Just how much has the Rams’ situation at cornerback changed? Just like that, Jerome Murphy, who was projected as the team’s No. 3 corner entering last season, currently shapes up as the sixth corner behind Cortland Finnegan, Bradley Fisher, Josh Gordy and rookies Janoris Jenkins and Trumaine Johnson, according to most daily team observers. We hear there continues to be speculation that the very physical Johnson could be moved to safety.
I thought that of any of the excess DBs, Murphy would be looked at to move into a safety role. He's a good hard nosed hitter that could be used to spell Mikell occasionally and maybe even step into his role this time next year. I think if Tru shows he's fluid enough they should keep him at CB, he's built to cover the likes of Sidney Rice, Michael Floyd and Michael Crabtree.
