To keep 'em fresh, sure. Also Shanny likes to play the hot hand. If someone is bringin' it, Shanny will keep playing him. History has shown that often there is no real starter at RB in a Shanny offense.

Re: Alfred Morris pick 6.3

He is in the top four after the 4th week in TDs, YRDS, 1st Downs, and a bunch of other stuff. I say he has a pretty hot hand.

If not for RG III and Luck he may have been a canidate for ROY.

Re: Alfred Morris pick 6.3

Interesting note, although the Donovan McNabb experiment failed miserably, the Redskins got a sixth-round pick for him from Minnesota. What’d they do with that pick? They spent it on Morris. So, McNabb gave the Redskins something after all.

Re: Alfred Morris pick 6.3

I was temped to start a new thread on the topic, but I'll ask it here.

Based on what we we've seen from Helu and Royster (last season), do you guys feel Morris is the best running back or can either Helu or Royster still compete for the starting job next season?

Also, who'd you prefer?

Re: Alfred Morris pick 6.3

I think it's AM's job to lose at this point.

On pace for 1,503 yards and 16 touchdowns, been a great pickup and love his TD celebration.

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.

Helu is arguably my favorite of the three but he's got no shot if all are healthy. Royster maybe.

Re: Alfred Morris pick 6.3

I should probably ask this question more towards the halfway point of the season, but do you all think we're officially set at the RB position, meaning there is no need to upgrade? Kind of like us being set at OLB, theres no need to upgrade there.

Re: Alfred Morris pick 6.3

MS always likes to add RBs in the later rounds of the draft. I don't think we're set, not when Helu can't stay healthy.

Re: Alfred Morris pick 6.3

"I don't like losing yards. That's one of my pet peeves."

reminded me of larry johnson's great run, can anyone find a video of that negative yardage run?

lj's redskins stats:
5 attempts, 2 yards, longest rush... 7 yards.

Re: Alfred Morris pick 6.3

Helu is my favorite but like Matty said it's probably AM's job to lose. The nice thing is I'm comfortable with any of them starting.
