IMHO, Morris replaced Pass, and is an upgrade.
Maroney, Faulk and Evans are back.

We have not replaced Dillon, who would have shared time with Maroney (less time than Maroney) and would have been the man in short yardage situations.

And, obviously, we need another contributing body in case of injury. Do we need to be reminded that the inability to field even one healthy back in the second half against Indy was a factor in our loss.

Apparently, posters would prefer have four backs instead of the 5-6 that bb prefers.
