Lane Johnson walked into the Eagles' locker room last Sunday wanting DeMarco Murray to rush for 200 yards against Murray's old team. That's a high standard, but Johnson has been part of an offensive line that has opened the way for more rushing yards than all but one team the last two seasons. The Eagles haven't been perfect in his career, but they've usually been able to block.
When Johnson sat at his locker after an inept rushing offense totaled only 7 yards in a loss to the Cowboys, no rationalization was offered. Johnson hoped Murray would top 200 yards.
