The Morgan signing makes even less sense to me unless Hankerson's outlook is very questionable within the franchise (because of a serious, early injury). Also, new WRs mean more players trying to learn the offense as opposed to just Griffin trying to learn w/ help from the WRs experienced in the system.
In short, if the line doesn't hold up this season and sacks/pressure are of ongoing concern Mike and Bruce should face some extremely tough questions/criticism. I hope they called it right this time...

WRs who can block is one of the critical factors between having a run that goes the the house and a run that is stopped for ten yards. Josh Morgan fit that bill and provides something in the passing game, unlike the one-dimensional Niles Paul.
