1. Murphy hasn't developed like we want, but it's not like he's on year 5 languishing: jury's still out.
2. Cam is fine. He had a Jekyl-Hyde year this year, but he's fine going forward and look forward to see him with a new staff.
3. Turner had a good first half of rookie year, bad 2nd half and was more than good this year until he got hurt.
4. Battle's been great since day 1.
The rest you mentioned haven't been good, but you're being highly unfair to guys in their rookie and 2nd years. All of the guys mentioned (that were on the team, on D) improved immensely after the Stooler game, thus we know they have the capability to be better, coaching just let them down early in the year (even Stone improved quite a bit, reading plays and coverages and not looking flatfooted).
It's ok to say guys weren't performing, but the names you've chosen really aren't correct.
1. A first round pick in year two who did absolutely nothing should be very concerning ,that and he played opposite the nfl sack leader.
2. We have no idea if he'll be fine he was the worst CB in football I do believe a new DC could help tho seems like he’s a man to man CB.
3. Agree with Turner’s rookie year but he wasn’t good in year 2. He had two nice pass breakups in the Chargers game so that’s how we remember him and spin it into hurt just when he was acceding.
4. Have you seen Jordan Battle in pass coverage ?
5. Geno Stone can’t tackle to save his life and takes awful angles. It’s basic football no matter what system you’re in. Dead cat bounce at the end picked off Will Levis and Cooper Rush . When he finally played a good Qb in a Nix in week 17 him and Battle got beat deep for a huge td.
6. We had the worst D in the league and every player I mention is apparently good something isn’t adding up. Players are on 4 year deals we can’t have them going into year 3 not producing you need them playing good on rookie deals. Then if there’s a 1st rd. pick and they get hurt in year 3 like Dax Hill your in a tough position to pick up there 5th year option. Look at all the teams still standing multiple rookies having early success.
