Dorkington Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Clearly had no defensive line in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBD Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I don't think Morrison is going to be relied upon to do all that much. During draft discussions Buddy claimed they ran nickel around 50% of the time which Morrison will have no part of unless there are injuries. I think he's a worthy player for the role that he'll be asked to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 If you consider that the defense is on the field for an average of 60-70 plays per game, over a 16 game season that's basically 1000 plays. So that's saying he averaged making a solo tackle on every play. So on above-average years, he may have made some tackles against his own offense because he was bored.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 This statistic is a little misleading, as Morrison also held down a part-time job as an office linebacker while in Oakland.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) http://www.buffalone...e?twobillsdrive The linked article says average 100 tackles a season. That would be about 1 every 10th play. Edit: I get it now, it didn't used to say that, they fixed it Edited June 13, 2012 by Hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 The guy is an average to above average 4-3 LB. Not a bad guy to have as your third LB but is ideally a guy you want as your best backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may sound like a lunch bucket type, but he sure doesn't look it.. I think as long as the DL mainstays can stay healthy, Morrison will be fine.

3rdand12 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Morrison will surprise. he was behind Barnett and then when we said season over, we put Shepp in for developmental reps lastear, deservedly. Dont count out this guy.he's smart and solid. We should be glad to have him. But better yet we drafted some up and coming guys for the future. so i think we will be fine with him at sam in Wannys fourthree Edited June 14, 2012 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
