He is saying why blame the player who has shown he is injury prone. The Bills signed an injury prone player coming off ACL. They knew who they were getting and rolled the dice hoping he has a few outlier injury free years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent also has to know that this year is his crossroads as a player. He has to go all out and hope his knee has stabilized. If he can't he won't be in Buffalo next year. The groin injury really set him back last year too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its premature. However, looking good now is still better than not standing out at all. And I have been one who thinks Murphy can be pretty good, so not raining on his parade. I think on this defense, Murphy can and will surprise some of his critics this year IF...and thats a big IF...he can stay healthy. He has talent, but injuries keep slowing him down. If he looked bad is it premature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the "period"key on your keyboard not work? Not only that, but this whole statement is just a big mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A g-g-groin, injury. Edited May 29, 2019 by eball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Frazier said in his press conference that they knew Murphy wouldn’t be healthy, or a big contributor, last season. He said they were lucky that he was even available as much as he was. He said it was a multi-year signing with Murphy for a reason. Sounds like they have much bigger expectations for him this season. Hopefully we see the pre-injury version of Murphy this season. He was a beast in that season before he tore his ACL. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 With Shaq likely to be gone next year, the Bills need Murphy to perform this year and be the guy at left DE next year. A pass rusher will be a need in free agency or the draft in any event next year. If Murphy performs, they need one guy. If not, they will need two. Yarbrough has been a decent rotational player but he isn't the answer for a major role. I remain skeptical about Murphy but I'm hoping he gets back on track for this year. He has been very good in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills signed an injury prone player coming off ACL. They knew who they were getting and rolled the dice hoping he has a few outlier injury free years. He hasn’t shown that he’s injury prone. They did sign him coming off of an ACL, just like every team signs players coming off of ACL injuries. ACL tears heal, it’s ok to sign a guy who has had one. It’s not considered “rolling the dice”. Other than that, he had not had any injuries in his career to impact availability in the NFL or college so not sure you are aware of who this player is.

He missed nearly all of his Soph year in college due to injury. He had the L ACL tear in 2017 missing the season. Last year, he injured his ankle, his R knee and his groin.

BuffaloBill Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 7 hours ago, VirginiaMike said: I believe he's scheduled for his yearly injury in week 4. I don't think we want all the eggs in the Murphy basket. He has not been hurt yearly. How about facts: https://sportsinjurypredictor.com/player/trent-murphy/6968 Finally, who said the Bills were putting “all of the eggs” in the Murphy basket? The thread simply started saying that his DC noted improvement in his “play.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
