Re: Alfred Morris Thread.
I don't think he is top 5 but, as previously stated he is a great back for this system. He lacks pass catching ability, and the break away speed to get a long run like Peterson.
He is a very good back but you wont see him a lot on passing downs.
Plus one other thing to throw in there is that he will no longer be a surprise to anyone, much like RGIII this year will really tell the tale on how good these guys are, there is a year of tape on them and these defensive coordinators make a lot of money to figure out how to stop the offensive weapons, none were greater for us in 2012 than RG and Alred. How they adjust and if they can still be productive is going to dictate there legacy. I feel RG has the smarts, athleticism, and ability to adjust when people key on him, Alfred that remains to be seen.
I just hope we don't go with the "hot hand" style as that IMO kills any consistency with the offense. Let Alfred start and have Helu or Royster back him up and come in when he is tired, or (I belive Royster is the better pass catcher but could be mistaken) come in on passing downs while hopefully developing Alfreds pass catching and pass blocking skills
