Vernand Morency Projections (1 Viewer)

[rascal]

Lundy allowed Carr to get creamed by Chauvus. They won't tolerate that.

Morency looked like he wouldn't need a short ydg. or goal line back to spell him if he were playing. He looks fast, quick, and strong.

You guys can watch Lundy and Morency both run if you want. One guy looks like a rookie and the other guy doesn't. No commericals or filler...get it while it is up (I didn't host this...so don't look at me)...just sharing.

Chitown - do you have any feelings about how this will shake out if Davis isn't able to go? Right now, from the very limited amount i have seen them both (can't watch the above video at work) i have a feeling Morency would get the bulk of the work and could put up very good numbers this year.

If he holds up I think he will. Morency played baseball for two years and if he can be a real NFL back and play hurt and give that effort every week I think he is the man. I'd compare his skill set and body type to Garrison Hearst. I posted this at my site earlier...The thing I like about Morency is his high end ability to make defenders hesitate in space with is explosive change of direction skills. I think he has grasped the concept of using his ability at the second level and run the play as designed till he gets there. You can't get on Sports Center if you can't get to the second level anyway, so you may as well listen to the coaches.

In the future I'd love to see Morency start and Dom Davis come in as the 3rd down back or obvious passing situation back. This would limit his carries and would extend his career. Lundy is the Gary Brown of the backs. Brown is the guy I was thinking about when I was watching Lundy run Saturday night. He seems to have good balance, a good feel for body language, is big and strong, but not so big he can't get his quick feet moving (Lundy has those quick feet Wells was missing). Brown had some good years and was a great reserve but as a starter you felt like you could do better.

Morency = every down back

Lundy = 3rd down back

Thanks for the reply and your insights!

Not unless he plays O-line.

I remember seeing some highlight footage of Morency when he was a draft prospect and was left with a pretty lasting impression. I can't seem to find any footage of him now though, except for the preseason games. If anyone has anything, I'd love to see it. I see him as having a very high ceiling.

Lots of good material here.

My Vernand Morency projections:

1175 yards rushing

325 yards receiving

10 TDs

SOD!!!

Helluva convenient quote there, abrecher.

From that VERY same article Houston Chronicle, August 20:

<snip>

This is the guy the Texans probably thought they'd never get. They surely didn't think Morency could change a lifetime of habits.

Because he did, the Texans can look at this position differently.

Glad you posted it because man, was that a slanted snippet. In fact, it only shows that all the talk of him NOT fitting was earlier, and not RECENT. Gotta love the blogger posting slanted info is that's what abrecher took this from.

I think abrecher knew what he was doing. There are several current articles out saying the same thing. To post it and suggests he either has not kept up with this issue/story or he realized what he was doing. I would suggest that anyone following this situation knew that blurb he posted was out of context. There are only four or five other threads in last week with similar posts/discussion.

Now traded for a UDFA.

 

[THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA]

Man im losing all FAITH in this damn organization.

1st- Losing all the games on purpose (which was kind cool sine we wasnt gonna win #### anyways. and then Bush was on the horizon)

2nd- Picking up D.Carr option (he's horrible)

3rd- Passing on Bush

4th- Not trading the 1.01 pick for multiple 1st rounders (to nab Maroney Manny Lawson and D.Ryans and more future picks.)

5th- Passing on Winston Justice when we definitely needed him.

6th- Cutting Robaire Smith (our best lineman last year)!!!

7th Then how you gone trade MORENCY? ( our most talented rb ever in our new Texans organization. Skillwise he has the whole package. And whats with this DAMN Ron Dayne signing and Gado maybe decent for use but i think they just lost out of a really talented rb. For real, this hurts for Texan fan.

But on the TOP of all this bull#### they passed on FREAKIN REGGIE BUSH!!!!!

Man im gonna go back and be a Bronco fan like i was when the oilers left.

The texans are some SMF!

if VM is the starter he will have similar numbers to DD's in his haydays....He is a more talent rb with more explosion for long td's, something DD didn have. He catches very very well. Even last year when he did get a chance to show he stuff he went for 80+rushing and 40+rec with a td.I project (if DD is out of the picutre) 280 rushes 1150yds 45 rec 400yds 10+ td's. Why? Cause he is an everydown rb, he catches well....he is a beast around the GL, very small but big and strong. So i assume he would get the GL runs as well. Also Carr still looks like he dont have it....(dammit) So he will revert back to what he always have done......and that drop passes to the rb's. Thats why i see 45 rec's actually i see more but 45 is cool. So yes...I know i will get flake here but with our running scheme (somethine we have been good at and looks even better now) I think if VM takes it he goes for 1500 total with 10+ td's. Sounds crazy huh....LOLWell this maybe a good (i told u so) bump....projections for Lundy is 110 roughly 350-500 yrds with a couple of td's, his hands look suspect so i wont say too much there.

If passing on BUSH wasnt enuff Seeing them trade my favorite Texan for Gado make me even ier. Now he's looking good in GB as i thought he would as a runner...makes me mad as hell...Now we get to watch Ron Friggin Dayne look lie poop every week. signed- TEXAN FANwhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.................? But one thing is that i held Morency in all of my dynastys
