Haze_21 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 3 minutes ago, JohnC said: The scouting report that you posted describes him perfectly. He is not a great athlete but he is maximum effort player that when the film is broken down shows that he played well and responsibly. When watching a game he doesn't draw much attention because he lacks the explosiveness and flash. Without question he is the type of people and players the wrestling coach wants on his roster. I'm ecstatic. Good 3 cone and solid vert. He isnt von miller but has good measurables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are fans who are against picking Darnold or Rosen because Rob Johnson was from California. So I'm not surprised some fans cant get over 1 season, 3 years ago, where he had a few bad penalties called on him (even though a couple of them were complete BS, like when he got flagged for patting his own teammate on the helmet).

Utah John Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 This does NOT mean Lawson or Hughes is on the way out (although the way things are going, never say never). A few years ago the Bills were so stocked with D linemen they could roll out two complete four-man lines without much change in performance. Guys got old (Mario), guys left for FA (Branch), guys got rich and then lazy (Dareus). Whatever the reason, the Bills need a massive rebuild. This seems like a good signing at a reasonable price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Beane knows what he's doing on this one. Perhaps the Bills have decided to not spend money on what's left of the FA quarterback crop and will draft two quarterbacks, another Redskins thing. To those who say it will take two first round picks to move way up, why not have one of them be next year's first? Before his ACL/MCL injury, he played in all but one game in three years. @Yardsperpass put up some clips of him getting around the edge. He isn't going to be Von Miller flying off the edge, but looks like he can get around OT's with some speed and has decent hand usage. They desperately needed help at DE, so i'm happy they're doing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 3 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: I don’t remember ever watching the guy play. I just assumed that scouting report would accurately describe him. He's the type of guy whose best description is that he is a "football player." He's the antithesis of Dareus. You don't have to worry about him because he is the self-motivated type. If there is a problem it would be more due to working too hard to the point of exhaustion and obsession. He's a terrific pickup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he lacks in athleticism he makes up for in effort. He brings his lunch pail to work everyday. He’s a smart player that is the 1st guy in and the last to leave. Not a high motor - only good???

NY Nole Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Trent Murphy was suspended first four games of 2017 for testing positive to PED's -- which Murphy claims was related to a generic supplement he was taking and has since switched to a more common type. He said he couldn't even pronounce the substance that he was busted for.... Quote The 6-foot-5, 290-pound Murphy explained that his suspension stemmed from the use of what he believes was a tainted supplement. Murphy said he couldn’t even pronounce the name of the banned substance that was found in his system, but he got rid of all of his supplements and has since switched to a brand that is more closely monitored. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/football-insider/wp/2017/05/24/redskins-trent-murphy-working-to-move-on-from-disappointing-suspension/?utm_term=.a1010f67237e Also -- (from a different article) I found this interesting speaking about his 2016 season. I wonder if the PED's were related to his rapid weight gain/loss... Quote The Redskins decided to switch him to defensive end at the start of last offseason ahead of his third season. Murphy gained nearly 30 pounds as part of the adjustment to his new role during offseason practices. The team lacked depth at outside linebacker, however, after Junior Galette tore his Achilles’ tendon for the second straight year and was placed on the non-football injury list before the team reported to Richmond. With a roster relying mainly on Kerrigan and Smith at the position, the Redskins decided to switch Murphy back to outside linebacker during training camp. It forced Murphy to cut the weight he had gained in anticipation of playing defensive end, but he was still able to produce his most productive season in the NFL under then-position coach Greg Manusky, who was promoted to defensive coordinator this offseason. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/football-insider/wp/2017/03/05/redskins-linebacker-trent-murphy-is-facing-a-four-game-ped-suspension/?utm_term=.c69d47806088 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elroy16 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Stop with the Kelsay comparison, you guys are making yourselves look bad. Murphy was the top performer at the combine for 3 cone drill and is a much better pass rusher. In college Kelsay had 13 TOTAL sacks in 43 games while Murphy led the country with 15 his senior year. Kelsay never had more than 5.5 sacks in a year, Murphy had 9 his 3rd year. At least say Schobel if you're going to be that lazy about it.
