JMV reporting Morris has been promoted on the depth chart

[sherck]

As if we needed the stats to show us what our lying eyes are telling us:

In 7 preseason games from 2016 and 2017:

28 drives / 8 TD, 4 FG, 14 punts / Morris (2 turnovers)
30 drives / 3 TD, 4 FG, 17 punts / Tolzien (6 turnovers)

06 3-and-outs in 28 drives / 21.4% / Morris
12 3-and-outs in 30 drives / 40.0% / Tolzien

112 attempts / 75 completions / 67.0% / 879 yards / 7.84 yards per attempt / 5 TD / 1 INT / 101.7 QBR / Morris
091 attempts / 60 completions / 66.0% / 607 yards / 6.67 yards per attempt / 2 TD / 2 INT / 083.0 QBR / Tolzien

Granted, Tolzien was typically playing against the "1s" and Morris has been playing against the "2s & 3s"......

I really hope Morris opens this week's preseason game and gets at least 1 or 2 series with the starters. Put one more data point on the chart before making the call on who to start against the Rams.

Walk Worthy,
