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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
