I only care about your comment because your a girl commenting on football. Other then that,
@@Maradala ok and?
@Alex R you're not wrong 😅
DeMarco Murray's running style is my favorite of all time. Criminally underrated.
Oh yeah didn’t have break away speed but always gained positive yards, seemed like the cowboys were always in 2nd & 5.
@@TyreseBuie he had break away speed and was trucking people
@@kI-cq5xq I remember when he trucked that Eagles defensive lineman💯
@@TyreseBuie “didn’t have breakaway speed”- no one ever
As somebody that drafted Demarco to my fantasy team in 2014 with a mid round pick... I can vouch for the man. He was the obvious reason I won the championship with ease that year.
Same man I took Rogers with my 1st pick and Demarco 2nd. Needless to say I won.
As a cowboys fan, I’ll never forget that season he gave us. Also, Dez caught it.
on everything
Yep NFL even admitted the refs screwed us
Pats fan here, yeah, Dez totally caught that ball. Should have been Pats vs. Boys in SB XLIX.
That play will haunt me till the day I die, felt sick to my stomach for a few months after that.
@@billyshoplak4490 yep not gonna lie I was crying in my living room on the ground I couldn't believe it
This guy had unbelievable field vision. Instantly processing where the weakness was, and exploiting it through quickness and shifty moves. That was his superpower...but every great back needs a great O Line. They work in tandem.
damn. Demarco Murray in his prime with dallas was crazy.
2014 Romo, Dez, and Murray were built different
@@enzobenzo09 youd wonder how that squad didnt win a championship or atleast make the superbowl
@@disappointeddenverfan3318 after the catch controversy
@@disappointeddenverfan3318 Dez caught it!
@@snappy619 true but still im talking about the average fan
2014 will forever be my favorite year as a Cowboys fan. Just hate how it all ended.
It was so much fun watching him play. Along with that ELITE o-line, Tony, Dez, and Wit! good times.
Honestly he was a good rb but not that great. Like the oline was just ridiculously good
The o line had Nothing to do with his moves in the secondary. Great blocks by the receivers but awesome cuts so subtle you’ll miss them like the corners did
As much fun as those times were, and they are my favorite memories as a cowboys fan, I still get flashbacks of hte no catch ruling and how it ended the season.
ugh
@@JD-jz5gu yep only if we could of had a legit defense as well no telling what might of happened
@@dude202020rd Damn, they mighta had another dynasty for sure
He got back to form in Tennessee for a couple years. He was a big part in turning our franchise around. Will always respect him
As long as KTO keeps posting these bangers I don’t care how long they take Quality > quantity
yessirrr

Eat your cereal
@@aaronsustaita8225 ofc
U still got that pfp?
Yes, as a cowboys fan I remember watching his first game with my dad and will always hold a place in my heart.
As a Giants fan, I can tell you this guy was legit.
He was smooth, had great vision, and could get to the outside when it looked like it wasn’t there.
He may have retired a little early, but good for DeMarco for getting out while he was still whole, and he is still involved in Football with a great program.
For a third round pick you can’t lie he was pretty good in his career
Ehh I’d rather take that 6th rounder
Tony pollard is a 4th round pick
@@TheMagicPencilG so is dak
@@AndersonNorden what does that even have to do with this …
"What happened to DeMarco Murray?"
Short answer: Chip Kelly.
Yup. Took him completely out of the shotgun. He needed a few yards to gather speed and find a pocket.
Yep, all he did was get tackled in the backfield for the eagles, those shotgun runs were awful
Kelly has an awful habit of trying to fit square pegs into round holes. He could have fooled people for years had he stayed in Oregon.
Jerry wasted the franchise tag that year and should have used it for it's real purpose and tagged 29
I never understood why anyone thought chip Kelly would be a good nfl coach.
