The Fighting Ostriches
Beckett Morrow, 39, reads Wrecked and is averaging 10.9 over the season. The decline curve has not found him yet. He reads Wrecked, which makes the mileage harder to explain, not easier.
He has 35,758 yards from scrimmage in nineteen seasons, and 519 touchdowns. There was a 2,543-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in five buildings.
Tijuana, Mexico is where he is from. He is thirty-nine. He is the one the young players actually ask. The route here: the second man taken at his position out of Marchbanks.
The club is 6-9. Rico Norwood is in year thirteen of it. There is one year left on the deal.
One more thing: he has never once been photographed smiling on a sideline.
