He's been nothing but steady splitting time with Kamara, who is obviously the star RB for New Orleans. But we never hear any complaints or rumors of his ego running wild. His first year here, he ran the ball 146 times, for 637 yards and 5 TDs. So far this year through 15 games, he's run the ball 146 times for 656 yards and 4 TDs. He's a reliable receiver, and is big and fast enough to make punishing short yardage runs or bounce it outside to get to the edge and extend runs. I know we all miss Ingram, but the offense hasn't missed a beat with Murray taking over for Mark.

He's a good dude on and off the field. He also got his MBA this year.

He’s been solid, especially lately.

It’s fun to watch him run through a checked out defense yesterday. No one wanted to tackle him

Not sure if he fell off a cliff or its the way they use him. They use like 4 RBs. Ingram needs to be uses frequently to get in a rhythm.

Id like to see him back with us but it just doesnt make any sense with having Murray.

Could he manage 20 touches a game? I'd like to see it.

Honestly, he's the perfect complimentary back. If he weren't injury prone he could be a legit quality starting RB.

He really should be a starter on a bottom 3rd team

If he didn't get tackled on shoe string tackles, he would still be running.
That's his achilles heel

Honestly his style of play is the reason he has had injuries in the past and why he can’t be a full time 3 down back. He’s in the perfect situation to extend his career. Spell Ak and come in to wear down a tired defense in the second half if we have a lead. Any more than that and I think his body would be worn out.

Murray is an unsung hero. He goes out every week and does everything asked of him. Not eat for a back that is at his best with multiple carries to get in a rhythm. Playing an entire game, he would be at his best in the fourth quarter.

His straight line speed surprises the hell out of me. When he gets in the open field he’s very tough to track down for a large, older rb especially.

I had no idea Ingram has become a healthy scratch player for the Ravens. I know he’s struggling with that demotion. Very competitive and prideful guy.

Murray was like legit legit for the Vikings and the Raiders, I assumed he would kind of fall off like most rbs with his kind of mileage but man week after week he is still doing rb1 things! Great signing!
