CBD Posted June 13, 2012 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.
tennesseeboy Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Sounds like a lunch bucket type of Buffalo Bill...dome to work and do the job. Wish him well.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted June 13, 2012 Author 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.
l< j Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Linebacker averaged 1000 tackles a season with Oakland A lot of tackles, but most were 150 yards down field or more. kj

He was just getting extra work in. Don't hate
bowery4 Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 When you think about it that is a funny enough typo, that you might think the OP was kidding around.
NickelCity Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 A lot of tackles, but most were 150 yards down field or more. kj Nicely done.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 13, 2012 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. "You know you need a cover sheet on your TPS reports Brenda...here comes the pain train...whoo whoo!!!"

Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 13, 2012 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
billsfan89 Posted June 13, 2012 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.
Rico Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Sounds like a lunch bucket type of Buffalo Bill...dome to work and do the job. Wish him well. 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 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
Webster Guy Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 A lot of tackles, but most were 150 yards down field or more. kj He can handle it, the guy is 6'2 and 2400 pounds
