Last year Trent Murphy was probably our 3rd best player on defense. Whether that is a commentary on the rest of the players or on Murphy is up for debate, but he has made dramatic improvements every year.
I would rank Norman of course at the top, Kerrigan at 2 even though I believe Murphy was more consistent. I really hope he is ok and we re-sign him. He is they type of player who will work to rehab and get back on the field.
I believe his injury will be a huge impact because he is solid at a premium position on the D.
Really bummed about this.
