View Full Version : According to Rivals network, DeMarco Murray recently strained his hamstring
Talked to one of my friends who works with Rivals and he copied and pasted the article for me from soonerscoop.com. DeMarco and Stoops said it wasn't SERIOUS. and that he should be 100% for season.
still scary

he's never going to be healthy... i don't see him having much of an NFL career, when he is getting this hurt in college...
I know AD got hurt some in college, but DM body is no even close to Peterson's.
Lol it pisses me off in NCAA 2010. It's like every other play Murray goes down. In my online dynasty with my friends, first came played some FCS school. He had 600 yds rushng and 8 TDs for me. Was gonna win heisman. Then he got injured next game for year LOL
but yea, thank god we got Chris Brown too

yup, said it this time last year, we won't win it all without Chris Brown... same for this year
Yea, and I only heard a lot of great things about Calhoun.
He's only 9 ranking pts behind Murray and Brown in NCAA 10 too lol

I'm sure Madu, is still taking plenty of snaps at running back

Yeah, I heard earlier today that he strained his hamy. I didn't want to post it bc I read the last thread about the rumor of his injury a week ago. I didn't want to get ran off this soon.

He's ok, I can see him through his dorm room window. I think he's eating froot loops... maybe fruity pebbles. I can't see all that well, the blinds are in my way.

Out 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. Will be 100% ready by BYU.

Not sure this is anything. DM just needs to be ready for gm 1, don't think he needs too many reps in August.
JLEW1818
8/7/2009, 05:09 PM
and hell if he aint ready for game one... DON'T FREAKING PLAY HIM!
no use trying to get him hurt more, especially in a non-conference game.
start Brown, and see how it goes...

It's funny how "he is hurt now, but will be OK in a couple of weeks" doesn't worry some. Like once he recovers, he will be good for the year.

Even though he should be back for the season opener this is still not good because of all the practices he is going to miss.

I think he knows that he needs to have a really good year. Since the tweak is on the other leg I think he will be fine and good to go.
I agree with not risking it. Start Chris. Chris can more than do the job.

Sorry, I cant seem to start a thread so here's my question... Does anyone know what Stoops meant when he said he wasn't pleased with J. Owens? I heard The Blevins talking about it on the radio. Not sure if it was him getting in trouble or maybe not in shape?

Lazy and poor footwork. If you go and watch the videos on SoonerSports they had one where the had to go through cones and everyone did fine with it, but Jameel knocked them over everytime.

just watched the Stoops interview... he said if it came down to it, Madu would move back to running back, if something happened.

How madu looking at WR?
JLEW1818

looking good... but if something happened to DM and Chris... Madu is gonna move back... or at least that's his thought at the moment
he said he proved himself in the big 12 championship game.

Who said he proved himself? Did Madu say it himelf, or did Bob say it?
Not saying that he didn't prove himself mind you.
Another reason:
Chris Brown > Demarco Murray
:D
So true. As a pure running back yes.

Sounds like DM maybe went a little too hard on it at practice after being out of full-contact since last December. Brody Eldridge has done this twice and never had any surgeries or anything more than time to let swelling go down.

8/8/2009, 01:38 PM
yah, ESPN just said he's sitting out 2 weeks
IronHorseSooner
8/8/2009, 02:28 PM
The main concern here would be contact drills; he needs to get be game ready. However, RB is a position with HIGH quality depth (Calhoun would be starting for just about any other school in the Big XII not located in Oklahoma), as well as a Mike Alstott-type FB in Clapp. If he's not ready by BYU, set him, and see what Calhoun can do. Gives some reps at KR to guys like Kinney or Calhoun, as well....If Owens is dogging it, that opens the door for a guys Kinney and Miller, who are tremendous athletes, and are very hard workers.

Murry's injuries have all been pretty freakish, not unlike AD's (breaks his damn collar bone...). Freshman year Murry dislocates his kneecap against TT, that is normally a 1 year rehab and "The injury is seldom permanently disabling and usually heals completely." There is a tu player who dislocated his kneecap towards the end of last season I believe, I don't think he's supposed to be able to play until after the season starts.
Then, last year against Mizzou in the CCG he takes a very odd hit in the opening kickoff, shoulder pad pretty solid on the thigh, tears his hamstring... That's just unlucky.
I wouldn't judge his durability based solely on those injuries. Just like I didn't judge AD's based on his injuries.
Dan
I saw this news last night on ESPN news, it said he'll be back to 100 percent in 2 weeks. Nothing to worry about, IMO

He would have 2 weeks to practice , be prepared to sit him another week unless - he is ready!

I wouldn't trust any of these reports on DM's health until I see him performing on the field. It's the way Bob handles these things and I've got no problem with it.

First off, I love Chris Brown, and he has been a tremendous player for the Sooners. You really need to ave two running backs or more, unless of course you have a once in a lifetime talent like AD, and CB has been a very productive back for us. But to say he is a better back than DeMarco is a very false statement. DM is not only a breakaway threat, but he can run it between the tackles with the best of 'em and he can also catch the ball very well.. He is a better pure running back than Reggie Bush because of his ability to run in between the tackles.. Yeah, he needs to stay healthy, but that's all a luck thing. No one is in better shape than these athletes, and any injury is just bad luck. "Injury prone" is a term I have never used, because anyone can get hurt at any time. Let's hope for a healthy season for DM, a national title and maybe even a Heisman! BOOMER SOONER!
BoulderSooner79
8/9/2009, 09:35 PM
You're correct about needing depth at running back, *including* when you have a guy like AD. AD dislocated his shoulder his freshman year (post season surgery), badly sprained ankle soph. year and broken collar bone Jr. year. But even in his healthy games, he needed to take a few series off.

Ya he seems to get hurt by the 3rd quarter every time he plays and when he is not getting hurt he is fumbling either 4 times a game or loosing the ball on the game winning drive....[in NCAA 10]
^ahahahah tell me about it! I don't know HOW MANY Times I run a stretch with him to far left or far right, when he gets hit hard, ball pops free they return it for a TD. Then he ends up injured. ahhh
