Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane

[GoDeep81]

Seen him do the same thing in an earlier game.. Made it across, but barely.. Dont know what it is with some of these guys, they just can't wait to let go of the football.. Bad habit to have imo.. It's not a hot potato, just hold the ball until you have both feet in the zone!! Is it really that hard to do?

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.

Exactly the ref is right there and if it wasn't "too close" for him, then that's all that matters. It was a TD and we won.

This thread is still going?? Still haven't seen the other times he has done this.
Nothing to see here, please move on.

Hes about to hit one out of the park.

I gotta admit i love his td celebration. He crossed the plane this picture is the worst angle ever. Why did you pause your tv at the worst possible angle to determine if he let go of the ball? Totally inconclussive from this angle.

The replacement refs called they want their logic back.

looks to me like he was two steps in before the ball left his hands in the video, but still too close for comfort!

Are we still really talking about this?

Dude scored a TD. We won the game. Who cares?

because we need something to ***** about.

This is the second week in a row he's done this. I hope they catch it on film, it could cost us in the future.

The ball is coming out - he's not across the goal line.

I had to come back, drawn in by the ludicrousness of it all. I think starting this thread should cost you not him, FWIW JMHO. That angle by all common sense is the worst possible to show where the ball is at that moment in time.

The ball is dropped on the white of the B in Buccaneers. That white is so CLEARLY in the endzone, anyone fretting about it is a nervous nellie. This is so far down the list of concerns with this team, it isn't even on the list! Seriously people, the ball was a yard into the endzone. That is no different than him carrying the ball to the back of the endzone and handing it to a fan.

I saw that too, I was having a heart attack watching it. I is so frustrating, does he need a Brandon Banks moment (from last year's preseason) to scare him strait?

[gortiz]

not really debatable...i was sitting on the 10 yard line and he definitely crossed before he dropped the ball. this is just a bad angle.

good, let's put this puppy to rest!!

Not the first time someone started talking out of their ass and couldn't back it up.

I think he needs to be cut ASAP. How dare he drop the ball after crossing the goal line. We need Vinny back; gawd Mike doesn't know how to draft, all he does is draft no talent thugs that care more about touchdown celebrations.

Bring back Marcus Mason, he's from around here, so he's automatically better than Alfred Morris.

God I hate this team, this FO has no idea what they are doing.

The issue is not about whether this TD was actually good or not, it is about the fact that he began the process of letting go of the ball before he was fully in the end zone. He may have still had the ball, but it was close, and if this keeps on happening, one of these days he could pull a Deshawn Jackson. Or what if the on field official did call it a fumble, even if he is wrong, there would need to be indisputable visual evidence to over turn it.

For safety sake, lets get two steps in the end zone before we throw the ball away.
