Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

1,613 yards rushing, a team single season record, only Eric Dickerson and George Rogers have posted better rookie seasons!

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Yeah that was an amazing season for the young man. He destroyed the Cowboys twice. Tonight was one of the best running performances I have seen a Redskin have in a long time. Amazing stuff.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

i had no clue what a badass he was. HTTR!!

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Great find by Shanny. With Helu and possible another rookie next year in mix, we will have top 5 rushing offense for several years to come.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

33 carries, 200 yards, 6.0 yds per carry and 3 TD to win the Division Championship. AMAZING!!

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Rookie of Week. Fantastic effort. Gosh he just fits so well for us.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Great Job by an Unknown hero! Now everyone will know him

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Alfred Morris is #2 in rushing behind AP. IMO he's the Rookie of the Year.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

After this effort, you really need to think about probowl voting by players and coaches after week 17. Now I really do feel like he got snubbed.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

I'm in awe....feck me....how good was that performance?
Big props to our offensive line too!

F the Pro Bowl...

Morris is a monster and we rode him to the playoffs

Nothing else matters

Beast mode. It was all him

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Feel bad about my preseason opinion that he shouldn't make the team over Hightower, Royster, and Helu. And I wasn't even a Hightower fan.

The single biggest reason for the turnaround was the conversion of the rushing attack from major weakness to strength. RG3 is an irreplaceable part of the equation, but Morris is clearly an upgrade on everyone we've used since Portis was in his prime six seasons ago.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

I thought it was great to see Portis giving Morris a standing O when he broke his record. Class act.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Seriously, F the Pro Bowl. Seattle's going to have their hands full next week.

You were just been wrong. No need to feel bad about it

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

[quote=hooskins;982071]Beast mode. It was all him[/quote]

I said prior to the game I wanted to see Morris with 150+, I had no clue he'd go for 200 and 3 scores. Unbelievable!!

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

[quote=hooskins;982105]You were just been wrong. No need to feel bad about it[/quote]Yeah, I thought he was just a Torain clone. Of all the things I thought about the Redskins this year, I wasn't any more wrong than I was on that evaluation.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Kudos is definitely in order. And so f'n humble during his postgame press conference. I love this kid, I hope he stays like this for the next ten years.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Alfred Morris is the real deal. Another unheralded Mike Shanahan running back does it again! I'm so proud of #46!

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Definitely a Rigginsesque performance tonight. The offensive line was just taking it to those boys.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

What I love about Morris is his mentality and determination that no one will stop him or beat him, just like his last TD.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

He's gotten better in the open field too. Finding more moves in open space instead of plowing over and through defenders.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

If I'm not mistaken Morris finished as the 2nd leading rusher in the NFL behind Adrian Peterson. Pretty impressive for a rookie 6th round pick, I guess we got the last laugh on the McNabb trade.

Yep 2nd place in the league.

1600 yards is no joke! Dude is a stud.

I think someone posted this before, but I figure this is the right place to re-post it.

I'm a sucker for underdogs and nice people. He personifies both.

2 class act rookies in Morris and RGIII.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Hell of a pickup/find by Shanahan.

I remember back before the preseason began I thought it was a wasted Dennis Morris type of pick; All show on Youtube highlights but it wouldn't translate to the NFL. I figured Helu, Hightower and Royster were our guys and morris would be cut and on the Practice Squad...Wow I was wrong. If we cut this guy even two games into the preseason he would have been a star for whatever team had gotten him.

Its going to be so much fun watching him and RG3 grow up in the same offense together for years to come.

So glad he's been healthy too (knock on wood)

Kudos big time to A.M.
I said about 8 games ago I thought Morris was good but I thought 1500 yards tops for a season
Great game tonight,Congrats Alfred
Plus he's such a humble guy,gotta love this guy

Love you, Alfie!

Besides being a great runner, Alf Mo seems like a GREAT character guy.

Love his interviews. Seems totally uncomfortable with his recent fame. Comes from a small school like FAU...
Kid is to good to be true....Nice work, Mike, Bruce.....scout guys!

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

The FO needs to just rip up his rookie deal and give him a raise the day the season ends. It is so well deserved. Besides being so damn humble, what I like about Morris is his vision. All the great runners have the vision and Morris can see the holes before they come open. The kid is a pure runner. He isn't flashy, he just gets the job done. So glad he's a Skin. What a great find. Also major props to Bobby Turner, he has been with Shanahan coaching all the 1,000 yard backs and hopefully Turner will get some attention one of these days.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

How is Alfred morris's name not mentioned for ROY? 2nd most yards rushing in NFL, 2nd most rushing TD's in NFL, franchise rushing record for the Redskins...I love RGIII and everything he brings to this team, but I absolutely love watching Alfred run the ball.

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

2nd in the nfl in rushing yards (1,613)
2nd in the nfl in rushing tds (13)
2nd in the nfl in rushes for 1st downs (83) 1/4 of his runs were for 1st downs!
5th in the nfl in rushes of 20+ yards (9)
3rd in the nfl in carries (335)


no pro bowl...

we love you alfred, you'll get the respect you deserve in no time

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!
 

Alfred Morris is a beast. Terrell Davis first season in the zone blocking scheme wasn't as good as Morris first year. Morris is going to be the first Redskins rusher to go over 2,000 in a season. Mark my words....
