New-look Morgan brings the same attitude

My theory has been that maybe one of the reasons that he played below par last year was due to his losing weight.

 

I don't feel he was below par. Certainly, someone thought he was good, to be a Pro Bowler, but either way I think par's just lower than we would expect.

He had tons of nagging injuries at 255. He's just not supposed to be that big.

 

losing with didn't seem to help the injury problem last year

 

Do you think at that weight he could be a good fit at SLB?

 

Uhm ... last year was Morgan's best by far.


And I really liked this article when I read it last year. And the year before that. And the year before that. And ... (ok, so he's never been a father before and has a new agent, but every year this is finally going to be the season he stays healthy )

 

Well he has learned to tackle from behind rather than meeting the runner head on in the hole so maybe he will last longer. But seriously, one of these days he's going down and some unknown is going in there and bust things up and Morgan's gonna sit for awhile.

 

Actually he's always tackled primarily from behind and rarely met runners in the hole.

 

yep and our D in 2004 was as good as the prior two years. you must be the blindest bat in the cave.

 

Last I checked, Morgan doesn't play all 11 positions on our defense. And I've posted this already in several threads, but since you obviously didn't pay attention, I'll post it again:

Morgan 2001: 6.1 tackles per game
Morgan 2002: 6.6 tackles per game
Morgan 2003: 6.0 tackles per game
Morgan 2004: 8.4 tackles per game (the first time he's ever actually been above average)

And before when I apologized for being insulting, it was because I started it. Now you're starting it, which isn't wise. In this world you can be stupid or you can be an asshole, but you can't get away with being both. So cut it out.

 

actually i think you started it. i was having a polite conversation with Mags when you stuck your ass in. the stats you provide don't prove diddally shit. i know what i saw and Morgan wasn't playing as well last year as he had in prior years. i also realize that i can't substantiate what i believe which is why i didn't continue in argument with Mags. all in all, it doesn't matter who is right and it ain't worth the argument. i'm worried and hoping like hell Morgan plays better this year that what i perceived him playing last year. i doubt anybody shares my perception. i just threw out my opinion as a contrarian.

i know you disagree and you think you have proof that i'm an idiot but i really don't care as you have said too many things here that have been proven wrong before they hardly got out ya mouth. so based on your short history here i have to simply discredit in my mind anything you say despite your being able to provide persuasive arguments. for that reason alone, i'm inclined to think Mags may be right on Davis even if he maybe hasn't argued his case as well as you (though i must admit to skipping or skimming through almost all of the posts past the first couple for each side).

my point in bringing up your saying that last year's D was as good as when Del Rio was here wasn't to point the finger at Morgan though I can see how you can could have interpreted such given that you believe that you are the only one of enough intellect to realize that one player doesn't equal eleven. so you assumed retard as opposed to understanding the point, which was to point the finger at you as being not nearly as infallible in your opinions and arguments as you would like to believe.

again, as i know your mind conveniently forgets when you are wrong, this is what you said.

As for Del Rio, it's already been proven that the idea that we were better under him is a total myth. Statistically we're almost identical in terms of yards allowed, points allowed, sacks, etc. People liked Del Rio more because he was fiery, not because we were performing better back then. Our rankings have dropped in the intervening period, but only because other defenses have gotten better, not because we've gotten worse.

everytime i read that paragraph, I conclude that you said that last year's D was as good as when Del Rio was here. i called BS and said that there is no way we were as good last year, even statistically, as we were two years ago. to which, you went apeshit. it wasn't until much latter than you even began rationalizing why we weren't as good last year as when Del Rio was here. which i took as a beginning of an admission of guilt from you but then you claimed you did not say what i have conclude that you did. so PLEASE feel free to clarify what you meant in the above paragraph or admit you were caught in either a really stupid and wrong comment or a blantant lie. i have given you many opportunities to do so and as yet you have not, so i must assume you are incapable of admitting when you are wrong. and so, i think you are everything that you accuse mags of and much more.

btw, happy father's day.
