I hope people understand that was a control question for the interview process to surprise prospects who have been coached to answer questions specifically. 

Every team does stuff like that.

I guess you enjoy the show or else you would turn the channel.

As for Murphy, he was a projected 1st round pick. He was not my choice, but to say it was a horrible choice at the time is just wrong. As for comparing him to the 1st round OT that drafted to take over for Whitt is also wrong as many experts flagged him for his unjury and othe issues. Ced was a horrible choice, after the fact playing Monday morning QB does not make you look smart, it is easy to do.

In time, we will see if Murphy can improve or turns out to be a very bad choice. This is year 3, so not like is career is over.

Were these organization so proud that they actually admitted using the dumb  ketchup question to gauge intelligence?  Paul Alexander was a bum

Sounds like he is going to try and emulate what Rashan Gary did with the packers, not a bad idea - he made some really athletic moves while rushing the passer but didn't seem to be the guy to set the edge as a DE. Will be interesting to see if they use him as an OLB.
