He can take over in the middle of the field and lead a defense because of this. His burst enables him to make a ton of big plays that will be able to change games. Against the ass Murray's speed and burst help him to cover tight ends and running backs effectively as well. Currently Murray has problems taking on blocks and recognizing the development of plays, but he has the traits to become very good at those things it will just take some time for him to be coached.
