Morency did well as a backup two years ago, so let's not exaggerate. Last year, he didn't look good. However, he was injured. He's assignment sure on pass protection. With a young QB like ARod, that's big. Did you see Jackson's blitz pickup? Morency is Noah Herron with solid speed. From what I hear, Morency is healthy and looking solid in camp.
Two years ago?? Wasnt Hendo still on the team?
I dont trust Morency to stay healthy and contribute.
Besides Partial thinks he is great. All you need to know.
Based off your list I think Morency should get the boot too. He hasnt done anything despite several chances the last two season. Give a new guy a chance to make a name for himself. I say TT keeps Lumpkin.

Jackson's blitz pickup? I must have missed it. I know he did.

Unless he makes a habit of coughing up the ball he should be the #3. He has power and might do something big unlike Morency, Herron, or Wynn.
I appreciated how he did not take giving the game away lightly when th camera showed him on the sidelines.
I think the main reason for that is because he is tryin so hard to make this team because it means a lot of cash for this guy...
The #3 guy, no matter who he is, is going to be whomever is able to best handle blitz pick-ups. As little as Morency and Herron bring as runners, they do handle that aspect of the game well and shouldn't be counted out. Then again, if Jackson improves enough on his pick-ups, it's a moot point and go with a Lumpkin or Wynn who brings a different running style to the mix.

What the holy heck has Wynn done to deserve your man crush?
I think Wynn showed a lot of talent last season, a natural runner. I didn't see Wynn play last night, I was listening to 2nd half on radio, but Larry McCarren said Wynn had a good night, said he did effective job blocking and on special teams coverage.
Morency and Herron are guys that you really want to replace. They are plateaued vets who aren't very good, no upside. IF either Lumpkin or Wynn can handle all the fundamentals, by all means give them the #3 job, because they both look more athletic than Dancin Morency or Cement Shoes Herron.
Wynn had rushes of 0, 1, 3, and 6 yards. I prefer my RB to have more than 2.5 YPC. Now, admittedly, I don't like Wynn to begin with, but he hasn't looked worthy of our roster to this point. Not to mention, he also had a 15 yard penalty on special teams.
Without a doubt Jackson is our 2nd best back (how can anyone even begin to argue that he isn't?) That being said, we do need a bit more experience with our RB, especially blocking. If Lumpkin performs great the next 3 games and totally outshines Morency than I think he's worthy of the #3 spot. However, I think we'll end up with Vernand as our #3 RB and we'll try and hide Lumpkin on the Practice Squad.
I'm tired of Wynn. He's never going to be anything more than what he is: a clumsy, out of shape RB with questionable work ethic.
