The more the Bills pass the better Morse is. He is an elite pass blocking center. When the Bills are trying to pound up inside he can get overmatched. Our offense this year is much more the style Mitch excelled in with KC. 

I don’t think Morse is as bad at run blocking as people think he is... I think our guards are that bad.. Run blocking really depends on all 5 guys doing their jobs and right now we only have 3/5 on the line who are executing the way they’re supposed to.. Thankfully those three are our LT, C & RT which is giving Allen a nice pocket to step into and lots of time to go through his reads... Ford has been a total disaster though.. I expected a lot more from him... Both LG & RG need to be upgraded big time if we want to have success pounding the ball... And once again, if or when that happens I think Morse will be just fine as a run blocker..

I disagree. When I watch the tape I see a guy who struggles to get leverage in the run game. It was the same last year and it was absolutely no coincidence that the two games Morse left injured the Bills had two of their best rushing days of the season with Feliciano (their best interior run blocker) at center. If you want to be a run straight ahead team Mitch Morse is 100% not the center for you. The Bills want to throw it and attack the edge in the run game and get Morse out pulling using his athleticism and that very much plays to his skill set.
