Mo Morris..any value? (1 Viewer)

It is looking like Alexander is breaking down more by the week.

What value do you see in Morris from here on in? If any?

I think his value is likely greater than SA for the rest of the year, but that isn't saying much. Holmgren is going to a 60/40 pass to run ratio going forward. FWIW I'm planning to start MM over SA this week, I expect alot of RBBC. I'm hurting at RB.

:popcorn: Pretty much my thoughts as well... that said, if you have been leaning on SA as a starter at this point, it probably doesn't matter a whole lot :thumbup:
 
bump

I think Morris could be solid if only he gets most touches, but I have to question if the HC would do that to SA, even tho IMO it's a no-brainer.

 
I grabbed him as a possible quick fix for this week. I have a hobbled Gore and seeing that they both play Monday night, I now have a guy I can insert at the last minute if Gore cannot go. Aside from that, I am not expecting big things from Morris going forward. He had a similar opportunity last year and did little with it. I believe the O-line is probably the culprit here. If you have a roster spot, go get him, but temper your expectations.

2 games he started while SA was out| 9 oak | 30 138 | 0 | 0 || 10 stl | 21 124 | 0 | 0 He didn't get in the end zone but not too shabby numbers against the "tough" Oak rush D and a soft STL team. They play SF this week I could see similar numbers as he posted in week 10 last year especially if Seattle gets up early.
 
Yeah and although very few carries this year, not lookin bad with those opportunities - and oh btw he can catch.

 
Seattle always plays big at home on nat'l TV.

that offense will explode on monday night...

i'd expect over 100 from MoMo and a lot of rec yards..

SA will be home sleeping by halftime.

 
what about Weaver? could we see his role in the offense get any bigger?
Probably not too much altough should be generally more than last week. If SA doesn't go then Weaver will spell Morris and get his few FB carries a game. And hopefully Holmgren will remember that when you only need a few feet, use the biggest back, not the smallest. Or at least let the bigger back block. Strong out means Weaver is the main FB so that limits their use of him.
 
In week 4, Alexander had 25/78/0 vs SF, thats one of the worst performances this year (vs SF Defense). Last week Dunn had 27/100/1 and overall Atlanta was 39/155/2 running the ball vs SF.

Not sure if SF matches up well with SEA or if it was just SA not running well in week 4. I do expect MoMo to do better with his YPC, but don't think he'll get 25 carries. Holmgren has already said he wants to pass more and so I could see MoMo with 100 combined yards and a 50/50 chance at TD.

As has been mentioned but need to be highlighted, is the fact that MoMo can catch. Wanting to throw more should still mean that he gets touches as I don't expect him to get pulled on 3rd downs like SA does.

I also like that he runs with some fire rather than like SA who seems scared most of the time.

I'm guessing he drops 145 combined and a TD on 22 touches tonight.

 
I think Morris will have 22 carries for 100 yards and a td. I think them opening up the passing game can only help the run game. Teams have been loading up the box, expecting the run, and Seattle has struggled running the ball consistently. If they can hit several big pass plays, they can open up some running lanes and in upcoming games, teams will have to game plan differently by pulling LB's and DB's away from the line.

On a side note, I am hoping Morris has a huge night so I can try to trade him and SA. It is brutal trying to trade SA in a dynasy right now but if Morris looks real good I can sell him as the future. (sounds good anyway)

I'm working on dealing MoMo and SA and some other stuff for Marion Barber and Lee Evans. If All Day Peterson is hurt I think I can deal Barber and a WR for him in my keeper league.
 
bump for general SEA RB discussion -

What I saw of Morris last night was pretty underwhelming, but didn't see the whole game (not that it mattered vs the SF Pee Wees). Is SA due back this week? Any news/rumours/more thoughts on these 2 going forward (other than the obvious ie don't expect much)?

Just wondering the same thing. Last I heard SA was supposed to be back this week, but his injuries have been pretty chronic. Any chance Morris is the guy for a couple more weeks/rest of the year?
