Murphy reminds me of Camon (R.I.P.), always looking to make the big hit and not wrapping up.

Speaking of big hits.....someone PLEASE put the hit Murphy laid on Kansas #10 on youtube.   :o

ronnie lott made the big hit and the big tackle

agreed.  he has been awful at tackling this year.  it appears that he is doing his best Deion Sanders impression.  i mean he doesn't even extend his arms to attempt to tackle.  the best evidence was on the last drive when he was coming up on Reesing at the KU sideline.  he went flying into Reesing and bounced right off of him. 

deion was a super cover guy

no one would catch a pass on deion

murphy doesnt cover or tackle

He also had 9 tackles against UCF and 8 last night... maybe we should cut him a little slack considering he's leading the D in tackles.

Thank you.

He'll be fine ... I have no major concerns. Seen too much of him, it's not like he's a FR, we know he's good. He just needs to be sure he WRAPS them up ... and he will. He had too many hits and no tackles, as with a few guys. As a team, we didn't tackle well at times.

Go BULLS !!!

That he has so many tackles is indicative of how often opposing offenses are getting into our secondary.

Kid is playing hard and playing his *** off... just want to see him wrap up more instead of going for the big hit all the time.

Everyone wants to be on Sportscenter's Top 10 Plays.  Just make the tackle.  Coverage wise, I'm more worried about Roberts than Murphy.

The tackling overall last night was pretty pathetic at times.

Was it me, or was Murphy never even ATTEMPTING to use his arms to tackle an opposing player?  I must have seen a dozen times when he just tried to pop the guy to force the fumble, only to watch the guy bounce away and pick up more yards.

Not to bring down the room after a great win, but that was one thing I watched all night that really irked me.

he needs to be benched until his technique improves

our guys should have covered much better also

Bench the leading tackler on the team?!?!?  I suppose we should bench Grothe for fumbling after getting mugged... maybe we can bench Selvie too, after all he only has one sack (that's still one more than Smazz has).  Murphy has been all over the field the last 2 games, he's been a disruptive force on the field. 

I agree with EatsIt, he does need to worry more about wrapping up than making the big hit... I seem to remember that Mike Jenkins had to learn that lesson his Junior season too.
