Should he be the lead back over Darren McFadden?
Joe Theismann: I think so. Absolutely. I think it would be good for Darren McFadden to be honest with you. To be a back who could carry 8-10 times a game. I do believe that Alfred could be and should be the workhorse. Alfred would serve the purpose, and I think serve it very well, to be a first- and second-down back. He's gonna pick up short yardage and goal line for you. He's not gonna break an 80-yarder, but he's gonna get you enough 15s to be able to feel like it's a great contribution to your football team. Besides the fact of what he can do after contact, he does not put the ball on the ground. He does not have a history of fumbling. He does make people miss. He always finishes going forward. He's much more powerful than people give him credit for. He has a running style a little like Emmitt. They're both not the tallest of guys, but they're very elusive when it comes to getting through the line of scrimmage. And they're very difficult to bring down when you have them in one-on-one situations. That's where the comparison lies when you talk about Alfred and one of the greatest running backs that's ever put on a uniform.

Well, there you have it. Theismann has spoken. Was waiting for that. All is well.
I'm not depending on McFadden for a full 16 games morris should start soon honestly.. Morris is better runner I like his vision
Dude is primed for a bounce back year behind arguably the best oline in the NFL. A steal!
McFadden is better in the open field and in the passing game. Short yardage, sure go with Morris.
Morris is more elusive meaning he gets yards after contact and he break tackles something I don't se McFadden do much at all meaning he can do more with less...
Morris is smooth slippery watching his tape, McFadden has more power than I thought but hes not the better over all runner of the ball rhose extra 2-5 yds after contact matter especially in 4th qtr... I've watched both play I still think Morris is a better overall runner
I'll take McFadden in the open\ field when it comes to elusiveness. Morris hasn't the speed to be more elusive.
is it me or does THIS PLAYER IS A CERTIFIED HEIST!!!! coupled with "primed for a bounce back!!!" just scream contradiction?
Hahahahaha nice.
But I honestly believe he's gonna resurrect his career here. You don't think so?
If Morris is so good, why did the Skins not want him back and no other team wanted also at his low price tag...
Because their other RB is better.
I'll be happy with a 750-750-250 split between DMac, Morris and Dunbar
yea, ok.
If our D ever gets off the field...
is it me or does THIS PLAYER IS A CERTIFIED HEIST!!!! coupled with "primed for a bounce back!!!" just scream contradiction?
And then what? Look for another RB next year. We have a chance to get one of the best backs to come out of college in the last 5-6 years and we pass
Like I have said for years on this site. Dallas draft their HOF RBs. Forget how Denver, NE, Giants, and other teams win. Win the Dallas Cowboys way. GRIND GRIND GRIND.
