In some instances, the defender used all or part of his body weight to land on the quarterback immediately after the ball was thrown. These actions put the quarterback at risk for injury. The Officiating Department will emphasize that the defender is responsible for avoiding landing on the quarterback when taking him to the ground.

When you think about weight you should think in relation to height. 10 extra pounds on Murray’s 5’9 to 5’11 frame could slow him down it’s not like being 6’3 190 and adding 10 pounds. I’m not really concerned with Murray taking hits because of his weight, you’re either good enough to play in the league or you’re not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being good enough to play and being able to get on the field to show how good you are....2 different things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray has already put on appx 20 pounds since high school. Hes still athletic and he could add a lil more weight to help him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of which bodes well for a pint sized QB like Murray in the NFL. Especially not for a guy like Murray who relies a lot on his raw athleticism and running ability to set things up for his arm. Unless he's an absolute wizard when it comes to avoiding contact like Russell Wilson, he's going to take a lot of hits in the NFL. Big ones. Legal ones. Illegal ones. He's going to get crunched a bunch if he wants to maintain that running ability as a threat. Even guys like Wilson, Brees, Mayfield who are really good at avoiding it...get hit hard at times. And in his 1 year as a college starter...Murray ran for very slightly less yards than Wilson or Mayfield did over his entire 4 year NCAA career. Running is a much bigger part of Kyler's game. He's much more like a pocket-sized Cam Newton than he is a Russell Wilson/Baker Mayfield type. I don't have a ton of confidence in a guy sustaining the kind of beating Newton takes at like...half the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Yeah, Murray is tricky. I love his game though. Will be interesting how the next few months go. I'm just happy we're getting a guy who has a good track record with QBs and going away from a status quo hire. I feel like DeFlippo brings an entirely new mindset than Marrone which can be good as long as they work well together/Marrone let's him do his thing.

How Doug and DeFilippo work together is going to be key. Can't have guys pulling in different directions within a staff. That's a recipe for dysfunction. That's where i don't mind this hire, as it seems like there's a pretty clear hierarchy to it. Doesn't feel like a guy who is going to be a threat to "take over" at this stage. Which looked like a potential problem with a couple of the names floated at various points. But we are still getting what looks like a pretty fresh/different perspective into the coaching room. Which was obviously badly needed on that side of the ball after all the sorta "status quo" internal promotion type stuff we've gone through looking incredibly stale.
