After the game, KK gave defensive game balls to Jordan Phillips (played great through a difficult time for his family and well deserved) and Buddha Baker (is a one man wrecking ball).
I get those, but I think one more defensive game ball should have been given to Byron Murphy who played one heck of a game last night. He primarily lined up vs. CeeDee Lamb who is a formidable rookie WR. Had several PBU's and near interception, as well as a fumble recovery. He is really coming into his own this season and it's been fun to watch. Remember he made the play that beat SF in Week 1.
I think Reddick deserves some love too...although maybe not a game ball. He was disruptive and made some plays. I miss Chandler Jones, but I think his injury will allow us to see the best of Reddick.
Overall...great game by the D. Wonder what Bickley will say about VJ this week??

Defense has looked great the last 2 games, but keep in mind we were playing backup QBs. Hard to say they would of fared just as well against Dak. Its great to see playmakers emerging on a D that sorely lacked.
Baker was already a stud, but he's looking like the next superstar and the guy meant to replace honey badger. Loved hearing about his studying efforts.
Murphy becoming a solid starter is huge for our secondary. Peterson is noticeably slowing down and Murphy is showing enough upside to take over.
Hassan is playing like he has a big money contract on the line.

Murphy has come of age. The entire D had some swag which must have in the 2nd half.

Back up QB sure. But Dalton isn't your typical back up. PLus he still has those very good receivers to throw to. Yea. Murph should get a game ball. Reddick had a good game also. Even though it was against a back up tackle. Don't know why they took the Barbarian off the field so much. He almost had a sack for a safety.

Great game by Murphy. Having a shortage of game balls to hand out is a good problem to have.

I knew this kid was going to be good Originally predicted we would draft him a the top of rd 2 and we did. Budda Baker and Murphy went to the same college Washington. The Huskies put out some great defensive backs much like LSU.
He was put in a tough spot last year So this is his real year to shine. Byron and Budda tackle really well (know how to wrap up the WR and or runningback).
Anyway great to see Murphy play so well.

Great game by Murphy. Having a shortage of game balls to hand out is a good problem to have. KK should've given Murph a game ball instead of maybe Kyler. Murray's QB line was awful but his overall value to the win was big. Still, Murph played lights out!
