Grid said:Id say that its impossible to tell at this point.
1. We havent seen enough of him to know how many carries he can take.
2. Can he catch the ball out of the backfield? ive no idea.
3. Does he have homerun speed? id say no..maybe from 15-20 yards out..but im not sure.
4. Will he ever stop slipping? Until he does..im not even prepared to start him over Wells.
5. How much can be cured with coaching and how much is just the way he is?
All in all.. id say its possible. Just as it is possible that Mathis could become a better receiver than AJ and Wand could become our best lineman.... meaning.. feasible.. but I couldnt firmly place him in one camp or the other. (the "camps" being starter material, and not starter material)
El Tejano said:If Kubiak comes to Houston, Morency will be pretty darn good in the offense. You have to think he will be a Bell clone.

texan279 said:Grid, I just read one of his scouting reports from before the draft and it says that he ran a 4.67 40. It also says he does not have natural hands to catch the ball with out of the backfield.
YoungTexanFan said:I personally feel he was THE worst pick in our draft history.
D-ReK said:Do the names Charles Hill, Tony Hollings, and Bennie Joppru ring a bell? At least Morency showed some promise this year...
dat_boy_yec said:I've said this before, but I'll say it again. If we got Bush, Morency should be the first to go. He's already stated that he would want to be traded if Bush came here. Where's the competitive fire I wonder. Wells said he would like to stay here and Davis said he wouldn't mind the competition. Hollings, I haven't heard anything about him recently except for his run-in with the law, but from what I remember from the last time I saw him play being healthy is that he had a very different running style from DD and was faster, the fact that he's younger helps his case and he's cheap. Morency to me is like a DD light and at the same age, I haven't seen any real maturity from him, but thas JMO.

Hopefully, with Wells and Morency getting more touches, DD wont be on IR. Remeber, DD was basically by himslef in the backfield, all of Well's carries came when DD was hurt, he never spled DD, that is why he wears down....beerlover said:I like his upside, just needs more touches & with DD on injured reserve alot he should get more PT. At the time of the draft it was like WTF I thought we needed linemanso here we are again- we need to draft lineman and the urgency just gets upgraded year after year

Ummm, if we get Bush, then Hollings will be almost exactly like him.. really fast little guy that will sprint for the sideline and is allergic to the tackles...YoungTexanFan said:I like this post. Morency should be the first to go, regardless. Hollings is a different style runner than anyone on our team. We have a proven, better, stronger, more willing back in DD, so morency can clone someone else on a different team.

The thing is, everyone expects Kubiak to use a Denver-style offense, meaning multiple backs. However, where does Bush fit into this? I think that in theory he fits the system, but he would be a $45M complimentary back, ala Tatum Bell, who was a second rounder, not anywhere near the financial responsibility Bush would present....
YoungTexanFan said:Morency was 26 when we drafted him, he spent his time failing at another sport.
Fiddy said:I think Morency could be really good, just needs the carries. He was easily the most electric offensive player during the preseason but after the fans were promised that he'd get 10 touches a game, Capers and Pendry sat him on the bench for almost the whole season.
Thomas was good but wasnt "electric." When Morency touched the ball, you got ready for a big play, for some spin move to get into the open field or a shake-and-bake Barry Sanders move. He was "electric."YoungTexanFan said:sloan thomas was doing alright.
Grid said:eh.. Bush wont hurt us cap wise in the long run. Trading down could actually cost us MORE than just taking Bush.
Bush has all the tools to be a superstar.... if we are going to implement a Denver style running game.. then id like to see us take advantage of this chance to get our Terrell Davis/Clinton Portis.
