Morris has underwhelmed this year, which is unfortunate. He seemed like the perfect fit to our ZBS.

Yeah, Morris is a good dude and I was excited to sign him as a backup, but he's lost his first step or something. He's not the same guy he was when he was having success.

Not sure if Emmit was the starting RB for the Dallas Cowboys at 21 years old.

Yes, he was.

 

[Redball Express]

What exactly did Morris do? I noticed he didn't seem to get his traditional 3rd series against the Giants either.

If DMAC is ok..

can play and contribute..

I suspect he will be resigned next year and ,Morris released.

Morris is not running hungry at all..

hasn't all year.

It's not obvious cause it's wrong........Zeke needs to eat.....we need to feed him

All those 3rd downs and two minute drill plays with Dunbar were a waste.......Dunbar isn't Sproles and never will be

Zeke is already better out of the backfield than Dunbar or DMC

Losing because we rested a 21 year old is a classic case of circumcising a mosquito

because he is 21 means he does not get tired...injured...beat up?

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

Yes, he was.

OK...wasn't sure. How do they stack up at this point. Doesn't Zeke already have more touches and yards than he did his entire rookie year?

In Emmitt's rookie year (1990) he had 241 carries, 937 yards, and 11 rushing TDs.

He also missed all of camp as a holdout

The are all a dime a dozen

Zeke
















Morris/DMC







Dunbar

I remember that.

 

[Nightman]

I remember that.

He had 2 carries Game 1 and 6 carries Game 2

He then had over 400+ touches for the next 7 years

Let all the wanna be coaches on here explain why Morris is better than McFadden and he just needs to find a rhythm.

Yeah tell that to his 3.6 yards per carry the last 2 years.

 

[jrumann59]

Dunbar is a key special teams player, better receiver, and better 3rd down back than Morris.

yes because evidence this year shows that dunbar is any of those except being on the field for obvious passing 3rd downs.

Morris does not get tackled by a blade of grass on every run.

 

[Thomas82]

He had 2 carries Game 1 and 6 carries Game 2

He then had over 400+ touches for the next 7 years

He also had 2 less 1,000-yard seasons because of David Shula and Bruce Coslet.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

We probably could have gotten a draft pick from Green Bay while his stock was still high...

We wouldn't want to see morris on that team.