The GOAT is back
Ikkkk
hello exil
Yooo exil
no wonder u watch KTO. your videos have always striked me as similar

As a Titans fan, that first DeMarco Murray season was fun. I enjoyed having him on the team, it sucks that he fell off so quickly after that. But, I can’t complain too much with the luck we’ve had at running back over the years. Earl Campbell, Eddie George, Chris Johnson, Derrick Henry, it feels like our identity
Kept Derrick Henry on the bench for two years in Tennessee. That alone tells you how good he was.
Agreed, but it’s easy to forget that Derrick Henry struggled a lot those first couple years; it wasn’t until that crazy Jags game where he really came into his own
Yeah henry was looking like a big bust for a couple years
Henry seemed like he couldn't really figure it out early, I think he lacked some confidence. He's an AD type of guy who needs to be fed the ball over and over and over until he wears the defense down and things start to click for him. He really went to the next level once Murray was out of the picture. He's put up 1000 yard seasons and new career highs in every rushing category since he got the starting job in 2018.
Actually, Derrick hadn't come into his own just yet. A heart to heart with Eddie George inspired him and changed the way he approached the game. The rest, as they say, is history.
👁👄👁
As a Titan’s fan he was great with us, we loved having him and Derrick Henry! Man I don’t know how those two together didn’t blow the league up but it was a fun time. Murray will always be a great Titan to me.
When the world needed him most. He reappeared
The most underrated back of all time. I was just thinking about him on Sunday. Stud, Stud and Stud. He wast Fast, Strong and Smooth! The Man.
I’m a Titans fan and I loved Murray when he was in Tennessee!
We haven’t had a losing season since we traded for him and the undertaker
@@deandreray3500 fr. That dual rb that season was crazy
Titans fan here, thank you DeMarco Murray for your locker room leadership & wisdom. Definitely laid the groundwork for our offense in the upcoming years.
D. Murray was a beast during his best years. Thanks for the video and welcome back!
I think Marion Barber was better..I think he came after D Murray?
As a Sooner fan and Cowboy fan, it was obvious he was my favorite player. Was so upset he left for Philadelphia but could not blame him after they re-signed Dez Bryant. Still, what could have been if he stayed healthy and re-signed with the Cowboys...
he comes through my work a lot. super respectable and nice guy, very professional and down to earth. always will love his game and appreciate what he did for the fans here locally
Boomer Sooner gotta love Murray he was OU’s running back when I fell in love with football up until that point you couldn’t pay me to watch it him and Bradford are the reasons I am a die hard Sooner fan. He’s doing great still with Lincoln he just got us huge running back commit and he’s got another already lined up both top guys it’s crazy.
It’s a great day when KTO uploads 😊
Yessir
I loved his time in Nashville, he was the ultimate professional.
0:11 only 2 of those running backs are still in the leauge and neither of them start. The career length for a runningback is not long at all.
Who? Neither mccoy or bell have contracts and I think both of them might retire, altough for different reasons, one age and the other talking too much
@@Danoliveira3 Yeah I agree McCoy will retire and that Le'Vonn looks like he will not be signed anywhere.
Not looking great for Lamar Jackson then 😕
Depends on run style. I think JK Dobbins will age well because of his run style. North-South backs tend to age worse than scat ones and East-West ones.
Adrian Peterson is still playing and he and Derrick Henry have similar run styles.
I remembered this season. It was a crazy season. Dude was killing all season
My son was 4 when he was signed by the eagles. When I told him about Murray leaving Dallas he cried. I almost did as well. That's the game I guess.
Loved what this guy did for us. Thanks Demarco. I always felt the 2014 season was a season too late for the coaches. As a fan of the sport, I always felt he should’ve been featured a lot sooner.
Could you make a video on Raghib "The Rocket" Ismail? He was electrifying and there isn't any high quality videos made about him!
@Charles Evvan god that is a terrible name for an establishment
@Charles Evvan haha I live a few hours from there. Its where the TV show "The Office" was set.
