Across his three appearances as a replacement, Macurdy's contribution is overwhelmingly defensive — his tackle count dwarfs his carrying output and his best single-game return of eight tackles signals a player who arrives on the field to shore up the defensive line. His carrying numbers are minimal, suggesting his role is narrowly defined around physicality at the breakdown and in the channel rather than ball-in-hand threat. He covers meaningful minutes for a replacement, indicating consistent trust from the coaching staff in his defensive reliability.
