Fishooked Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 All the better for us, they're lucky they have Matthews and Sproles on their roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 actually I think that is bad. We want Murray out there he is terrible in the Philly system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 The less Sproles the better. Any increased time is not good if he is running out there catching short passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Murray is not the problem, there offensive line has been absolutely abysmal. He was hit at or behind the line of scrimmage something like half of his attempts, which is going to be hard to fix against our defensive unit. I think the biggest loss is going to be Kiko and Thorton? missing this week, that's going to be a huge advantage to our running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego My Lageman Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Yea Id rather Murray play. He is one of those backs thats needs touches to get in a rhythm,we can handle that. Sproles and Matthews are quicker backs that are easier to plug and play. Jets could have a tough time with their speed outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually fit Chips system better than Murray. This could be a blessing in disguise for the Eagles. Not that the Jets should be worried but Murray is the wrong fit for that system.

Sproles and Matthews are quicker backs that are easier to plug and play. Jets could have a tough time with their speed outside. Agreed. He's a down hill runner that needs a little head speed and a lot of touches. Not this stretch, read option with the QB giving the ball to the RB stuff they run. Murray needs to have head start and take the ball from the QB to be effective. He cant bounce outside. He needs to run between the tackles. Both Matthews and Sproles can hit the edge and go.

Colts broke a few, but I chalk that up to the fact that our offense sputtered around 14-7 and the defense was shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I know its preseason, but I liked what I saw out of Kenjon Barner during the preseason. Eagles are a Murray (already happening) and Mathews (likely, given this history) injury away from him being relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain The Foe Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 actually I think that is bad. We want Murray out there he is terrible in the Philly system. I agree. I prefer to see Murray with our defensive front. Sproles can create problems all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Looking at the snap counts from last game, I think a HUGE (pun intended) part of that was that Snacks was sidelined for most of the game. He barely saw the field. Like, 1/3 of the D snaps. When he's in, nobody is running the ball on the Jets with much success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 We're going to miss his 11 carries for -9 yards on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obvious that's what we were doing. Shut down the passing game, and bend but don't break against the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetFanatic Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm watching NFL Network and it just flashed on the bottom of the screen that he left practice due to a tweaked hammy. Hopefully he's out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