No matter what, Titans fans still love Demarco for his two years with us. We appreciate you D🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Titan fan here, Demarco Murray was a foundation piece for the Titans turnaround. He was welcomed with open arms in Nashville and really helped Derrick Henry become the best he is today. When Henry was drafted, he had a lot of miles under his belt in Bama and those first 2 years with Murray I believe helped Henry out to get his understand of the NFL. The Titans Exotic smash mouth era was short but fun to watch. Thanks Demarco Murray!
That flip he had with the titans is still crazy
Felt like yesterday when he led the league
I remember having Murray in 2014 on my first ever fantasy team. Along with Andrew Luck and Calvin Johnson
I got to watch this guy at Oklahoma personally run back the final touchdown from the Bedlam game! It was a helluva game to attend.
Please do something on Jimmy Smith. Was a truly forgotten great that was almost hall of fame type player.
It makes Marshawn Lynch’s 5 years at Seattle quite spectacular considering the history of Running Backs
I remember I had Murray in my madden team. Most dominant rb I ever owned
That Cowboys O line was crazy!
It's kind of funny Demarco took choices job cuz choice started out at OU and another OU legend took his spot that being Adrian Peterson
Beautiful video. Murray went out young, healthy, and made some money .He beat the the game and won.
The cowboys got the best running backs than turn trash towards the ends
That’s what happens when they got the best line for years
Demarco wasn't even really a top 10 back. He had a stellar offensive line.
Yeah
After Emmitt Smith left, this is absolutely true.
With the 4th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select...😔
I remember way back a Big 12 correspondent would bring up Murray when he was in High School and entering OU every time they talked about OU football. Dude was a thoroughbred, crazy how quickly he faded.
Reminds me of Shaun Alexander. League MVP in 2005, injuries in '06 & '07, released by Seattle after the season. Played 4 games for Washington in '08 and was released. Never played again.
I still remember that Green Bay divisional game. I think the game changed when he fumbled that ball to Green Bay near midfield. If Demarco gets past Julius Peppers there is no one near him. He either scores or gets into the redzone and instead he fumbles. If again Demarco scores the Cowboys go up by 11 at that point .
When that fumble happened I knew in my gut the Cowboys were going to lose. The Dez catch / no-catch was devastating of course, but there was just something about that fumble that seemed to cement that old feeling of “here we go again”
he made me a champion the first time i ever tried fantasy football, then was never seen again. i feel like he did it just for me and then dipped.
Yea that team was awesome, run game was soo beast. Loved Murray, he would hit holes with everything he had like a bullet, and he was really tough he never backed down, always did his job. Was really disappointing and hard to believe when he left. Oh well, good memories.
I remember getting so damn frustrated with the cowboys offense that I was constantly yelling at my tv to give the ball to Murray! I was about to give up when they let him walk. But I will never forget his first game against the cowboys when my boys lead by general lee, shut his ass down.
General lee?
After the fumble he had in Green Bay I wanted him to go. People talk about the “catch” a lot. But they fail to remember the fumble Murray had.
Because of a effing fumble dude.... after everything he did right for you...by those standards you should have cut Tony Romo way back when and take your throne as the leagues eternal clown 🤡 show lol.
Demarco was an awesome Titan and was a huge part of their turnaround, great guy, great player.
its all love for demarco, from a lifetime cowboys fan
Man Dallas just makes stellar running backs from Dorsett to walker to Smith to Murrah and now the torch is being passed to Elliott who shows promise of being a great back just like the ones before him
also Marion Barber. he was a damn monster. he was Marshawn Lynch before Marshawn Lynch. go watch his highlights on youtube...dude was nuts.
I loved watching Murray run the ball.
That man balled out. HE WAS 1 OF MY FAVORITE BACKS OF COWBOYS ORGANIZATIONS.
THANK YOU MURRAY.
SURE HATED TO SEE HIM GO TO EAGLES TEAM THAT YEAR. FELT SORRY FOR HIM.
HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS.
LET'S GO COWBOYS DCB4LIFEXXXXXX
I remember being all hype off him and using him in madden
Lifelong Cowboys fan here (I’m 51) - DeMarco is my 3rd favorite ‘Boys RB ever, behind Tony and Emmitt (in that order)
The outro/end highlight is like a goodie bag after a party
Trust me as a cowboys fan a majority of us don’t hate him, didn’t hate him for leaving, and are glad that he had that incredible season and hell I don’t hate the titans either so as a fan of football it was nice to see Murray go have another 1000+ yard season in Tennessee. I completely understand why both parties did what they did and it worked out for the cowboys in the long run getting Zeke and Dak in 2016 but it would have admittedly been nice to see Murray stick around for a few more years. I have a Murray Jersey, and Ironically a Tashard Choice Jersey. That guy was a beast too. Hell I even have a Felix Jones Jersey. Either way I am glad that Murray is happy where he is today.
Let's not forget the biggest play that he didn't make in 2014. He fumbled a would be touchdown against the packers that would have put the game away.
And it was overlooked cause of Dez catch
Sure and Tony Romos chokes too right? ....right? Cowboys are a joke...
KTO is a rare treat in my feed. Always happy for something new, no matter how long it takes.
I still have my Cowboys Murray jersey, I will probably rock it still. He was my favorite Dallas player for a time.
I love how you leave it on a good note💯
When that end of the video music hits….. there’s nothing better on TH-cam
One of the best run-to-contact Backs to play the game.... When healthy
Great Content. Professionally Edited & filmed.. thanks for putting in the Time To research and Gather Facts etc.. and Putting this content on TH-cam its appreciated and you just gained a new Sub
"What happened?" - Every. Single. Body. Who pays attention knows exactly what happened. That Line in Dallas was the best thing to ever happen to Demarco. PERIOD.
Thank you! I thought I was the only one to realize that it was the offensive line that helped make him so good.
So running backs don’t need O-lines? Really? That’s a pretty asinine comment.
No it wasn’t he was still good with Tennessee
I remember him putting billboards around town showing appreciation for the fans when he left
You can see from the video it wasn’t just his speed, it was his vision. He always got a good look at where the hole was gonna open, before he made his burst.
God I miss having bill Callahan as our Oline Coach.
Dude same! Honestly our O line was never the same without him he was a key difference maker that no one talks about!
Let’s hope everyone stays healthy. I’m hoping the 2nd year center is a baby Fredrick
That O line was never the same when Ron Leary left after that season to go to Denver.
dude was a straight up STUD. had he been able to stay healthy God only knows what he would have done. classy guy and wish him all the best in his future. he has much to be proud of.
One of my favorite players of all time.
Murray was always a stand up guy that played with a lot of heart. He gave his all when he had the opportunity to run behind one of the best offensive lines in NFL history and made the most of it. Loved it when he bought his lineman those imacs. He was luckier than most to get the opportunity that he did. But the best overall decision he could have ever made would of been to take that 6 million offer and stay on the team. We all make mistakes in life.
As a Titan's fan, I remember that season. Dude was electric.
He didn’t play good in that packers game that year, those fumbles killed us
DeMarco Murray I had in my fantasy team that crazy year and was the big reason I won the league that year. My first pick was him the next year and I finished last!
You can talk about Murray all you want, but that oline that year for the Cowboys was amazing. Murray wasnt even touched until second, third level. That oline was dominant that year.
As a Cowboys fan I still have my Murray Jersey and I absolutely loved watching him run the ball in Dallas and Tennessee just not for the Eagles lol but I still wear number 29 for my Cowboys
Happens all the time with RBs. The pounding they take and the exposure to leg and ankle injuries shorten their playing span. Exceptions are rare.
Whole vid gave me the chills, very well done.
