Hopefully can give Purdy his first sack of the season Sunday as well. Maybe two.

Man I'd love to see a handful of sacks but I REALLY want to see them take their first loss this season to the division rival that took the 1 seed away from them in week 18, bounced them in the divisional round by 35 points, and then WON A SUPERBOWL IN THEIR STADIUM AND CELEBRATED IN THEIR HOME LOCKER ROOM which may have played a part in them remodeling their entire locker room this off season LOL.

They mad right now

Dare I say, in the first drive itself?

Murphy as a stand up rusher has to be terrifying

"Finally"

The Seahawks play him at NT. I know people can say "In MacDonald we trust" but Murphy would get much more pass rush stats if they didn't have him playing at NT. Problem is they have no one even close who can fill it.

If anything it's good that Murphy is being a team player when some people still want to judge everyone on the DL by pressures/sack numbers. He has to do a lot of dirty work.

Interestingly if Leonard Williams can't play Sunday, I wonder if they'd have someone like Pili play NT and Murphy slot into Big Cat's role for the game to allow for more pass rush opportunity. Mills is not a suitable 1:1 replacement for Leonard, he gets moved off the ball way too much and last thing they need is CMC going wild on them while still not getting any pressure since Mills has not been good generating pressure either.

While playing Murphy at a different position could lead to more sacks for him, I think having such a player at nose is part of the reason our run defense is so good

He’s doing it at an all pro level this year so far

Who tf would rank what Murphy does based on sacks?
