i like alfred morris but i dont think he is an elite back in the sense of being physically gifted. i think he is the near perfect back for us but i also think, if need be, we could find and plug another back in and get near the same results.

i like morris a lot, but i cant help but discount his personal contribution a bit b/c of the scheme and the long list of guys shanny was able to plug in and produce great numbers.

its really next man up imo for running backs on this team. morris can hold it down for another year or 2, then next man up.

Last year after about 5 games I started really thinking the same way, but then when Griff went down and Morris played GREAT against Cleveland, I changed my mind. I don't think he's as gifted as some but he's a dang good RB and a true Old school workhorse.
