Morris looks like the odd man out, but as a top-rated backup. I think they’ll run Taylor to start and spell him with Maroney as a change-of-pace type back (with Faulk keeping third-down duties).

(not worried about Faulk... his role is as DEFINED as one can get) RB's talk often about getting a 'rhythm' and this arrangment apears to not provide that opportunity unless someone breaks out and becomes that clear 'big dog'. Not a huge concern, but something to think about as it relates to RB's.