I wish him all the best
i had murray, zeke and bell in 2016 for fantasy, probably the best team ever
One of the best backs out of college. Hoped he could haves stayed healthy so he could play longer
he was legend for my sooners before his injuries. Could have won the natty for us against the Gators... he's coaching backs now which works out
That year in Tennessee i had some clutch wins with Demarco as my RB in fanduel.
Yeh I wonder why his career was so short after the Titian’s he just disappeared
Yeah once he went to the Eagles he just went quiet. He wasn’t as productive anymore, he wasn’t as good, but when he went to the Titans, he had some nice moments, but then he just died. The Cowboys really were a significant part of his career with their offensive line.
He had 1,200 yards and 9 TD’s with the Titans and I’m a Titans fan, he got us out of 2-14 to 9-7 record and would spark the beginning of the Derrick Henry era which is now in a Super Bowl run. I know it’s not much for other nfl fans but he helped the Titans turn everything around and that means a lot to me. He was awesome.
@@awwgez facts and TitanUp ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
@@Doll_ie what the hell are you talking about.... no dude the fact that Demarco Murray was so good for the titans and the Cowboys meant that the eagles effing sucked bro... not even his running style. Coach was awful, play calling was shit... they simply wasted a talented running backs career years. Sometimes football fans are incredibly dumb when it comes to assumptions.
He was a outstanding back
We'll never forget you DeMarcus Murphy!!!
He went to Philly that's what happened
I was actually at that Rams game where Murray broke the cowboys single game rushing record. We had no idea what we were in for that day.
I remember getting Derrick Henry his rookie year for fantasy. I figured he might be one of those rookies that has a breakout season. He never touched the field because of this guy.
"Did the exact opposite with Zeke Elliot" Drafted Zeke and then paid him a ton of money. Passed on Jalen Ramsey. Should have stuck to the Murray gameplan: RB's are interchangeable and a dime a dozen. Now the Cowboys secondary continues to be a weak point and Zeke looks old and slow already right after reupping and getting the big (much bigger) contract they weren't willing to give DM.
Pollard needs that torch
RB are not a "dime a dozen"
Thats the biggest myth spreading around!
If there's any position thats a "dime a dozen" it's WR
RB are not a "dime a dozen"
Thats the biggest myth spreading around!
If there's any position thats a "dime a dozen" it's WR
@@Neutorious6 Point is, RB's aren't worth top 5 picks anymore and picking Zeke has set this secondary back tremendously... and now you have to pay him $15 mil (averaged out) a year.
@@Big.Kev.3.0 I don’t think any fan knows football more than the people making money to make football decisions . Zekes played a pivotal role on the team this season and not only in rushing but pass blocking . I wonder how many teams dream to have a dual threat back like Eliot to play power back for their 1A RB . Elliot opens up the entire playbook
I used to go crazy with Demarco Murray on Ncaa man he was a dawg
One of the best, the Cowboys need to know the balance in keeping their people longer if their still producing. Yes, contracts get extended but they have to put a limit on team raise under the next signing as a group, because eventually it comes too, a resigning bonus not a per year, compounded raise, hopefully the team is also playing a game that’s still fun to play and even though their getting payed to play, they see winning the Championship is more important than just blowing the team unity in a repeat season.
Why things went "downhill"... I see what you did there
Even with a great O Line , if you have average back , you have a average ground game . Give the man his props , he was good 👍👍 up !!
Go Pack
So he played ACTUALLY from 2011-2017. That's actually about how long Running Backs last in today's NFL. 6-7 years is your average expectation for a RB.
Dude your videos are awesome and seeing you made a video made my day.
DeMarco Murray was a beast, as much as i despise Dallas, i respect him
I agree
Hell yea demarco ran all over my Seahawks. No matter which team he was with, dude was an animal.
@@skeezix8156 Cowboy fan here. I’ll never forget the game at Seattle in 2014. By far my favorite game watching the Boys.
