Mister Mean Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Did you not read my post or what? I said at this point in the draft you go for depth/special teams. Backing up Sellers would be depth. No real NFL team carry 2 FB's on a 53 man roster, try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaimeDeCurry Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 So, a guy who led the nation last year with 12 TDs as a tight end, with very solid man-on-man blocking skills, who projects as a fullback, and is now drafted by a guy who likes to utilize his fullbacks as offensive mismatches. I'm failing to really see the big problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Watch his highlights .He is a blocking machine according to the highlight vid. Welcome to Washington Dennis Morris. EDIT: It's a great video, even has our boy spotlighted, splits down into blocking, receiving etc, good soundtrack the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allannis Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 How fast is he, could he be a big WR. It looks like he can catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stophovr6 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 No real NFL team carry 2 FB's on a 53 man roster, try again. What about a 3rd TE? One that can also play FB and Special Teams? Sounds like a horrible idea having a player that could possibly play three positions for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSkins Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 with picks like this maybe its best the redskins give away so many of their draft picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaimeDeCurry Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 How fast is he, could he be a big WR. It looks like he can catch. He's 255lbs. That's a pretty big WR. What about a 3rd TE? One that can also play FB and Special Teams? Sounds like a horrible idea having a player that could possibly play three positions for us. Depth and versatility? Lame, dude. This is the Redskins, come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haithman Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I would draft this kid based on what he did @ 1:39 in that vid. Holy smokes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Sellers is going to be 35 years old and he carries a big cap number for a fullback.If his performance declines or he gets hurt, the team didn't have anyone to step up and play the position. So, they drafted Morris. You never want to be in the position the Redskins were in 2007 when they traded #3 and #4 picks during the season to the Jets for 34 year old guard Pete Kendall because there was no depth to cover injuries. Sellers has also in my view gotten complacent. He's lost his edge, and his skills are in decline anyway. I wouldn't mind Morris beating him outright and Sellers being released.

Jumbo Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 The pick makes perfect sense for us. What I ask as a fan is that the FO has a clear, well-defined (detailed), and consistent plan that drives choices that make sense to their scheme from top to bottom. The hopeful part is that it is also a successful plan. That's what we have received so far in my analysis. In the past we have had much vagueness and diffusion, and downright willy-nilly activity, manifest at different times involving many aspects of every season, including the draft. In the gambling aspect of the matter, how the players selected on even intelligent well-identified criteria actually end up performing is often as much a dice roll as skilled card playing.

anar-k21 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 yeah sellers is tired, although i wouldnt say that with him in the room lol, if this kid can transition to the NFL .... it'll be great on 3rd and short to have a guy who can make a play, or a block for a RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulRebel Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/nfl-draft/shanahan-tells-morris-hell-be.html Shanahan tells Morris he'll be used at fullback and H-back as well If you heard about the Redskins' sixth-round pick of Dennis Morris and wondered why the team needed another tight end, you probably weren't alone. But we can provide a bit more clarification. Morris, a Louisiana Tech product, said on a conference call with reporters this afternoon that Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan told him he can expect to line up as a tight end, fullback and H-back. Didn't see this posted in the thread yet. Hopefully this will calm down those that doubt this pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Sellers has also in my view gotten complacent. He's lost his edge, and his skills are in decline anyway. I wouldn't mind Morris beating him outright and Sellers being released. I think that Sellers' time donning the burgundy and gold is nearing the end (at leastI hope so:evilg:).

demarc007 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I really wish some of you clowns would stop pre-ejaculating and calling every pick that this front office makes that you don't understand dumb. Some of you act like Shanahan has done nothing in this league. No the man is not a perfect talent evaluator but who is. The guy knows football and he's proved it. Try doing your own research to help you understand why they might have made a certain move. Good grief. As you can see this guy is a mauler and what team doesn't need those kind of guys.

E-Dog Night Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I think that Sellers' time donning the burgundy and gold is nearing the end. I really think this is what this move is all about. Sellers was terrible last year, he gets paid more than a fullback should, and he's older than the vast majority of players in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Maybe we can take a couple of kickers and turn them into offensive lineman too. Just stay away from the guys who are actually offensive linemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselfan44 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 You draft a guy that can be no more than a 4th teamer.....idiocy! Could have got Lefevour there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 the latter video will tell you that he has starting Fullback potential written all over him Jesus Christmas that is a helluva display of nasty blocking in your second link....me likey....he looks to be great and driver away a LB and creating that one cutback and go lane that Shanny's RB system employs. Tight pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrepDC Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I thought we drafted "Sellers' replacement" last year. I'm pretty sure 80 percent of what's being said in this thread was said when we drafted Eddie Williams(I think that's his name) instead of OL last draft.

PortisBetts Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 This kid can block. Really lays the wood. Will be a very versatile fb with shanahan. love the pick. im sure portis would love to run behind him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoaster Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Mike Shannahan is going to have a short career as Head Coach of the Redskins. And there will be those who contnue to kiss his butt. The man sucks. Some of you people are ridiculous. It is a sixth-round draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryman of the North Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I love that he blocks like a beast and even on passes his comeback blocks made me say hell yeah. if he can do that in the NFL, this could be a very good pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
