Yeah, I really think he’s not going to get in the lineup for a while.. Maybe the last 3 games and I think that’s a stretch too.. Hope I’m wrong but it’s not easy to come back from a ACL and play at the same level you were at.. [Reply]

One of four of those pressures is borderline and probably shouldn't be considered one at all. He had one pressure against the Bills. The last 2 games that's 4-5 pressures on 75 pass attempts. That's a 5.3% to 6.7% pressure rate.
Acting like replacing Morris is gonna make any difference when the right side gets fucking destroyed is hilarious. [Reply]

I think Morris is a guard. He's a powerful run blocker who struggles holding the edge against speed rushers. He might be a good replacement for Trey Smith. [Reply]
A guy like the Colts' Bernhard Raimann has given up like 5 pressures on the season and 1 sack in 205 opportunities. I was looking at him yesterday because I drafted him in our little alternate reality bit.
4 pressures + a sack in one game is a pretty bad game.
Loved that pick and wished we'd got him at the time [Reply]

Probably so.
Depending how Humphries looks and the draft board falls, won't shock me at all if next year it's:

yup.
Hell he might be a better guard than Trey right now, who is just getting worked game after game. [Reply]

LT - Humphries or another big investment
RG - Morris
Swing T - Kingsley
I'd wonder if they kept Morris as the swing. Kingsley was so bad it feels like they'd need a position switch. I don't see how they can give him meaningful snaps to develop and take that chance. No idea how he'd look at RG, I suppose the argument would be he couldn't start there either [Reply]

It's already confirmed he's starting against the Chargers. [Reply]
