Lost in the noise - Trent Murphy is looking and “playing” better

[BuffaloBill]

It is only OTA’s but Leslie Frazier has specifically said Trent Murphy is looking better than he did last year.  This could be a very positive development for the Bills as if he plays better in games it could mean additional QB pressure.  Time will tell if Frazier’s observations prove to be true on the field when it really matters.

Gots ta prove it to me. Hoping for better. ?

[Shooter McGavin]

I’ll reserve my judgement until he can make it through training camp healthy 

[HOUSE]

He has to play well and often or he won't be around very long.

 

[White Linen]

Hes a good player - just needs to be available. 

[Royale with Cheese]

Trent Murphy will lead the league in sacks.

 

[fergie's ire]

I have maintained hope for Murphy...and am not ready to call his signing a bust.  Often, with serious injuries like his, players are not fully recovered the first year back.  Mind you...often they never return to full speed....but I think there is hope.  Think of Carson Wentz last year....he was back playing...but never really close to his old form.

would be very nice if he was an 8-10 sack guy for us.

Eddie Yarbrough said yesterday that he is going out to AZ between mini camp and TC to train with Zo and Murphy 

[uticaclub]

It would be hard for him to look worse

[YoloinOhio]

I don’t recall a lot of his play from last year but he seemed to be mostly hampered by injury - in addition to trying to come back from the ACL, he missed a lot of time with that groin injury 

[thebandit27]

He was effective for Washington when healthy, and if he ends up being a productive pass rusher, he'll be a bargain money-wise.

[billsfan1959]

His issue has been health, not ability

[PetermansRedemption]

Good! He can play at a top pass rushing level for the 4 or so games he won’t be injured for. 

[Mr. WEO]

Looking better than.....IR?

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Playing? He’s jogging in OTAs. I guess that is better than last year

[Freddie's Dead]

I'm from Missouri on this one.

[Logic]

I like Murphy.

I think he was held back last year in a big way by his injuries. Even so, there were times where he was making a positive impact for the D-line.

I expect a nice rebound season for him this season. I doubt he'll ever be a 12 sack per year kind of guy. I think 8 or 9 is attainable, though, and that's perfectly fine for a left end.

or  you not gunna pay him?????

 

My one consistent complaint with NFL coaches..playing starters to the bitter end no matter the score. Murphy got hurt with about 3 left in that Colts disaster last year. week 7...he was improving until that point.

In before he gets busted for PEDs again
