I don't know what it is this year. He really does seem to lack burst. He also limits the offense because when he's on the field. He's no threat to catch the ball unlike the other two RBs. So teams basically can just scheme to stop the run when he's in the game.

He had well over 100 yards week 1, Jones was the hot hand week 2, then he only got 6 carries week 3. A RB can't build any momentum getting spot carries throughout the game. A bellcow has to get fed.

There are a lot of good RB's that don't have the best hands out of the backfield, that's why most teams have 3rd down backs. Those are roles Jones/Thompson can fill, in addition to Jones doing his normal subbing in for Morris throughout the game.

I just hope Morris is starting week 4. And I'll leave it at that.
