Signed by Cowboys Alfred Morris is Back

[ShortRound]

Jerry what are you doing

 

[aria]

Good guy. Bad player at this point.

Not a fan of this move.

That’s my worry. I love the move or perhaps implication by signing him but I don’t trust his skills at this point.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I’m a little boggled by it too. We have “bodies” already. What does this signify.

It says that anybody can run behind this line and they're going to prove it. lol

[Direwolf63]

I guess Derrick Lassic had a better offer.

Oh well, no big deal.

 

[CATCH17]

That’s my worry. I love the move or perhaps implication by signing him but I don’t trust his skills at this point.

He’s a 30 year old back too.

 

[Rayman70]

Is Clinton Portis available?

 

[aria]

He’s a 30 year old back too.

Yeah, I would take this much more seriously if it was Ajayi.

 

[Direwolf63]

Is Clinton Portis available?

No, but OJ is.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I wouldn't be surprised if this was all one big joke by Jerry to keep the Cowboys relevant in the preseason. lol

[Mr Cowboy]

Morris was on his way to NO this morning, was suppose to sign there.

 

[Floatyworm]

No Felix Jones?

Marion Barber is only 36....Probably runs the same as Alfred right now.

Anyway...signed the wrong RB

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

"Just a camp body"
"Can never have enough in camp"

Yeahhhhh no coincidence about Zeke tho, right? Lol

 

[cern]

I think things with Zeke are more vitriolic, vituperative, and vindictive than thought. FO is clearly not happy. Take it or leave it time. The happy, go lucky Zeke isn't used to this kind of treatment. I think it's a smart move. Got a problem? Nip it in the bud.

 

[aria]

Morris was on his way to NO this morning, was suppose to sign there.

Oh....it all makes perfect sense now! So Morris was supposed to go to NO because Payton wanted him but the Cowboys figured they would trade Zeke, lose games, fire JG, then hire Payton by giving him not only Morris but whatever draft pick they got from Zeke.

Well played, Jerry! Well played sir

 

[John813]

Guess I'm in the minority that likes this. Class act person and a decent back .

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Solid signing CYA

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

But... "anybody behind this O-line...".

And boy did he!

I have a trivia question for everyone
Who had the least yards per carry behind the same Oline in 2017?
Alfred Morris
Zeke
Rod Smith

Now who faced more men in the box on rush attempts?
Alfred Morris
Zeke

 

[buybuydandavis]

They have enough “camp bodies” without him

Jackson
Pollard
Chunn
Weber


This isnt good

That's a good point.

Also, we're not signing Morris as a developmental prospect, but one who could walk in and play.

Could all just be signaling to Zeke, but the signal is what it is - that we're looking at options at RB not named Zeke.
