Sure enough on that play Murphy does a good job of knifing in to get initial pressure on McCown but he doesn't get home, McCown escapes, buys himself all kinds of time, looks off the secondary and finds the target for a TD.
It's more aggressive, which I like. Reading the eyes means earlier breaks on the ball and more INTs. But if there's no pressure it will mean more big plays given up, that's the part you have to live with.
Good thing we signed JUNIOR GALETTE.
