I think Morris clearly has a bigger gun than Williams, and probably a better feel for our scheme. He may have better upside, but the kid seems to be psyching himself out. The feel I keep getting with Williams is he could be another Ken Dorsey type guy. NOT that he will be Dorsey, but in that mold. Not physically gifted, but smart and resourceful on the field, and can just get it done.
It was like the Kenny Kelly/Dorsey debate from back then. KK had all the tools, but just couldnt put it together. Dorsey didnt have the expectations on his shoulders, he didnt have the cannon for an arm. Yet the kid was resourceful on the field and made smart decisions. He was the "calm" presence on the field which kept the offense focused and got them to execute.
My fear with Morris is he has all the tools, but mentally he cant put it together. I thought Morris did pretty well at BC, and last week he did ok, but for some bad decisions staying in the pocket too long. My fear is he is going to become another JH. Hes going to lock up mentally and psych himself out. Today was the first day we saw Fisch try to get Morris to open up more of a mid range vertical passing game, and I think its obvious why he stayed away from it in the first two games.
Maybe Im nuts. I just like the fact that Williams started most of a season as a Frosh. Kid has experience leading a team, and I just get a feel like maybe his experience could provide the kind of "cool head" we need on offense. This team is SO young, and is lacking in leadership in every aspect. It is absolutely CRITICAL that Morris either step up and take a major leadership role on offense, and if not, maybe Williams can do it.
I dont know, I just feel like something on offense is just lacking. I was also expecting to see more out of Morris by now. Im also tired and leery of the Greentree All Americans who tear it up in practice, and lock up when game day rolls around. There again, I remember the Kelly vs Dorsey thing. For all his talent and physical gifts, Kenny Kelly never developed the consistency on game day that we needed, whereas that skinny, scrawny kid from Cali wasnt necessarily blowing anyone away with this gun in practice, but on gameday, he just didnt get rattled, and made good decisions.
