Josh Morgan looked really slow | Page 4

Did anyone else think he looked really slow running down the sideline after that catch and run for like 70 yards?

I still can't believe he didn't score.

Of course.

He just plays there because we don't have anybody else.

Well, ideally Crabtree and Brandon Jones can fulfill the roles of split-end and flanker, respectively, in years to come, but that's probably wishful thinking at this point.

He's sick of getting open only to have Hill not look his way or throw an uncatchable ball. That wasn't a pass that shouldn't have been a touchdown in the first place, but he broke a tackle. He gave up but oh well, he was getting open a bunch vs AZ and Seattle and MN, but he didn't get too many throws his way.

U notice there were no safety's back there to tackle Morgan because teams line up there safety's close to the box or up close because they know Shuan Hill can't throw the ball down the field

Yep. They're pretty much daring Hill to beat them.

Is it just me or did it look like he slowed down towards the end zone too early and got caught from behind. The dude could have gotten a TD on that play

I think everybody noticed it.

Here's the video clip from NFL.com

He slowed down at 10.

i think he did too and didn't realize how close the DB was.

i was listening to the radio and someone brought up a good point. if he scored, we wouldn't have had to use a time out during the next couple plays getting coffee's TD.

....then we would have had a time out to review delanie's fumble.

It looks more like he thought he had a TD already and did not realized the DB was gonna get him...so he slowed down...

Just like Mr. Dre Bly...who thought he had a TD and started celebrating instead of running hard...

I think he got hyped a little prematurely.

5th round..

He is producing the most in our receiver corp in only his 2nd season, thats not hype, thats a pleasant surprise..

he never has been a burner, so folks that expect that of him are going to be disapointed and its as simple as that..

Some around here were expecting him to become a legitmate #1. That might have been a little bit of hype.

Josh Morgan is not a #1. IMHO, he's a #2 guy.

#1 caliber are:
TO
Andre Johnson
Moss
Roddy White

Josh Morgan can't compare to the above listed...

Great post. I can't believe what I'm reading. He's not a number one, but a solid 2 IMO. Hopefully Crabs can step up by next year and be the guy we need. With that said, I dont have very high expectations for any of our WRs until we get a real QB. Do you guys think Maclin and Jackson would be nearly as successful if they didn't have McNabb throwing to them? What about Nicks in NY. Unless you have a real QB and Oline you wont have WR production, look at TO.

I think he has the talent to be a #1 receiver. I don't think he has the aggressive personality to one. I think he will be a very good #2 complimentary to Crabtree if he turned out like he will
