Seahawks fan so I clicked but I loved your thoughts on everything and will add more context to games as I watch Murphy play. Without this video I’d probably never notice Murphy’s anchor move in the game
Thank you! This is exactly what I’m going for with these videos. Just want to slow the game down for people and give folks one or two things to notice in the flow of games on Saturdays and Sundays.
16:53 it looks like his knee anchor isn't as strong with the right knee on the ground. It's something he could improve and it looks like the lineman just got him at a good angle to wash him out.
Interesting catch, I hadn’t thought about the difference between which leg gets dropped! Totally agree with the latter half of the comment. This kind of move is something that will have to be honed and perfected to run with any regularity in the league
@@TimNoonan402 it really looks like there is an edge here to be exploited. If you can have DTs that can anchor two gaps by dropping to one knee at 290lbs and still explode in the backfield for QB pressures and tfl then try it.
@@YukonBloamieI need a scumbag/prodigy DL coach at an FCS school to make this his calling card so we can have this chaos trickle up into coaching & recruiting at D1 & NFL levels. Imagine the possibilities if you can recreate like 75% of Aaron Donald’s advantage with a technique. Could be incredible lol
Is this a widely spread technique? I don't recall ever seeing it. Or is Murphy just a unique athlete that he can drop to one knee to clog a gap and then explode from it to make a tackle?
I haven’t noticed this technique elsewhere, so I don’t believe it to be widely spread. It seems like something that other DLs might use as a last resort to hold their ground against a double team, but Murphy uses this as a first resort often. When studying shorter and/or lighter DLs I’m used to seeing guys compensate by getting off the snap quick, having active hands/counter moves, winning with speed/quickness, and/or consistently having low leverage out of the snap. This move is pretty unique to him. His flexibility and explosiveness makes him a rare case in being able to explode out of that low position (basically with one leg on the ground), as opposed to just burying double teams.

@@TimNoonan402 You're providing good content. It makes me think about something other than contracts and snap counts. Good shit, man!
