You dont think that might have something to do with the fact he hasnt had the abilty to shift direction or move sideways due to his chronic knee problems over the last couple of seasons?
If his knee has improved as much as they are saying it has then Murph can be a weapon in the forward line for us this year.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
