Gap in the Middle?

Oct 10, 2022

Not the way the Garden State Herd wanted to start off there 2023 season.

 

Linebacker Darrien Murphy (@double0_surf) looks to be out for at least 8 weeks with an undisclosed shoulder issue.

 

Medical personnel has entered Murphy into the rehabilitation process and he is set for reevaluation In late November, but could possibly miss the teams entire OTA’s.

 

This could be a huge blow for that Garden State Herd defense as he (Murphy) finished the 2022 season leading the team in total tackles.


Defensive Coordinator Juan DePena (@tactical___rhino) might have a huge problem on his hands as that Herd Linebacker cores depth was very thin last year.

Hopefully Coach DePena has been beating the path and the 2023 recruiting class consist of some linebackers, or the possible loss of Murphy could reap huge consequences.
