Crazysight Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 This may be partly sour grapes on my part for missing him, but I believe he's good, though not nearly as good as he showed last week against a very weak Carolina run D (currently listed 30th). He's averaged about 4.0 yards per carry in past years. Still, he is a good all-purpose back who will get receptions on top of yardage, and he is in a much better offense than he was in at the start of his career, so he should be very serviceable moving forward.

DMD Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 See that is why I said to start him last week because you might not get 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsosi Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) There was a time when he had a promising NFL career. I remember drafting him as an RB2 with RB1 upside just a few years ago. He was derailed by injuries more than skills derailed again its a sad story when you think about it Edited November 24, 2011 by nelsosi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallagorilla Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 derailed againits a sad story when you think about it not surprised he pulled a muscle. you simply cannot go from sitting on your couch one week, to running as hard as possible, without putting tremendous strain on your body. i have had similar injuries throughout the years, mostly caused by not stretching properly after taking time off.

dougsullivan Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 It is too bad because he looked really good and may have scored over 20 points with out a td today. Had 7.5 in just the first quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love posts like this. First off, reports said he was not "sitting on the couch." He was actually working out from 7am until 2pm where he would then go home and play with his son. Said he did that day in an day out, worked out....played with his son. That is all he did, over and over. Sounds to me like he was doing everything right including staying in shape. Seems pretty admirable to me. Secondly, I love the comparison of your injury and his. I'm sure your injury while playing pick-up backyard football games on Thanksgiving weekend with your overweight ex-high school buddies while running a 9.5 second 40 really compares with an NFL starting running back's injury. Hopefully, Kevin Smith is able to get you on the phone so he can understand how to avoid this injury in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallagorilla Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 And I'm glad to hear that you know so much about his training schedule and workout routine to be confident that he was in good enough shape to not pull muscle. I'm never claimed to be an NFL rb but I played enough competitive sports (semi-pro and college soccer) and have had to sit out for lengths of time while I've recovered from broken legs and other injuries to at least claim that I can see how an injury like this can happen.

isleseeya Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 i am glad i have and kept maurice morris 9 catches for 81 yards and high ankle sprain for kevin smith ( which sucks because he was looking good ) but puts maurice morris back at top of list for lions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High ankle sprain, not a pulled muscle.... no secret stretching routine is going to help that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
