Morris is Peyton Hillis v. 1.1.

Does anyone think picking another TE means Cooley is more likely to get traded for future picks?

[quote=RedskinPete;694133]That nice but how do you great three TE on the field at one time on most plays?[/quote]


Jumbo package! Bring Lorenzo in and make Albert the fullback!!

Go to 1:30 for a ridiculously awesome catch. Red zone machine.[/quote]

I think you are right. A fullback who can block well and catch passes is a real plus in Shanny's offense. If we play him at FB, I say great move.

me too, if it's just a blocking te i say fail. damn there goes lefevor to da bears

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

I really like this pick.

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

cbs says that he is a decent pick who should "catch a lot of balls out of the backfield and be a redzone target" so im guessing fullback

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

We take another pass catching TE? WTF?????????

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

His production is off the charts. Double digit TDs and 600+ yards in each of the last two years. Sellers will be cut. Portis will be happy again.

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

I'm a bit confused by this pick.

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

Ciron Black is still on the board...he'd be a good one this late I think.

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

Morris is obviously a good player - he definitely will be in great hands under Shanahan, and not to mention with help of Cooley and Davis, who are awesome TEs! Do we really need another TE? No but Shanahan and Allen have so much knowledge of football than all of us altogether.. Before we start to screaming Vinny 2.0, shouldn't we wait until we see their plans before we decide to cut their heads off or not..

Obviously Shanahan didn't think highly of those players that we all wanted..

OK, I feel better now. Lining this guy up at TE on running plays will make all of our RBs better.

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

[quote=mlmdub130;694136]ok i've calmed down a bit and he does look like a solid fb blocking te so i guess he will back up sellars for now[/quote]

I think what Shanahan is looking for, at least on offense, is guys who are nasty. Trent Williams as most of you already know is a finisher. This guy is no different. I mean anyone can put together a highlight tape but in watching him I'm very impressed.

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

[quote=GTripp0012;694132]I don't think any of us are smart enough to appreciate the genius of Mike Shanahan.[/quote]

thats what i was alluding to.

after some thought, watching some video and lots of breathing, this guy at fullback could be solid. like others have said, he seems to know how to block, and he could be money in the redzone.

yeah the title of te is fruadulent, cause he is a fb, hope he pans out. who knows blount might be available in the 7th

He looks more like a fullback with his body type, and he has really good hands. My favorite attribute is his blocking ability. Shanny is definitely looking at him as a FB IMO. Backup FB probably comes down to D. Mo or Eddie Williams.

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

I watched a few of the videos shown and it helped a little bit.. I still don't understand how we picked a TE that wasn't at the combine, wasn't in the top 15 for that certain position and someone even Mike Mayock avoided making a comment about in his nfl.com analysis.
Another interesting comment: [url=http://walterfootball.com/offseason2010was.php]WalterFootball.com: 2010 NFL Offseason Page - Washington Redskins - Team Needs, Season Preview, Free Agents, Salary Cap[/url]

Now I know we will not trade Cooley, Fred Davis is our future Cooley and we signed a blocking TE. I'm sure that this guy is either projected to be a fullback or simply just "competition". I just can't imagine a guy coming from such a disregarded college football program doing any of form of blocking in the NFL.

I have faith in our coaches none the less.

lefevour seems pumped to be a bear looks like it was his team growing up, pretty cool, good luck to him

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

I don't get why anyone here wants us to draft a quarterback? The strongest QB class in the last 5 years you could argue will be in 2011. I think too many people cross their fingers for that next "gem/Tom Brady" in the 5-7th rounds. Let's think about it, we have Donovan who will start. Rex Grossman will back him up should he miss out on some games and Colt Brennan is better than anybody we could possible still draft.

Then again, we did just draft a TE?!?!

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

Redskins own the 7th round.

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

Morris was driving dudes into the ground left and right, he's quick, has good hands and throws other football players around like rag dolls.

Alright 7th round coming up soon.. What could we possibly expect? If it was me I'd go full out LB's. After Fletcher's gone we'll have nobody but Blades to know the system well enough to be a leader a ILB.

I don't think anyone on the team is experienced in Haslett's system.

It's not about the coaches.. It's about the players on the field who lead the team. Coaches set up the schemes blah blah blah, but Fletcher is what made our defence 10th overall.

Doe anybody else want to comment on why we have 2 staight years of drafting and still only 2 picks on offensive or defensive linemen.

Last year its Orakpo and this year is Williams. 1 choice for each line. Is Vinnie still consulting this team?

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

Selvish Capers or Dennis Landolt. Fix the o-line!

Re: The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7
 

You see Dennis Morris' catch on 1st round pick, Kyle Wilson (NYJ)? This dude is a receiver! He's has bulk but he's not squatty! He could be our flanker for sure.

If motivation alone is all I needed to do something competently, then developing other skills is totally unnecessary.


And Haynesworth kept it from being a total bottom-feeder.
