Leader Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Rotoworld: The Indianapolis Star reports second-year pro Antonio Morrison has been a "fixture" with the Colts' first-team defense in training camp. The No. 125 overall pick of last year's draft, Morrison made four rookie starts, including Weeks 16 and 17. On the whole, he had a rough year, playing down to his disastrous 5.1 40-yard dash while displaying little instinct. The Colts need Morrison to be a two-down thumper.

He's the antithesis of a guy like Burks. Smart move to get rid of a guy you were going to cut anyways to get a player at a very weak position. 1 Point for Gute.

Cheech Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Ouch. We went from an undersized ILB who can fly (4.59) to an undersized ILB who... can't (5.10). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Penske Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Nice to get something for Pipkins. Hope it dosent mean much for Burks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Probably being shipped out due to scheme change from 3-4 to 4-3 Tampa scheme. He doesn’t fit the latter. He’s not an EDGE and he’s not the best in coverage. We’re looking at another thumper in the middle. He’s got the ability to cover sideline to sideline, but appears to be slow in decision making and thinking too much at times. He might benefit from a scheme that allows him to just go play football.

He apparently had a knee injury at the time and ran despite medical recommendations that he withdraw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Speed might not be his game - but he certainly racks up the tackles. That tackle total would have put him second on the GBPs last year behind Martinez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I am going to miss Lenzy Pipkins, one of the modern NFL's greatest names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakeshoppe Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Seems like he was considered on the roster bubble over in IND. Consensus seemed to be that he can't cover and is slow and indecisive in the run game. Aggressive hitter, but often fails to finish tackles or is penalized for roughness. Still, Pipkins was probably going to be cut, so it's nice to get something for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Stallyns Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I think this trade benefits the Packer moreso then the Colts. Pipkins right now is only coming over because of injuries in an already undertalented CB group. If certain players recover in time he might not make the team. Morrison had shown flashes but doesn’t have the speed the Colts want in their defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
