Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Reading an article in today's Athletic. It states: Morse’s comments after the game made it sound as if the coaching staff sent him a message by leaving him out of the lineup in Week 10. I don't recall hearing or reading anything, Does anyone know what he stated?
DrDawkinstein Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Link? Any further context to what was said? 1
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 I was wildly wrong and off my rocker though, right? It was just a health issue, don't you know...... 1
Doc Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 What was the message? Don't get concussed? Maybe it's time to retire? 1

Gugny Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 "The coaching staff sent me a message by leaving me out of the lineup in Week 10," said Morse after the game. 1 3

The context was in an article about whom the Bills might cut next year to save money and that they didn't play him the week prior so the team may be ready to move on. Then stated that Morse made a comment after the game about it. Hadn't seen/heard anything prior.

YoloinOhio Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Ah yes, that’s what this week was missing. Mitch Morse drama! I knew it was something. This is all I see 1

sven233 Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Look.....our O-Line is far from perfect. And, Morse is a piece of that. But if this coaching staff really thinks that he was a problem, and not one of the top 5 linemen on the team, I have no idea what they are looking at, especially with that big pile of trash Winters right next to him. 1

It's not as simple as who blocks more guys. The Center has a lot of responsibility for making calls and adjustments for the line. If he isnt making the right reads and right calls, then that could be far worse than Winters missing a block. Heck, it could be WHY Winters has missed blocks. If Feliciano is doing a better job reading the D and setting assignments at the line, then that's all we need to know. 3

I haven’t seen it put up as a separate video on the Bills.com website or official YouTube, but it’s in the “live” segment that goes up on facebook and twitter after the game. I linked it in the post-game thread I think it’s a stretch to interpret his comments as “sent him a message”. He said they were completely forthright and transparent, but it was left to the imagination of the listener what they were forthright and transparent about 1
