Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!

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

Regular Guy as Running Back: Alfred Morris | Watch the video - Yahoo! Sports

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)

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!

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.

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

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!

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....

Re: Hail to Alfred Morris!

What if I told you all that Alfred Morris's brother is a senior RB at Birmingham Southern and a DIII All American RB for them already being talked to by the Jaguars?
