only helps us

[Moopsiepuffs]

I've got a broken bone in my pants if he can't play.

[snkdy]

Wow.

[chad hugo]

how fast can you heal from that kind of surgery, just wondering 

[Moopsiepuffs]

Well, if he's planning on playing in six days,  I would guess less than six days.

[ProblChld32]

It would be in Murray's best interest to sit that game out. i would hate for him to injure himself further.

DeMarco Murray 2 undergo surgery today 2 repair broken 4th metacarpal, according 2 source. Emmitt Smith had similar surgery, missed 1 game

[corgi]

"That dude is as tough as a two dollar steak" (Jim Ross). Lots of respect if he can play on Sunday. Hope he heals up, dude is very talented.

[HtownColt]

I say he plays. Cowboys need this game with the Eagles last two games vs Redskins and Giants

[Flash7]

If he plays, we would b crazy not to place extra emphasis on stripping the ball.

[Cynjin]

Which hand is it and is it his dominant hand?

 

 

Edit: I saw a report that it is his left hand.

[SilentHill]

by the sounds of it, Jerry doesn't cound confident he will play:

 

"Obviously. DeMarco Murray has a broken bone in his hand," Jones told KRLD-FM. "At the same time, he hasn't been ruled out. It's not something that if it responds well after surgery today, that he can't come back and play this weekend. It's probably a tough expectation to think that he can, but we'll see."

[Mr.Debonair]

Even if he doesn't play, their O-Line is very good and their backup is capable of having a good game.

[corgi]

I wouldn't be shocked if Philly lost to the Giants. Dallas finishes up with Washington.

[snkdy]

This game is so important for Dallas. I'd be surprised if Murray doesn't play.

[oldunclemark]

If he cant play,,they lose to the Colts.

They have to keep that defense off the field....We will shred that 'D'

[Coltswarriors]

Could be a huge break for us.

 

Heard Emmitt Smith had the same surgery and missed 1 game.

[HtownColt]

I would, eagles beat them 27-0 the first game. With Becham, I think that was his 2nd game though

[Scully]

if he doesn't play it's going to be a much different game in terms of time of possession

[corgi]

Division games are so tricky to predict. I think the Giants would love to play spoiler. That said if the Eagles beat Giants I wouldn't be shocked either.

[grimluck72]

Doesn't matter if he plays or not. The colts make backup RBs look like world beaters.

[IndyD4U]

I'm willing to bet he plays!

[HtownColt]

Eagles hold the tie breaker over Dallas too, which makes the colts vs Dallas game a must win for them, since Eagles are favored to win out

The Cowboys aren't coached by BB.

[PrincetonTiger]

If I was I JJ and Co. I would have him sit because if he plays and gets hurt worse the Cowboy Season could be over

[HtownColt]

Cowboys season is over if they lose Sunday as well

[PrincetonTiger]

Cowboys season is over if they lose Sunday as well

There lies the problem

[Scully]

That's why you have to rely on the next man up to go if Murray can't.

[lollygagger8]

Well if he doesn't play, I bet his back up runs for more than 150 yards on us and ends up on Sports Illustrated. 

 

[Jules]

Whether he plays or not, Cowboys need this game a lot more then we do. I am not sure what will happen but we have had some tough games vs. the Cowboys in the past. And Romo is GOOD. I am sure he will be a load.

 

No matter who is at RB we can have issues at times stopping the run when a good QB is also behind center. See Patriots game.....

[TKnight24]

Only way this helps is if they put the game on Romo's shoulders. But then again...... that offensive line vs our defensive line

 

Could be along day for the defense regardless if DM plays or not

 

And then offense with the slow starts...............

Romo is average. But that offensive line could make Johnny Manziel look GREAT

 

And then doesn't hurt when you're throwing to Dez & Witten 

[Boiler_Colt]

Well if he doesn't play, I bet his back up runs for more than 150 yards on us and ends up on Sports Illustrated. 

 

 

Sad but true. Joseph Randle becomes the #1 fantasy waiver wire pickup.

[pgt_rob]

Joseph Randle is their next in line RB. He's known to put up big numbers too.

[Scully]

It's gonna be a shoot out most definitely. May come down to who turns over the ball more.

[imacoltfan]

Murray won't play, Dunbar goes for 170, Dallas commits to Dunbar, doesn't sign Murray, and we get him in FA.

dunbar isnt the backup, randall is

[jvan1973]

Joseph Randall has a better ypc than Murray That oline is the problem for us

[NewColtsFan]

Randall averages 7.0 yards per carry.     Murray 5.0.       That's NOT to say Randall is better -- he's not.    It's only to say he's good and a quality back-up.
