Hope he continues to play at this level. Heard him on the afternoon show here locally last night and love his confidence. He brought up how he had been fooled earlier this season on a flea-flicker play and wasn't falling for that again.

I would say very CB has. :)
Very much so! I know it's a long season and we've only seen a small sample size, but I've been very happy with our secondary and especially CB play. I still feel absolutely justified in doubting Keim, because counting on all the wild variables that had to break perfectly to indeed break perfectly is a bad recipe for success. While it still might "break bad," I'm hoping it only gets better from here.

Murphy get's injured and we are in big trouble.

Would that be the same Byron Murphy that some projected as a 'disaster' outside?

Just checkin'
Biggest #fakenews of the offseason.

Murphy played league average last season and the idea HE was a disaster wasn't based on actual metrics.

Where you saw troubles, I saw numbers. The CB strategy wasn't to rely on 1 good player, 1 meh player and a bunch of fringe roster guys like we have seen in the past.

Murphy has allowed a 53% comp rate so far. Which is good.

P2, who he has replaced, has allowed 80%.
Hopefully they can keep it up. Lots of people on here said "the sky was falling" as far as our CB room.
Addition by subtraction when it came to Peterson. There was a handful of posters, myself included, that said our CB's would be better just because Peterson was gone. So far that has held true.
