I noticed in Jene's every down backer thread he is no longer listed as an every down backer, coming into the year I was not very high on him and now even less so, whats his value going forward, and does Daryl Smith get moved up a bit?

Did anyone watch the SD game? Wondering if Morrison moved into the nickel package after Durant was hurt.

This guy is doing very little. Any reason to expect improvement?

 

[TheArchitect]

Any word on whether morrison's moving back into the nickel packages with durant sidelined???

I can pretty much guarantee that the starter, Russell Allen, won't be in nickel.

I'd put the likelihood of Morrison playing nickel above 90%.

Possible, but that would suggest a change was made in practice this week. Allen played in the nickel last week.

Five tackles against the Eagles is decent. Considering they pass about 80 percent of the time. He also just missed getting credit on a sack, one I thought he got the first hit on Vick on.

I do think he got credit for more tackles in Oakland than he's getting in Jacksonville. I don't know. I think some stadiums get some homer scoring.

I'm going to give him until Week 8 to get straightened out.

Started the first series as the outside nickel backer, but wasn't there the rest of the game. May not be comfortable yet, possibly with the game plan against Vick, as he was looking to Smith for help on a couple of those snaps.

What's going on with Kirk Morrison, will he get it back on track?

Morrison hasn't played in subpackages since Week 7. His numbers against two of the better matchups in the league over the past two weeks suggests that he's not even a trustworthy LB4 in those weeks where he might get on the field for more than 40 snaps.

 

[jsharlan]

I dropped him a few weeks ago, seems the Raiders were right all along.

I think sometimes we blur NFL value and FF value.

Morrison was a FF stud for several years with Oak, but maybe he wasn't really that valuable to his NFL team afterall?
