APWhen Cowboys owner Jerry Jones looks at rookie running back DeMarco Murray, he?s reminded of a running back who had one of the great rookie seasons in NFL history, on his way to the Hall of Fame.
Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that Murray reminds him of Eric Dickerson, who ran for 1,808 yards as a rookie with the Los Angeles Rams in 1983.
?He kind of has a glide a little like Dickerson used to,? Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. ?He has a certain smoothness. His glide, he doesn?t lift his feet as much as Dickerson did, but the other thing he reminds me of is he runs with such acceleration and power.?
And Jones says that when he sees the way Murray breaks tackles, he can?t help but think of the way Dickerson used to do it.
?He really throws that weight around,? Jones said. ?You have some backs, 235-pound backs, 240, they don?t run. They run on their toes and they don?t run with power. He?s 220 pounds, 225 pound back who runs with even more power and runs with more impact than his weight.?
Obviously, it?s extremely premature to compare Murray to Dickerson, who?s one of the greatest runners the game of football has ever seen. But it?s easy to see why Jones is excited about Murray, who has totaled 466 yards in his three games as the Cowboys? top running back. Murray looks like a star in the making.
