Question from someone who doesn't pay attention much to either the 787 and 777. I'm still trying to figure out the DC-9 turned MD-88.

Boeing studied a shortened version of the 777-200ER but it never saw the light of day. As far as comparing it to the 787, I believe it would be too heavy to be fuel efficient, especially from a CASM perspective with less seats.
