Since Murray has come back after week one, he's been more conservative. He's been careful with the football- no turnover-worthy plays according to PFF- and has been more judicious with his scrambling- avoiding contact and sliding the few times he did scramble.

Murray adopting conservative pocket-focused approach; no turnover-worthy plays since week one.

Murray has adopted a more conservative, pocket-focused approach under Kevin O'Connell's system. He's been careful with the football (no turnover-worthy plays per PFF since week one), judicious with scrambling (avoiding contact and sliding), and has shown restraint in tight-window throws, instead taking what the defense gives him. This represents a significant departure from his Arizona years, where hero ball and scramble-induced injuries were recurring issues. The source suggests O'Connell emphasized the Vikings' strong defense and 13-game winning seasons with a healthy QB, reducing the need for Murray to play hero ball.
