STACY MACK tries out for skins

[MTK]

If we were to sign him, I'd say that would mean Rock would be out and we would have a backfield of Portis, Betts, Mack and Morton.

Does anyone else think that Gibbs has something up his sleeve that involves Morton? We've barely seen him play any RB this preseason, I'm thinking Gibbs will find a way to get him in the open field with his quickness and speed.

Now that you mention it, I'll bet Gibbs has been deliberately quiet with Morton. He's been in the backfield on a few plays, but yes, look for much more action with Morton on 3rd down this year. That could be one of the reasons we signed Thrash back -- to take some of the returning duties from Morton who always said he's wanted more action on offense.

Also agree that if Mack signs, that's the writing on the wall for Rock Cartwright. They're not going to give up on Betts just yet. Rock will get picked up elsewhere for sure. John Simon, while making a serious run for the job this preseason is in all likelihood the odd-man out.

you guys remember when Gibbs was having Thrash line up as a fullback then motioning him everywhere in the last game vs. the Rams? well, it was Thrash, a WR, and i doubt he was fooling anybody, but what if it was Morton?

maybe Gibbs plans to use Morton like that, who can obviously run from anywhere, and has also lined up wide and been thrown to as a reciever in the past. would certainly cause disarray in the defense (like it did in the Rams game)....imagine the reverses....
