OT: Colts LB Rob Morris (likely) done for year - New England Patriots Forums

Just read this at ESPN.com. He was a big improvement to their run D in the playoffs last year. He got hurt in the Broncos game Sunday.

Man, anyone who saw that injury didn't need an ESPN report for that info ... that was a classic, "OH! His knee just exploded!"

I hate seeing that. I don't care who the guy plays for, it sucks.

Colts moonbats chime in to say his replacement is an emerging star and better than Morris anyway and in turn will make t heir defense even better than ever in....3-2-1.

Funny, but someone here would say the same about one of your guys if, let say, Bruschi was out for the year.

I'm sick of double standard. If Pats are able to replace a starter by a capable backup, so do the Colts.

And I am a Pats fan....

The Colts have twice as many players on their roster with no NFL experience as the average NFL team - and we have better depth than most - so I think you're dead wrong.

Wrong. But thanks for playing. People criticize players here all the time. Look, if AD went down I doubt anyone here would be saying Seau is an improvement.

The Colts could take their water boy and insert him for an injured Bob Sanders and they'd (you) be saying the kid has potential. It may sound like parity, but it ain't far from the truth. People here are a little more realistic when we lose one of OUR (the fact you slipped and wrote yours indicates you may not be a Pats fan) guys.

For the record, their replacement is Rocky Boiman.

You mean future HOFer Rocky Boiman.

In fairness to Handel, Rob Morris isn't exactly a gamebreaker here. The guy proved to be a better ILB than and OLB (or was it vice cersa?) but it isn't as if the team lost Freeney.

As long as Indy has that offense, the defense is going to do what it does. It wasn't as if Denver had any trouble running the ball when Morris was in there.

Every injury worsens a team, but this isn't a killer by any stretch of the imagination.

I thought it was funny since the Colts lost both starting CBs this offseason and all were heard was that it was going to actually make them better (while missing the implication that their coach is a poor decision maker for starting inferior players).
