daquixers_is_back Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Who was it? I was just watching one of BillsZone.com's videos of the Bills beating the Patriots 31-0 and #31 (was it Morris?) had a real nice catch and run on a screen for over 20 yards. Jee do I miss that in a fullback. Here is the video http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...eoid=1131311221

He was decent, fumbling problem if memory serves me right. I think he cost us a game in Miami.

I think he cost us a game in Miami. 808576[/snapback] Looking at the stats he had 2 fumbles his first year with us, but only 1 the remaining 3 years. That being said he had 6 TD's and 38 first downs with the Bills. Boy it would be nice to have a full-back like that now. P.S. His first year with the Dolphins (2004) he had 6 TD's and 31 first downs in 13 games. Woha! To put that into perspective, Daimon Shelton only has 1 TD and 6 first downs in his 10 year career. edit: was he a FB or RB? looks pretty big for a RB

He got the majority of his carries in 2000 when we just couldn't decide between Antowain, Bryson, Linton and him. Funny about the fumble stats, because I remember him having a big problem as well. Maybe he just fumbled in key situations...who knows. But I know it was an issue. He always ran hard though and I was sad to see him go. He was suspended the first four weeks this year for banned substance.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Sammy never became a fb until he went to Miami. I always liked him though. As far as fullbacks go though. I'd like to have a larry centers esque fullback again. He was a great option out of the backfield and not to shabby picking up the blitz either.
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 If only this Bills played like that every game.

Mark Vader Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 What I loved most about Morris was his ability as a receiver. He caught a lot of passes and was an effective slot receiver for Texas Tech, and at times it showed when he was with the Bills.
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 I think Morris is now with the Dolphins.
Buftex Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 I think Morris is now with the Dolphins. 808606[/snapback] You are correct. He just returned to the felons, after serving a 4 game illegal substance suspension. It is rumoured to have been HGH...Shaun Rogers got busted for it today (a week too late for the Bills)...I have a feeling the NFL is about to enter its' own steroid era, like MLB is suffering through now. Strangely, I don't think it will hurt football as much as it has MLB...
clownments22 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Strangely, I don't think it will hurt football as much as it has MLB... 808618[/snapback] indeed. the only reason it hurts baseball so severely is because it's a numbers sport. it's much easier to say "how many of this guys HR's should be taken away cause of steroids" than "how many of this RB's yards should be taken away cause of steroids" because for one thing, it's probably a push. i doubt a guy on steroids is going to break a tackle that the exact same guy not on steroids wouldn't. i don't understand why the athletes in professional sports don't get tested more often. in track and field they're tested every time they race. same with cycling, and i just don't understand why that's acceptable in those sports, but to even suggest testing on, say a weekly basis in the NFL or MLB, is this outrageous idea that the commisioners would never suggest.
ans4e64 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Did you see him run over that guy later on in the video
ACor58 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 I thought I remembered him playing fullback once in a while 808601[/snapback] He was a FB in college at Texas Tech. He was on our roster as a FB, but actually played HB.

Pirate Angel Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 I believe he lined up at both, he was a good special teamer too. One of those guys who tries to be a Jack of all trades for a roster spot
