Re: Tell 'Em to Pack or Bring 'Em Back

I often wonder what we would get for Morris. I know people will curse me for the notion, but I feel like having a RB who can catch out of the backfield and run would benefit us more in today's NFL. Seems like teams know we are passing a lot of the times because Helu would come in.

Everybody knows Vareen is going to catch passes out of the backfield when he's in the game, and he still racks up the yards. Our problem is piss poor coaching/scheme/playcalling, not the players.

Morris and Helu should be on th field at the same time to keep the defense guessing, but instead we see WRs in the backfield with a RB. Just asinine.

That's true.. I also wonder why Morris doesn't take more screens. We always complain about the O line but it never seems that we call a game to protect them. Slowing down the pass rush with some RB screens etc. You would think with Morris vision and cutting ability he would be amazing in the screen game.

How about coaching the guy up in that area? See again... to me that's coaching. I don't take Morris off the field on a 3rd and 5 or less. Instead Helu comes in and you know it's a pass. I don't think we saw one play with Morris on a designed screen.
