Alfred Morris pick 6.3

I've been a bit disappointed with Helu in just the few opportunities he's had, which aren't many I realize. But he doesn't look as fast as last year and def doesn't seem to be running as hard either. Morris is def the 1st option. If he stays healthy I see a 1000+ yard season pretty easily.

Morris was definitely a sixth round steal. I like everyone else, I like his running style. He reminds me a lot of Stephen Davis. Straight downhill and he's always driving forward for more yardage. If he does top 1,000 yards, it would make me glad. We haven't had a 1,000 yard rusher in four years.

Not only that buy he would be one of the first rookies to do so I believe.

I know of a rookie that rushed for over 1800 yards his rookie season. (Dickerson)

Barry did it too, I think he had around 1300 or so, and I think its actually quite common for rookie running backs to have over 1000 yards. I think its something like 30 or 40 rooks to have done it. I just dont think its as rare as you think.

* Just looked this up, there have bee 56 rooks to hit the mark of 1000. Even the Redskins had their own, good ol Reggie Brooks, in 1993.

Not that it matters much either way. It's likely a 3 headed monster at RB all year.

He going to rotate them just to keep them fresh?

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.

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.

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.

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?
