Good interview. I like when he talks about Coach Harbaugh and vets getting complacent, IMO that's RAK saying I don't need to learn another pass rush move I'm OK. |

Re: Pick 47 Trent Murphy
So who will start at ILB for the 3rd preseason game once Robinson is done for the year? I truly hope Robinson stays healthy, but we have no depth at ILB. I feel comfortable with Riley and that Riley can make the calls. I think we're in for a world of hurt if either of those two guys get hurt.
I don't hate Murphy. Seems like a good player with a good motor. Just not sure I saw the position itself as something we should be focusing on. With Orakpo and Kerrigan starting and Rob Jackson and Brandon Jenkins as backups, I'm fairly happy with our talent at OLB. To me, this screams that Orakpo is done in DC. My guess is the coaching staff see the special teamers we picked up as backups, and potentially future starters at the ILB role. As someone else said. When we passed on Moses I was concerned. When he fell, I was far less concerned. Had we swapped those two picks I would have had less of a gripe, but still feel we could have probably made a better choice. Note: Please don't read my sig because it contradicts my above point...

Re: Pick 47 Trent Murphy
That is an utterly ridiculous statement.

Re: Pick 47 Trent Murphy
People are getting a little ahead of themselves with assuming Rak is gone. What if he has a monster season? Think they'll just let him walk if he puts up big numbers?
I know the front office was split on re-signing him, but I'm sure those that were against it could be swayed if he goes out there and knocks it out of the park. |

Re: Pick 47 Trent Murphy
Nothing wrong with have a guy in the wings if Orakpo does take his talents and leaves, but I don't see Murphy as a guarantee Orakpo is gone. It simply, and hopefully, makes it where the Skins aren't over a barrel, and can walk away if the two sides can't agree.
Nothing wrong with 3-4 solid OLB's especially when two are on rookie deals. |

Re: Pick 47 Trent Murphy
It would be a real.....boon for this team to have some fresh legs in the pass rush without a huge letoff in talent.

Re: Pick 47 Trent Murphy
im excited to see what a fully healthy rak can do. no matter the scenario, i think we benefit.
if rak plays like a beast and walks = we got a beast year out of him if rak plays decent = we can resign him for FMV if we want or let him walk if we want

Re: Pick 47 Trent Murphy
I would like to say that it's not a foregone conclusion he is gone. I may have stated that too strong. They are, however, laying the groundwork to allow for that. I think Matty is correct that it gives them leverage or in the worst case scenario an option if he leaves.
However, we have some guys coming up that will require big money. Alf Mo, RG3, and Jordan Reed will all likely require fairly hefty contracts. Not to mention Kerrigan on the defensive side.

i wouldnt pay a RB or a TE a second contract/big money unless he was an absolute stud game changer. i just dont see alfo or reed being that but they still have a lot of football to play to prove otherwise. while they are productive and important players on our team last year and this year, i do not believe they will be irreplaceable parts of our team 2-3 years from now.
