Morris is an actual legit feature back. McFadden has never been that in his entire career. College or pro.

So we got a better backup to Zeke should he go down and this also means Zeke on 3rd downs.

Win/win.

Exactly. Never quite understood the Morris hate. I also want to see Rod Smith get some touches this year. He doesn't go down easily and has sneaky good speed.

A little surprising but easy to comprehend, Morris was the better RB out of the 3 backups in preseason and wasn't even close.

Biggest difference is on running plays you do not need to tweak blocking with morris. Not to mention DMC is more an outside the tackle guy which is a strength for the giants.

Morris has the ability to run with power and push forward, McFadden is about getting to the edge and exploring. We do downgrade in the passing game as McFadden is a very proficient blocker and productive pass catcher.

I had a feeling McFadden or Morris would be inactive because Smith plays ST a bit shocked it is McFadden

Wow, I'm surprised they actually went through with it and made the right call.

Rod Smith plays special teams, so that's why he's active over D-Mac.

Still, the Cowboys are going to have to use Alfred Morris more in the passing game so we're not too predictable.

Morris isn't the best pass blocker and he's not as good in the passing game. Interesting situation here.

This makes me think they're gonna ground and pound. Oops, did the Giants bring enough oxygen tanks!?

He is a better runner than Morris. Can block in the pass game which Morris CANNOT. can return kicks. Morris does?????
You couldn't be more wrong.......unbelievable. Morrison is quicker and a much better blocker in the pass game
