LayLow Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 ESPN's Wendy Nix reports that Sammy Morris (questionable, knee) is expected to be inactive Thursday night against the Jets. The Boston Herald also doesn't think Morris will play. The forecast in Foxboro is calling for a 70% chance of rain, so New England may be forced to use Kevin Faulk and BenJarvus Green-Ellis often even in this unfavorable matchup. Green-Ellis will likely get the goal-line carries, as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ts Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 what's the deal with Morris? He ever gonna play again? Probably not as long as I keep him sitting on my roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euphy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I think I am still going to start BGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fstbck6706 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I wouldnt start anyone on this backfield tonight...their up running against the jets tonight. Sammy Morris will probably be ineffective and BGJE will lose carries to him to make him unattractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trots Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Yup...wrong information by ESPN. That seems to be happening more and more to them. You can't trust half of the breaking news that you read on the scroll any longer. It turns out to be blatantly incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavinRJohnson Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Played BGE based on Morris being out, bet the under because of the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorttynaz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Why in the world would i ever start a Pats RB these days starting BGE threw a big dent for my team this week in one of my main leagues That makes 2 of us. I had a last minute decision yesterday (lineups for the week lock an hour before the FIRST game of the week). I had to decide between BGE, J Stewart, and L Betts (probable starter this week). I figured I made the safe bet in BGE. Ugh.. Belichick is taking a nice page out of Shannahan's book on trying to keep the RB situation under wraps. Oh well.. What can you do??

CaptainHook Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I probably shoulda started Faulk instead of rolling the dice with R. Bush Sunday . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 NFLN just reported that Morris will be ACTIVE ESPN just reported Morris is ACTIVE and will be playing with a knee brace what exactly is everyone complaining about seriously, NFLN reported very early that Morris would be ACTIVE...never said he would start and i wasnt watching ESPN but drewjh posted that they also said that Morris would be active So what exactly am I missing that ESPN screwed up information wise? Seriously, I am just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) ESPN's Wendy Nix reports that Sammy Morris (questionable, knee) is expected to be inactive Thursday night against the Jets. Seriously? I mean that was posted what 6 hours prior to kickoff? and it says EXPECTED...that is FAR FAR FAR from saying he is OUT versus the Jets....BOTH ESPN & NFLN reported it far early enough that he was indeed active....and even the bit that you and I cut out from LayLow's post said it was an unfavorable matchup....so with all that said I would suspect that many that started BGE had issues at RB and probably didnt have much better options anyway.
