After years of backing up former league MVP Shaun Alexander, Maurice Morris will be the Seattle Seahawks' starting running back -- on Sunday.
On the eve of the Seahawks' first regular season game, coach Mike Holmgren is sticking to his plan of having co-starters replace the departed Alexander. Morris and Julius Jones, the former starter in Dallas, will split the majority of the carries as the team continues to revamp a running game that has struggled at times the last two seasons.
You know, I was, for the most part, somewhat sympathetic of Julius Jones during his time in Dallas. I tried not to be a hater. That all changed when he left town flapping his gums. Guess no one ever told him, karma's a b-tch. I don't usually like to see ex-Cowboys fail, but I'll make an exception in this case.
