I think Morrison is going to surprise people. He got a bit too much flak from Colts fans last year, IMO. I thought he looked very solid at times. Not great against the pass, but he was pretty good against the run. I think Morrison can be a more physical version of DQ.

I thought he had potential when he stuffed Latavius Murray at the one

I insert he will be fine!

You can insert this but it's truly something that has to be considered during contract negotiations and if the team wants to take on the risk vs cap space. I sure hope he plays all 19 games this season and plays at a high level, not just out there trying to cover an injury so he can get paid.

Yikes, I have zero confidence in Scotts ability to win if he needs to play a couple games lol.......  Nice by Vontae though.  

Vontae has been a beast. Andrew is our engine and we need him, if he doesn't play on opening day - not good. I don't like our backup QB's, at least with Hass we knew he was still good.

With Moncrief's injury, Dorsett better win those 50-50 balls more often.

*inserts Moncrief injury prone post here*

 

At some point we are going to have to acknowledge that there is at least a little a little bit of truth to that, especially since we're so quick to slap other players with that label. He basically missed half the season last year, and does seem to constantly be dealing with some type of nagging injury.

You betcha, pending on if Moncrief is out for a few practices or more, Dorset will definitely need to try and shine.  Chester hasn't 100% solidified the 3rd most likely.  It's so early.

Of course, as great as that run was, its hard not to notice that he's carrying that football like a cheap loaf of bread. Which is why he wasn't drafted higher. His reputation as a fumbler hurt him.  He will have to get away from his natural instinct to hold the ball out there in no man's land when he's putting on a move or stiff arming someone. 

I'm not saying this to dump on the kid's talent. He has it in buckets. But its all for naught if he doesn't learn to protect the ball. Time will tell.

Same football...I don't see it.  I don't like to see any of our backs run like that, but he was deep into the secondary.

 

It looks like he shifts back down to 3rd gear at the 40 yard line and starts to pick up breakaway speed.  The first guy always seems to miss in open space with him carrying the rock.  That was a pretty amazing run.

Thanks for the link.

Man, the talk of Mack excites me. I really hope he is as good as advertised

 

I hope he is better than advertised as he was one of the two people we drafted that was on my board. The other was hooker. Still amazed he fell to us.

    • No, but I would love that! Is that true? Where did you hear that? I don't think that will happen. I heard that trading Herbert would result in a huge dead cap hit for the Chargers, that would make it nearly impossible to keep or sign other players.

    • Holy cow!     And then shows he should have been picked top 5 
    • This goes against everything Ballard would do, however it would be something that Irsay would love to do as he is a romantic. Probability is very very low though.
