Murray remains a poor fit for Eagles offense

Posted: Wednesday, December 9, 2015, 8:10 PM

Chip Kelly confirmed Wednesday that DeMarco Murray was frustrated with his playing time after the Patriots game. That raises the question: Is the running back also frustrated with the Eagles offense?

Kelly's scheme, after all, has played a significant role in Murray's decline after he led the NFL in rushing last season. There are, of course, many other reasons he is last in the league in yards per carry (3.5 average) among running backs with more than 125 rushes.

But the Eagles offense is vastly different from the Cowboys', and Kelly has tried only on occasion to incorporate some of the plays and techniques Murray was comfortable with in Dallas into his system.
