IMO with the change in the salary structure in recent years you are starting to see some better attacking options at fullback and Morrow stands out (to me at least) as not being great. He moves the ball too slowly ( a one touch pass or a quick 1-2 is unheard of). I notice his teammates remonstrating with him about his attacking play pretty consistently.
Edwards could cut balls back, look to shoot, attack the end line. Morrow does maybe one of those things well. And when he gets to that end line we all know there the next ball is going.
Now of course we know Edwards is not even half the defender Morrow is, but someone in that mould might be a good attacking option late in games when we are pressing.
Edit: Looking at the heat maps so far this year, the team has a tendency to attack down the right or through the middle. I think that sort of builds on the case.
