The Detroit Lions need Maurice Morris to step up
It will be up to Maurice Morris to replace Kevin Smith as the featured back in the offense the rest of the year. Morris has carried the ball 42 times for 156 yards (3.7 ypc) with 1 TD carry. He has also caught 12 passes for 105 yards (8.8 avg) this year. Morris has never been the main man for a offense so rookie Aaron Brown will also likely see a increase in playing time. Brown has carried the ball 21 times for 100 yards (4.8 ypc) and he also has caught 6 passes for 65 yards (10.8 avg) with a TD grab. The Lions’ running game shouldn’t suffer too much as Kevin Smith wasn’t exactly tearing it up this season.
