The allusions are over, apparently they are now saying openly they want him to get bigger to move inside.
Keim said as much on Cooley's radio show yesterday. Keim compared the change to the one Justin Smith went through in SF. Murphy is really tall but he seems like he has a different build than Smith and seems lanky. Not sure how that would work. He is strong against the run though at OLB.
Would he be a better rotational player at DE than OLB, who knows?
