Can we put a Fork in Myles Murphy Now?

This is why as has been stated by others he should be getting a ton of snaps from now until end of the season. See what he's got? 

My opinion as of now is he's a rotational depth piece at best.

I posted my observation from a game earlier in the season, on a few plays in the first Ravens game, both Hill and Murphy defeated their blocks and were in open pursuit of Jackson. BJ Hill, a larger and heavier man, appeared to be running in fast forward compared to the slogging Myles Murphy. My point is that as a DE in the NFL, if you don't have any closing speed to speak of, what good are you?

After buying into the offseason news that Murphy had worked on adding muscle and strength to prepare for a bigger role in the defense, I'm less than impressed with the results on the field. We don't know how Cam Sample would have looked this year, due to him missing the entire season with injury, but I am still seeing DE as a major need for the team either in free agency and likely also in the draft.
