Dude-LAP: I read your first post and I had to say I was a bit surprised when you said the Maurice Morris hasn't proven himself. I don't know if you remember but when Alexander went down for those couple weeks Morris stepped it up and was rushing for well over 100yds a game. He wasn't having games like Alexander had in 2005 but still for a back up to come in and put up those kind of numbers was pretty good. Sure he needs more time to develop his running game but I believe he has proven himself a valuable player.
Morris stepped up to replace the injured Shaun Alexander, but he still didn't rush over 100 yards in any game last season. While Alexander wasn't himself, the Seahawks established more of a West Coast offense, and took away most of the running game.
Morris is a pretty solid runningback, but I don't think he'll thrive too well in Seattle this upcoming season. Julius Jones and Morris Morris have the same style of playing the position. The Seahawks may try to establish RBBC next season, since Julius Jones shared carried with Marion Barber last season, but with two similar running backs, it doesn't usually work. Maurice Morris also isn't a good blocker like Alexander was, or a good receiver out of the backfield like Alexander.
Maurice Morris I have to say is one of the most underrated runningbacks in the NFL.
I think he's pretty good, underrated, but not one of the most underrated. There aren't many teams in which he'd be the starting runningback for. He's a good option at backup, but hasn't really proven himself too much. He did well when Alexander was out due to injury last season for Seattle, but that's because their passing game was exposed which widened the field.
