DeMarco Murray took some time on Thursday to come out and say what many of us are thinking about LeSean McCoy.
GET OVER IT.
In a recent interview with GQ Magazine, McCoy took a shot at Murray, who is replacing LeSean as the starting running back with the Philadelphia Eagles.
“I think Murray’s good,” McCoy said. “But I don’t see him as competition as far as the best backs. I like my game a lot.”
While some people like to give all the credit to the Dallas Cowboys’ tremendous offensive line, Murray was easily one of the best — if not the best — running backs in the NFL last season. It will be interesting to see if he can duplicate that success in Philly, but he certainly doesn’t care what the guy Chip Kelly shipped out of town has to say about him.
“At some point you’ve got to move on with your life and career. I never worry about what someone else says about me, good, bad, and ugly,” Murray told reporters Thursday, via Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com. “I can only control what I can control, and I can’t control what someone else says about me.
“It’s funny, but I don’t take anything to heart. He has his opinion, I’m sure everyone else has theirs. I’m not worried about it at all.”
McCoy has done nothing but sound bitter since Kelly traded him. We know he thinks Kelly traded him in part because of the color of his skin, but some comments Kelly made years ago indicate he prefers a runner with Murray’s north-south style over McCoy’s east-west preference.
Let it go, LeSean.
