After Fred Peters went down with a season-ending injury, Marcus Murphy now finds himself as the elder Bulldog in the secondary. I feel Murphy is ready for the leadership role as he has the talent and intangibles necessary to be a coverage and run-stopping safety. Murphy will have to make quick decisions to help his team win.
He will have to show excellent eye discipline on play-action passes to ensure he does not get beat deep. Murphy will also aid in containing Najee Harris as well. I feel he will be up for the challenge.
