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!

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.

I was thinking about this earlier in regards to our next years offense. Morris and Helu can be an unreal combination. Think Houston (Foster & Tate) with more explosiveness. Griffin's running numbers will decrease each year I believe (at least in number of attempts) but he may have more big plays/meaningful carries.

Add in a healthy Fred Davis and we could be a top 3 unit for a long time to come.

3 young, healthy horses

morris, helu, royster

that's hoping helu comes back to 2011 form.

no real holes on offense, we're in great shape.

It wouldn't surprise me to see us bring in a back via the draft or free agency to supplant Royster.. He's been just ok but he doesn't do anything significant to warrant a roster spot without competition.

I agree about Helu returning to and building off of his 2011 form. If he can learn how to press the hole like Morris and improves his vision, he could be a homerun hitter in this offense. Morris can pound and Helu can be the backbreaker.

right, i think royster makes a good #3 (a cheap one, too), he hasn't shown anything special.

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.

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