“Yeah, I mean, let them sleep,” Murray said, via CBS. Our job is to wake them up and allow them to realize what’s going on out here. I think, with the addition of (2024 first-round pick) Marv[in Harrison Jr.], obviously, he’s a natural God-gifted ability to play the position of wide receiver. Mike Wilson, Greg Dortch, Trey McBride]. Man, James [Conner] and all the running backs that we have, our O-line, I think a lot of people started to see that last year, we play hard. We play the right way, and you just keep adding weapons to that, and another year into the system with [offensive coordinator] Drew [Petzing] calling the plays, continuity growing. I think the sky is the limit for this offense, for sure.”
