I like Wilson and think he has a bright future. Assuming he gets the fumbling thing under control. Tiki was a fumbler. Most learn some never do.

Yes the game where his ypc was 33 percent lower than his season average. His second worst performance of the year and lowest in over 2 months and 8 games.

Coincidence?

Probably has more to do with Cousins starting that game rather than Griffin. They were going to make Cousins beat them and he did. Cleveland clearly devoted their game plan to stopping Morris. And that is the sign of a good player: defenses gear up to stop him.

Morris probably had nothing to do with this little nugget: Cousins completed 15-of-19 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns after a play-action fake.

Even when healthy I still think A.Morris and L.McCoy are better then D.Murray. L.McCoy is a special back, he is very explosive, and he also has very good hands out of the back field. He's a dual threat. I watched a lot of A.Morris last year, the dude is just a bruiser. He constantly shreds defenses for 5 yards gains one after another, he hardly ever has those 1 yard runs. I feel those that say he's not that good haven't really watched the guy, because if you did you'd see he has that something little extra. Dude could be one of top backs in the league after this year.

This really depends on what kind of player you'd want on your team. I admire both McCoy and Morris but for different reasons. McCoy, though, would probably give me more sleepless nights if I was a defensive coordinator simply because he's just so darn good as a pass catcher in addition to his talents out of the backfield. Morris, on the other hand, is very physical and, though we haven't seen a lot of him, I think he's going to prove to be equally durable and productive, read option or not.

As for Murray, I still believe in him. It's hard to ignore his production at Oklahoma. The guy did everything and did so with nagging injuries throughout his final year. I think he's just been somewhat unlucky as a professional having suffered injuries that have kept him out of the lineup, but if he can stay healthy for an entire season, and if the offensive line can improve even a little in run blocking, I think he's going to change people's opinions about him. I think he can be just as productive as the other two given the chance.

McCoy is the most over rated RB in the NFL. He had a great 20 td year in 011 but struggles to turn in a 100 yard game even with combined yards. Murray was only 300 yds less than McCoy last year and only scored 1 less TD. I'll stick with him 1 more year. I'd like to put Morris at the top but I seen firsthand where his numbers got padded a little.
