Should Alfred Morris get 1st team reps next game

[Ring6]

McFadden got all the 1st team reps last night.

I think they should give Morris the next game with the 1s just to see him work up a lather. Even if Zeke gets a few carries to start things off.

I don't see how they can evaluate him without the first team line.

Well, don't wear him out, he is probably our starting back.

I'm okay with that, though I still think that McFadden gives us the best chance to win.

It seems the team agrees with you for now. I'd like to see what happens if Morris looks good doing it though. It would be a boost to see someone step up in that group. Some writers think McFadden did well last night. I just didn't get a fuzzy from it.

 

[Risen Star]

Yes. Morris is a workhorse back. He'll play his best with more work and he'll give you the most between the tackles. He needs to be the starter once Zeke's suspended and eventually banned for life.

McFadden is a change of pace back. If Zeke's playing then you want McFadden complimenting him and not Morris.

McFadden is my starter as of now just for his receiving skills from the backfield.

And, he's just got a higher pedigree than Morris.

I don't like the mix we have @ RB right now...considering we are a RB by committee for the 1st 6 weeks...

Starter...McFadden
Split carries...younger back....
3rd down...someone else>Hillman....Denard Robinson....Travis Greene...Shane Williams-Rhodes
Spot reps...Rod Smith

I don't understand why people want Morris over DMC. Both of these guys are veterans we KNOW EXACTLY who they are. DMC has proven to be better. Morris is an avg 3.something yards per carry RB. Morris will be a good back up to DMC. Its nice having the depth. But let's stop pretending or hoping that Morris is some how better now than he has ever been. How do we not remember how terrible Morris looked last season? How do we not remember that Morris was passed on a depth chart by a bum named Matt Jones.

I heard we are holding out all starters until the 7th game of the season.......

Well McFadden is probably our new starting RB for the first 6 games so you don't want to get him hurt, so I would give Morris most of the preseason work.

Of course Zeke could win on appeal.....LOL

Yea, right

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Morris will give you small gains but as the game goes on then gains start growing. I hope he does get the first team carries but I don't think it's a Rb competition they all have their roles.

 

[StylisticS]

Yes. Start Morris because McFadden is anything but special . Or good.

He used to be...I just don't see him carrying the load anymore...w/o wearing down after 6-8 carries.

Ha! And most of them not by choice!!

 

[haleyrules]

Both McFadden and Morris will have a role. Can McFadden stay healthy.

 

[Aven8]

Ha! And most of them not by choice!!

Nope. JG is playing conservative. The coddle continues......

 

[Texas_Pete]

Yes - Hillman should get the leftovers. Both backs have experience in ZBS. I don't think DMC runs well in this scheme unless the hole is 10 yards wide.

It doesn't matter. DMC and Morris have been in the league for years and know how to play the position. They will mix it up while Zeke is gone. All they need is The Great Wall to do their jobs.
