[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 783986"] I like it but I cannot say I love it. This is a big step up from Martini for run stopping and depth. But you have to understand what you are buying. The first thing you have to ask yourself is why the Colts would trade a cheap 3rd. year player who started for them last season for Lenzy Pipkins. Here's your answer: The Colts switched from a 3-4 to a 4-3 this season with Morrsion pegged as a backup at SAM (that's strong side OLB). How come? He lacks the speed needed to be a 3-down player in a 4-3. In 3-4, he can be paired with a guy more suitable for coverage. The run stopper now happens to be Martinez, so do the math. This doesn't change the Burks (or Thomas) equation in nickel 75% of the time. Here's a Morrison/Edwin Jackson mix tape from 2016. Morrison is #44; do not confuse him with Jackson who, by the way, was killed in a roadside crash that made national news at the time. [MEDIA=youtube]u55ZbThyVtM[/MEDIA] I see a downhill load of run stopping and that's what the Packers are buying. Base defense, short yardage, depth. Again, Brandon Spikes lite. [/QUOTE]
