Morrow has been great when we have targeted him this year. I honestly cannot remember a single drop, but I do remember some big catches. He is beginning to use his hands to catch and squeeze the ball more. It's kind of sad that I'm impressed by something a receiver should be taught to do in JV, but during the Croom years and the first couple years Mullen was here we had so many receivers that still tried to catch the ball using their chest.
Sobes missed an Extra point Saturday, so you basically proved everyone's point. I love that morrow has turned it up, and I think he will continue to get more and more chances because of the way he has stepped up. BUT, remembering his past drops, and his lack of aggressiveness in going up for a jump ball in the past, would you truly like to see a potential game winning pass thrown to Joe over DeRunnya or Jameon or Fred Ross? I'm much closer than I was last year to seeing that, but the obvious answer is "No", or "Not yet".

But he is definitely close, and next year could be a big year for him. Putting 4 wide with he and DeRunnya out there, will cause some major matchup problems...especially with Fred Ross and Fred Brown out there. Pick your poison. We have a good problem at WR for the first time in my existence, and Joe Morrow's work ethic and improvement is the reason why....I applaud Joe for his improvement. Proud of the guy.
