Brian Murphy made an immediate impact in his 1st season as Special Teams Coordinator for the Vikings in 2009 after spending the previous 3 seasons as an assistant coach for the Vikings. The return and coverage units along with the kicking game was a key element in the Vikings NFC North title team that advanced to the NFC Championship game. The 2009 Vikings special teams units ranked #9 in the respected Dallas Morning News analysis by veteran NFL writer Rick Gosselin after finishing #25 in 2008.

Murphy oversaw a group that sent a pair of players to the Pro Bowl- coverage man Heath Farwell and return man Percy Harvin. Farwell returned from knee surgery that cost him all of the 2008 season to resume his leadership role on the special teams. Harvin burst on the scene as a rookie with a pair of kickoff return TDs, setting a Vikings record as the only player with 2 kickoff return scores in a season or a career.

Bring in Darius Reynaud!

    • Terrible?  No doubt he was Sunday.  Will he ever get gud?  No clue. Listening the Panther's Playbook (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K8QW-k4du0) the guys made an excellent point:  there is no trust. Bryce isn't trusting his line, WRs or the system.  That's not good at all.  When Bryce has trust, we see what happened after the bye last year.  The biggest question is "where did the trust go?" That's something that Canales and Co. need to figure out ASAP.  Look, I think Bryce is a nice guy, and I'm glad he's generationally wealthy.  But I want my Panthers to succeed.  If he's the guy to do it, great.  If not, be the guy we need to help us get that top 5 pick.  
    • I'm surprised by the grades for Turk + Moehrig because during the game they seemed to always be in on a tackle before Turk left the game. Bryce's grade surprises me as well, but seeing some PBLK grades... Corbett - 27.7 Nijman - 38.4 Chuba - 27.1 Dowdle - 14.0 Thank goodness for the guards and TMo. TEs did okay in PBLK as well, but their RBLK grades were horrible (Tremble 34.5, JT0 56.4). TMo had a rough RBLK grade as well (48.8).
    • Solid is stretching it.  Rozeboom frustrated the hell out of Rams fans.  Not as bad as Reeder, but close.  LB was a known issue going into this week and it showed in a huge way.  And Wallace was a high ceiling but super raw LB prospect.   Moehrig's slipups were surprising.   But yeah, Evero's playcalling and personnel deployment is super annoying.  He likes playing light in the box which is nonsense given who we brought into our front-7.
