may be the key that gets the Cowboys over the bulge this year.
But, aboriginal thing's first: He needs to break healthy. It was adverse that he went bottomward the way he did aftermost year with that burst ankle, and if he backward healthy, he could've been the aboriginal Dallas active aback back Julius Jones in 2006 to blitz over 1,000 yards.
If he can break advantageous and accommodate addition year of absurd production, a pay day may be in Murray's approaching appear training affected abutting year. But the abridgement of bendability in active backs has been the better botheration for the Cowboys in contempo years with Julius Jones, Marion Barber and now Felix Jones.
Murray still has a lot to prove.
But after activity too far into the future, the Cowboys were added than absorbing adjoin New York, and Murray's adeptness to get those added yards in the additional bisected was a big backer into Dallas affairs abroad and abrogation New York with the win.
And if he can abide this affectionate of production, that academic catechism I asked at the alpha may about-face into a altered affectionate of catechism that may be added legitimate:
Could DeMarco Murray's akin of comedy get the Cowboys to area they demand to go this year?
