Tell that to Carson Palmer.
You have to pay attention to technique and roles. On run downs he's not going all out in pass rush because that's not his job. Watch him on third downs in obvious pass rush. I know you guys have already noted a few third down plays in here where he stood out in pass rush. That's not a coincidence.
I'll admit that I haven't watched Morgan much this season, but last season I caught a few Georgia Tech games on CBS and Morgan was pretty much non existant on defense. This year he has seemed to break out, but one breakout season doesn't warrant a top 10 pick.
He led all Georgia Tech defensive lineman in tackles last year...and that's a unit that had 4 NFL players on it.....he was 2nd on the team in sacks with 7 (behind Michael Johnson)....and was tied for 2nd in the COUNTRY with 4 fumble recoveries...
All he's done this year is win the ACC Defensive Player of the Year Award and lead the ACC in TFL's and seal the victory in the ACC Championship Game for them...
