Derrick Morgan - speculation Dallas *signs with Titans*

[CATCH17]

We need as many solid DL as we can get with a stud thrown in.


Hopefully we land Hardy and 2 more guys that are a step above Jag.

 

[cowboyschmps3]

left Tampa without a deal. Speculation Dallas is next. Saw on ESPN.

Hope so

 

[Zordon]

We are building through the draft not free agency. We are being fiscally responsible.The RIGHT way.

that's no excuse to pick up scrub players. keith rivers is a scrub.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Wonder if you thought the same after hearing the names Hitchens and Moore last year.

Or when they picked up Justin Durant who no one wanted and Jeremy Parnell off waivers from the Saints?

 

[Zordon]

"softest linebackers"? Really? Durant, and especially Carter were both injury prone. Your and rants and raves, per usual, are premature. Why can't you wait and see how free agency and the draft shakes out before you step out on the ledge?

yes really. ask bengals and bills fans. heck just google keith rivers soft and tell me what you find. these aren't rants and raves, i'm just commenting in real-time. you tell me to wait till after FA/draft...I guarantee you will tell me to wait till after preseason. there is never an appropriate time to criticize for the pumpers.

 

[Oh_Canada]

I'd rather have another Yellowjacket in Michael Johnson.

They could technically get both. I like Morgan better personally, higher upside.

In 2014, Morgan led the Titans with 6.5 sacks & also had 16 Hurries.

From the Titans site.....

"Morgan is an explosive defender equally adept at rushing the passer and stopping the run. Morgan has a reputation as a gritty player with a non-stop motor, and he has the ability to play on either side of the defensive line or at outside linebacker."

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:
• In 2013, Morgan finished second on the Titans with six sacks and eight quarterback pressures.
• In 2012, Morgan led the team with 6.5 sacks and 19 quarterback pressures, while also posting a career-high 66 tackles.
• In 2011, Morgan appeared in 15 games and led the team with 20 quarterback pressures. He also tallied 47 tackles, 2.5 sacks, three tackles for loss and two passes defensed.

Didn't Quite Get There Derrick.

More Needed Morgan

Maybe Next Time Morgan

(I'm such a child. Now I'm going to be playing this game in my head all night. Thanks guys.)

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

I'm telling you in this scheme under a motivator like Rod he could be a gem .

 

[Kaiser]

Or when they picked up Justin Durant who no one wanted and Jeremy Parnell off waivers from the Saints?

Add Mincey to that list.

Pumpers, LMAO. Thanks for keeping it real bra.

Missed It By That Much Morgan?

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Morgan , spiller , re-sign McClain that'll be our offseason . I'm calling it now !

From Morgan's draft profile at NFL.com

"Morgan is an extremely productive defensive end with a good combination of size and speed who fits in a 4-3. Shows great range in run pursuit. Has been a very steady, consistent performer. Is an explosive tackler. Has great pass rushing instincts and now has a variety of moves. Plays with a lot of toughness and intelligence at all times."

Morgan measured in at 6-3/266 with an arm length of 34-1/2". Aside from Hardy...Sheard & Morgan are the two free agent DE's I wanted the Boys to pursue.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Rush. Man.

Yep. Marinelli could fix him, despite his awful education.

 

[SuspectCorner]

Don't they have any big mean and ugly DEs available in FA? I bet this guy has all his teeth, too. Not liking.

 

[JBS]

I would not hate Morgan at a reasonable rate.

This all gets better if the Cowboys take the money they were willing to give Murray and sign 3 or 4 defensive starters.

It all got better the moment Murray signed in philly

 

[gimmesix]

6 sacks each of the last 3 seasons playing out of position @ olb . He could have some upside in this scheme.

Just at six sacks per season, he's an upgrade to the production we got from left end last year. Some fans think it's all about getting studs in FA, but the best way to improve is to upgrade what you have/had. We might have a hard time doing that with Murray, but the rest of what we've lost is definitely upgradeable.
