Yeah, off an ACL. It takes longer than 11 months to be back at full speed. They might be getting caught up in the name and past accomplishments. Jones came back for the pre-season finale and did good. We couldn't do better than signing a guy coming off a torn knee? A guy who has was on the PUP and just got released? :no1: |

It sounds like Morton is healthy. He better be since they cut all of the guys trying out for the position.
Giants cut Palmer, sign Morton |

it takes a while to recover from an ACL. Sometimes you are never the same, even though you could still play. Mike peca hasnt been the same peca since he tore his acl in 2002. |

I'm aware, but the Giants must be confident that he has recovered well enough to be the best option as their return man. |

i was only aware of morton's promise as a kickoff return man. did he do anything with punt returns with the jets? i had thought santana moss was their punt returner. theres a difference in skill to be able to kickoff and punt return. willie ponder averaged the highest amount of yards per kickoff return, but he cant punt return that well. just wondering whether morton has had a big punt return or anything |

Remeber the Tim Brown-Raider Jets game a few years ago on MNF? Where they STOPPED the game to do all his ceremony sh*t? Well Santana Moss got hurt that game and Morton had to fill in, he fumbled a pount which Oakland later scored on... :wall: But their is nothing bad to say about his KR's, he can break one at any time... |

thanks for the info. my point was that morton was a great kickoff return man, but i was not aware that he was a success as a punt return man, which is different, but which is what the giants signed him to do. willie ponder was great on kickoffs last year. morton was brought in, as far as i know, to return punts. i dont even think he has a history of it, or at least a good history of returning them. i could be wrong. |

we dont need a kickoff return man, cause ponder and jacobs are prety darn good. I dont remember mortan reutrning too many punts with the jets either, but i think he did with the redskins. Im sure he can and he is probably better then anyone on this team, save tiki but still. |
