I saw maybe a couple flashes, but was very unimpressed. Just that..
Who else is worried about Byron Murphey?

I think I saw he had more pressures than Aaron Donald as rookies. Just saying.
Edit- it was actually pass rush win %.

OMG he wasn’t all pro in his rookie season. No player ever takes a season or so to reach their potential. If they aren’t the best at their position out of the gate we are in serious trouble.

Byron Murphy was taking double teams most of the year. Maybe look at what Leonard Williams was able to do with Murphy drawing attention.

I was under the impression he was playing out of position as an NT out of necessity

Sol….I received similar responses back in the day when we drafted LJ Collier.
Anyways…I do think Murphy’s career trajectory will be much different.
At least, fingers crossed.

I would like to see Murphy lose about 15 lbs, get down to 285 and play a penetrating 3 tech and draft a 0/1 tech. If you keep Murphy at NT he will never improve stats wise

I think I would be more worried about someone who is worried about Byron Murphy than I would be worried about Murphey.

As NT he played again some grown ass men. IIRC the defense still played better with him on the field.
I expect him to have a better season with another year of NFL level strength and conditioning, more scheme familiarity and another training camp under his belt.

If by "more" you mean "less than half". Bustron Murphy had 21 pressures to Donald's 45.
Are you sure you didn't read that Murphy had more than Donald had last season? That's probably correct.
I will keep posting this til it sinks in. overall a better rookie year than the beloved Jalen Carter here. One of the better rookie years in 10 years. and was primarily an NT. it would be nice to start moving him around a bit since he was doubled teamed so much.

Worried? Fans don't get benched/cut from teams when players don't perform.

Nailed it. This is what I was thinking of when I misspoke.

For one he was out of position. Two, he was double teamed most of the time. Three, his game wasn’t QB pressures/sacks. He’s a run 1st that has plenty of time to develop his pass rush.
Not at all worried, extremely young. I thought he played well and should get better in time.
