MrSarcasm Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I know everyone is always on Murphy(rightfully so) but I'm curious on everyone's take on how he played last night. Also what they thought of Harrison Phillips. Personally I thought Phillips played excellent. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Phillips played a lot, IIRC. I wondered during the game if they played some two-gap defense up front. just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 They both did their jobs very well. I can't think of one defensive player that didn't do their jobs exactly how the coaches wanted them too. It was about as great an execution of a game plan that one can expect. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I thought they both played really well, definitely key players in the game. Phillips played 49% of the snaps, which has to be his season high. Murphy played 31%, not bad for being a healthy scratch for the 7-8 games prior.

I think he has confidence that his knee is going to hold up. I do feel his knee at the beginning of the year was affecting his play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Vernon Butler injured early and replaced by Harrison Phillips. Daryll Johnson out and replaced by Murphy. Depth is a great thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Murphy deserves some credit, he's a veteran that's been a healthy scratch, never heard a word of complaining. He was obviously preparing for the time they called on him again and he played a great game last night. Against Lamar, you need an end to hold the edge and he did that. It was great to see.

Given that the Ravens have one of best lines in the NFL, i thought Phillips had his best game in career and Murphy did very holding edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Both Phillips & Murphy did their job last night, and they made some critical tackles. Phillips definitely played his best game of the season. Murphy brought pressure and made a great play in forcing Lamar Jackson to not find a running lane which ended in a sack.

Rocky Landing Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I think Murphy did his job exactly by the scheme they played. He didn't get a sack, but I'm assuming his job in the scheme was to keep Jackson from escaping to his right. That's a tall order, and Murphy looked like a vet. Perfect fit for that game, IMO. Phillips had, I believe, the best game I've ever seen him in. He slipped tackles (against a decent line!) in a way that I didn't think he was capable of. And, he even looked fast. Great job by both players, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 That was a great plan to contain Lamar, but it frankly would not work if the players were not athletic or disciplined enough to carry it out.

I just watched the game again and when butler went down it that first drive Philip’s came in and balled out I paused the game and rewind it to just watch him he got in the backfield over and over. He was my mvp and of course the pick 6 was huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Murphy tricked Jackson into keeping the ball on a zone read by taking a fake step inside towards the RB and then went back outside when Jackson kept it and there was nowhere for him to go as he strung the play out and Jackson lost 3 or 4 yards... For a guy who hasn't hardly played for many weeks to step up in this type of game says a lot about how he prepares and how focused and professional he is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 They both exceeded expectations. I was specially nervous with Murphy as he tends to lose contain on some plays but yesterday he was great. They play were he was 1v1 against Lamar was spectacular! He totally neutralize him. Phillips was really good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Both played well. We need to face it. Murphy played decent in last years playoff game and last night. We need to dress him again next week. He is fresh and right now we need fresh guys that are responsible in maintaining lane discipline. 57 seems lost and we can’t risk a key play while he develops. Harry had one his best games of the year yesterday. Maybe he is finally feeling healthier or maybe he is just gaining confidence but it’s coming at the right time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Murphy lost contain on one play. But was uncharacteristically solid all game. Phillips had a few nice stops and a few times he got blown out of the hole. All in all he seemed to hold up to the double team ok. He is a good rotational DT and another year removed from the knee injury should tell us more. Edge and DT and getting younger on the DL will still be priorities this off-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Am I wrong in thinking that it looks like Harry has put on some beef in the last few months? He looks bigger. I was starting to think Harry wasn't going to make it as a Bills DT but yesterday gave me some hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty98 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Both played well, Phillips had a couple key run stops where he shot the gap. Murphy I think came down on one read where Lamar kept and bounced out, otherwise Murphy played well in the read game and even got Jackson to make a mistake on the read as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloTX Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Phillips looked like the steal we got in the 3rd rd and the Kyle Williams clone a lot of us thought he could and would be.
