Buffaloed in Pa Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Have not seen too much of him lately. He`s not injured. I really thought he could provide some help. It was even talked about him playing some outside. I guess he`s played outside before in his career. HMNNN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowery4 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Maybe he just isn't that good of a pick up? I kind of thought Tubor ver.2 when they did it but what do I know that they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills!Win! Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Paul Pozluszny 2.0 (can't even remember how to spell his name anymore) Â I heard he makes all of his tackles after 10 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr1 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Kirk had 5 straight years of 116+ tackles and had 89 last year. He must not be showing anything in practice. He has 5 career sacks and hasn't had an INT since 2008 so maybe that's the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I think it's because he's an ILB and you do not take Barnett off the field, and you do all you can to get Kelvin Sheppard on the field if he is ready because he is the future. Morrison signed a one year deal. If Sheppard didnt pick up the defense so fast after his injury, it would be very likely Morrison taking Andra Davis snaps.

billsfan89 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Could be he is a depth chart player? We needed another MLB on this roster going into the season. Barnett has had a recent injury issues, Davis is older and has broken down the last couple of years, and Sheppard was a rookie. This team needed a decent reliable vet MLB as an insurance policy against a pair of older MLB's in Davis and Barnett and to keep from having to rely on a rookie too much (Sheppard). Â Now Sheppard has looked like a stud and Barnett hasn't gotten hurt. But the season is long its nice to have a guy like Morrison who can play OK if needed waiting in the wings.

SelmonSmith6378 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 He played well in the preseason. Though Sheppard is doing a pretty good job, so I don;t think we need him. Let's ship him to Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 lol right. because this was exactly the case with stevie johnson, fred jackson, and ryan fitzpatrick. Â Therefore, we should sit at least three of these LBs: Davis, Barnett, Sheppard and White to give Morrison his opportunity to shine - right?

vincec Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Therefore, we should sit at least three of these LBs: Davis, Barnett, Sheppard and White to give Morrison his opportunity to shine - right? Given their respective histories one would think that Morrison would be getting snaps ahead of Davis, who is seeing considerable playing time. Also, Moats should've been playing OLB all year except he's "too small" and given the season he's having maybe Wilson should've been starting ahead of Whitner a long time ago. There are many other examples of players not getting the playing time that they appear to deserve. Not to mention the possibility that Morrison has an undisclosed injury. Â Your post is far to simplistic, as should be obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) far too simplistic? Hmm okay. So any guesses at the undisclosed injury? I have read nothing about that yet. Andre D is supposed to a run stop guy and i thought Sheppard was a plug in against all other situations as he develops. Is Morrison supposed be a strong side penetrate and take up Off. blockers guy, or his he a ball chaser like Barnett. I thought he was a run stopper with some flexibility. From write ups as he was brought over i thought this guy was going to be on the field and noticeable. I am wondering what the story is with his playing time. if he is going to be a servicable #2 i stil would like to see him on field beyond special teams. Heck i do not even know his jersey # Edited October 29, 2011 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No talk about him by Chan or anybody,must mean he`s realy bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 If this were only true... What part isn't true? Barnett and Sheppard are playing better and Morrison is the back up along with Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
