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.

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.

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

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.

And also that he doesn’t read TSW.

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
