Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray thinks he should be in consideration for equal playing time with Dalvin Cook this season, and that is fine news for all fans of the purple-and-gold.
“We’re here to compete against each other (he and Cook) and that’s what I’m going to do,” Murray recently told the Pioneer Press. “I’m going to leave it up to the coaches to make that decision who plays or whatever but we both want to compete and make each other better and help this team win.”
Those aren’t exactly fighting words from Murray, but there are at least somewhat challenging, and no doubt encouraged by head coach Mike Zimmer and new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo.
