I didn't mean to assert that he is or was a tweener. He's just an odd case. He's an end who seems to struggle at defeating blocks but who can pursue at a high level for his size. He might have a case of the "segmented mover" where he can run like a track athlete but can't synchronize his upper and lower body. I think I remember hearing a rumor about what Tomlin looks for on defense and how it was the opposite of the dreaded "segmented mover" label. By "different scheme" I meant combining Murphy with players who can defeat blocks and generate cleanup opportunities for him. Maybe he could be used for contain/edge setting/cleanup stuff and shine in a scheme that didn't expect him to be like Hubbard and get coverage sacks.
