Really?

 

[OmerV]

This is a guy I wouldn't mind seeing in a Cowboy uniform. Probably not as versatile as we would like (limited as a receiver), but he is a North/South runner who can follow good blocking and rack up a lot of yards.

 

[Plankton]

His numbers have gone down each year, but if he has anything left in the tank, he's a good fit for a ZBS run game. I'd rather they add a rookie from the draft, but you could do worse.

 

[erod]

The dude is done.

I'm pretty sure I have a better burst and top speed than him now.

No.

 

[phildadon86]

I dont know how i feel about this move, his numbers dropped significantly when RG3 got hurt. If there is not threat of the QB to run, he isnt very effective. Just draft a RB

No.

Well, you along with 31 other teams in the league agree. This is his first visit.

I'd rather draft a RB than sign Morris. As others have stated, I think he reached his peak and is now a marginal talent.

I suspect that's the plan but they want to add a veteran behind McFadden and Dunbar to go with the rookie.

Not sure how I feel on Morris. I think I'd rather kick the tires on Arian Foster, first, injuries and all.

"Why aren't signing any big names!?|

"Alfred Morris coming in for visit"

"HE SUCKS!!!"

This would be a good signing. A real good signing. The run blocking in Washington has declined quite a bit since Morris' 2012 season (Product of the read option, yes)

Depending on the contract, this doesn't have to stop us from drafting an RB.

So you think they will carry 4 RB's? Maybe 5 if they add a FB? Tough to do that with the holes on the DL and one will likely be inactive on game day.

Which, of course, means he will sign somewhere else on Sunday evening.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Draft Ramsey in the 1st round.
Draft Henry in the 2nd round.

RB depth goes: Henry, McFadden, Dunbar.

Golden.

Yeah that line has been absolutely horrible, last year they were somewhat decent but behind our line. He could have a rebirth like McFadden

Pretty much how I feel about it.

He had that one good year in the read offense with RG, he might be good enough to get about 200 yards in a season for us but not carry the load for 16 games. Draft Zeke and call it a day.

Good plan, let's alert all the other teams so they don't do anything to disrupt it.

The Cowboys don't need someone to carry the load for 16 games. They need a solid compliment to McFadden. It's easlity worth looking at Morris to see if he might be that guy.

 

[canters]

I think he is worth a look-no harm in that.
