Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
If they reviewed DeSean Jackson's a couple years ago and Brandon Banks' last year in the preseason but not Morris', then I'm not worried

Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
It's tough to see from the low resolutions highlights I keep finding, but it looks like it was actually pretty close. I tried to pause the youtube video at the point he released the ball, but it's just a rough guess without an HD video.
EDIT: It definitely looks like a TD, but I can see why people are saying it's unnecessarily close.

Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
The ref is right there on the goal line??? If it wasn't close enough for him to say something, then I am cool with it.

We are going overboard on the handwringing in this thread. Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.
Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
When the play happened on Sun, I don't recall thinking that he dropped the ball prior to crossing the goal line....didn't even think it was close. And....replays concentrated on the blocking and the run vice what happened at the goal line. On the other hand I recall watching Jackson drop the ball prior to crossing the goal line a couple of seasons ago.....and it did appear that he dropped the ball early.
The advice is sound, though, about making sure not to drop the ball prior to crossing the goal line.....maybe the coaches will put a reminder in his ear this week so something dumb doesn't happen in the future.
Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
i don't know why people are posting things like this. it's a rock dumb stupid move to drop the ball AS you're crossing the plane and he needs to cut it out.
Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
Because he scored a TD. It looked like a TD. The ref standing right there called it a TD. There was no replay because there was no reason to think it wasn't a TD.
Given that, I think it's highly relevant to point out that it was, in fact, a TD.

Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
The ball was CLEARLY a yard deep in the end zone. This hand wringing has to stop. The officials have reviewed and overturned calls like this regularly. If they didn't pause to review it, it was obviously not even close. If there is even a question, they review it.

Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
I caught it during the game too and was saying kick it kick it kick it kick it all nervous waiting for the refs to run in blowing the whistle and waving their hands. I think it would have upheld but it was way too close.
Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
You know, I saw that on the replay after he scored, and was so sure that he fumbled. Can't really tell from there, but it seemed like it would've been worthy of a review from the refs. I was surprised that no one mentioned it after the commercial break.

Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
The point is he shouldn't be doing it at all. He really cant take a few more steps into the endzone before throwing the ball away? Seriously, its too close for comfort I dont care if the ref called it or had reason to question it or not. Whats the big deal, it is a chance for coach to correct him on something and remove the CHANCE that maybe he lets go a little early one game. What is the harm in that?
Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
He was in the endzone CLEARLY. This thread should be awarded "Dumbest thread on ES"

Re: Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane
I would say the ball was not clearly in the endzone, if fans were concerned. Slow motion replay, sure maybe it was clear.
Players shouldn't cut it that close, there should be no doubt among fans especially on uncontested touchdown runs.
