For example, the most elementary of pass rush moves, the slash 'n rip, and the swim require no precision shifting of bodyweight like the spin, and lead right into what a quick twitch guy like Murphy is trying to do.
He has moves, he doesn't have a plan. Most guys in the NFL can hit the moves but there is an art to setting it up over multiple plays and then the counter moves. Rookie rushers rarely have a whole pass rush plan. Murphy is raw because he only has on move that he constantly can win with. He needs to develop counters and also figure out how to set guys up over time.
I do think as some have mentioned here, letting him rush from inside is interesting. The look we saw Garret give us of a wide 9 set and him standing over the center is starting to catch on across the league. A lot of teams are doing it and I think Murphy could find some success rushing over the center.
