WR Sylvester Morris, QB Elvis Grbac and the
Kansas City passing game
|
| Sylvester Morris has been getting a
lot of positive ink for his play during the Chiefs’ minicamp. ProFootballWeekly.com
asked contributing editor Joel Buchsbaum to weigh in on the subject.
Q: Morris has been getting very positive reviews for his play in minicamp. Do you have
any thoughts on how this could impact the Chiefs’ passing game?
Buchsbaum: Of course Sylvester Morris looked good in minicamp. How many first-round
draft picks don’t look good in minicamp, especially wide receivers. Morris gives the
Chiefs another big, fast wide receiver who can get down the field and stretch the defense.
However, the Chiefs cannot get too complicated with their passing game because the more
they ask (QB) Elvis Grbac to do, the less effective he is. Grbac is much more effective
with a limited offense that is based more on the run and you throw when they don’t
expect it. Throw play-action and basically throw it off the running game. That way he
reacts quicker because it’s much simpler for him. Otherwise he tends to hold on to
the ball too long. |
