Stephon Morris

One thing I forgot to mention in my last post: Anyone notice how much playing time Stephone Morris (CB #12) got in the game? He was in there early and often, even during some critical moments in the game. This tells me the staff really likes this kid. It's not very common for a true freshman to have such a big role in the defense this early in their career. It's looking like they are transitioning him to be the nickel back on passing downs. Definitely a promising sign.

From Joe's Press Conference on Tuesday:

Q. Could you talk about the development of Stephon Morris, and what he's done to see a lot of playing time lately?

He's a really good prospect. He plays with a lot of enthusiasm. He's young. We're anxious to get him some exposure and playing time. When he's gotten it, he's done well. I think someday he's going to be a really good player.
