Saw this in the paper: Roach Murray has carried the ball 15 times on third down - all 15 resulted in first downs at 6.5 yards per.

Not bad, Roach Murray.

Murray is the guy the Eagles should be turning to when it is time to grind out the clock with a lead toward the end of the game. he is not the player they thought they were getting when they signed him but he still has value as a football player. how kelly utilizes him the rest of the season will tell us just as much about chip kelly the coach as the ill-advised signing told us about Chip Kelly the GM.
