He was a great returner for the Jets, he hasn't done anything here..........

Thats true he has not done much here, but he cant be the whole return team also, our special teams have far ben steller as a whole since he has ben here. It takes all 11 guys to get it done if one fails the whole squad(SP) fails...

The key word here is team. Morton is one guy of 11. If you do not have the guys who will finish blocks, bust wedges, and hustle in front of you you are doomed. I returned kicks in high school and a little in college and you are only as good as your teammates will allow you to be in the return game.

Yes Morton is a disapointment, but the entire team has been as well since Morton arrived.

I think Morton is finished with us, maybe we keep him around for specials if his cap # isn't that bad, but there's no comparison between him and Brown or Moss on kickoffs, I am very exited to see brown on kick's especially punt's, the few times we used him he was as explosive as I have seen, Daryl Green type of explosion, as Portis said "he's the fastest human he's ever seen" as for Moss he is recognized as an elite return man.

It's true you need blocking to get off a good return, but I believe in the return game the player carrying the ball is as equally important as his blockers, and Morton wasen't creating something out of nothing, both Brown and Moss have the ability to do that.
