blacklabel Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I searched around online and combed through the pre-game thread for the Bills/Jags game but haven't seen any info on Murphy. Just saw that Lawson and Clay weren't practicing today. Lawson has played pretty well in the DL rotation and he provides versatility in that he can switch up between DT and DE so even if Murphy is back, I'd still make sure Lawson gets some reps. Yeah, anyway, anyone know what's up with Murphy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

without a drought Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Still on the team. Actually, he had a good practice yesterday and was expected to practice today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Yeah. He's doing some good work for the community with some kind of animal donation. Football wise, no news. He's hurt. It would be newsworthy if he wasn't on the injury report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy seems like a good likeable dude but worthless if never on the field. We could be using that money on a receiver or OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like a swing and a miss on Beane. Only good news is he only has a 3.5 million Dead hit if released next year. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Yep... he got hurt in garbage time as the Bills were getting destroyed in the 4 th quarter Hate dumb oro football ball coaches and their insistence of playing starters in garbage time.

billsfan89 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 The only positive about Murphy is that his contract is fairly easy to get out of. But they could have easily spent that money on some offensive line help instead of having a injured pass rusher. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Thanks to everyone who responded, appreciate it. Murphy is kind of puzzling to me... he went 47th overall in 2014 out of Stanford and for all the "injury prone" labels he gets, he actually only missed two games over his first three seasons. Racks up 9 sacks in 2016, was a top ten pass rusher in terms of QB pressures, looked like he was poised to break out and then he wrecks his knee and misses all of 2017. Missed OTAs, camp and pre-season, plays in 7 games before getting hurt again, has been on the sidelines for four weeks but only missed three games. I know he had the PED thing as well, makes you wonder if he was taking something to strengthen himself against injury or whatever. Obviously players are signed/given deals based on their on-field production but there are off-field things that factor in. With Murphy, you can tell they brought him in here because he embodies the work ethic McDermott wants out of his players. I'm sure he sets a good example on the practice field when he's on it but yeah, hopefully they didn't end up buying a lemon here because a DL of Murphy, Hughes, Williams, Lotulelei ain't bad especially when the rotational guys are Lawson, H. Phillips, J. Phillips, and Yarbrough. Jordan Phillips is a guy I'd like to see them hang onto after the season, I think he's been a nice surprise and he's been energized for a fresh start here. However, this lineup wouldn't stop me from drafting one of these premier DL players coming up if the board falls that way. Adding more strength to an already strong group is never a bad idea. And Carolina did that when Beane was still there. They had a pretty stellar DL in 2015 (their Super Bowl run) and still drafted a DL in the first round in 2016. The draft is just so packed with really defensive players this year that it's difficult to see them NOT going defense early, simply because the value for offensive skill players won't be there until late into the first. Feels like we could see something similar to what they did in 2017 when they dropped all the way to 27th overall and still came away with a great #1 CB in Tre' White.
