More than anything else during the Pat's/Bengals game I enjoyed watching Morris run roughshod over the Bengals. Well watching Brady/Moss wasn't too bad either, but I've come to expect that. Granted Morris was running through a soft defensive line and a terribly depleted linebacker situation, but he still showed a lot of power and determination and speed, held onto the ball, and broke a number of tackles. Hey, Maroney hasn't been the most durable guy, so we might be seeing a lot more of Morris than expected this season, and watching him perform against the Bengals was encouraging.
Art - Morris has definitely been a surprise, especially to me. When he was signed, he just seemed like he'd by a complementary back, but he has proven to be adept in several areas. - smy
