If TM can get to 285 and retain short area quickness (getting his hands in place fast, and having a decent first step - both of which I think he has), I think he has a shot at being really good. The article indicates that certain schemes like their 3-4 DE's huge. In the trenches, bulk often is simply a substitute for strength. IF TM has the strength to "stand [a 300+ pound OT] him up, and then shed his block," he will be great. Just not sure he will have the strength to make up for the lack of bulk. |
TM would be more of a Wade Phillips (1 gap) DE in a 3-4 than a Dick Lebeau DE.
Wolf, a DE for Denver in 2015, has very similar height and weight to Murphy.
