Gruden/Redskins Doing Alfred Morris Dirty

Agreed but I'd still like to see something that stays closer to a 5yr/15mil deal. 5mil on the front end and 2mil a year. It's a fair deal and does reward him and keeps us set at the position for a long time.

I have ZERO problems with that contract idea. That seems fair/logical to me.

Some Skins fans love Scott so much already, he can walk in and gut punch their mothers and they'd be like, if he says it benefits the Skins, its ok by me.

Seriously.. I'd be that guy right now.. I'm absolutely behind whatever Scot says..

I hope your mom is at least a Redskins fan too!

If they like Matt Jones better and view him as the future....then don't phase Alf out.
Imo the right strategy is too use him up until the wheels fall off.
He's a proven back in this league.
Give a boatload of carries get his numbers up, thus creating value.
Then trade him before the trade deadline while you still hold his rights.

I feel like people don't watch the same games. Alfred is obviously struggling with this running scheme. He looks timid and lacks any burst hiting the hole a lot of time. He also seems to run "softer" then he did his rookie year. I remember him running people over. Now he kinda runs in to people and just stands still.

I don't know what it is this year. He really does seem to lack burst. He also limits the offense because when he's on the field. He's no threat to catch the ball unlike the other two RBs. So teams basically can just scheme to stop the run when he's in the game.

He had well over 100 yards week 1, Jones was the hot hand week 2, then he only got 6 carries week 3. A RB can't build any momentum getting spot carries throughout the game. A bellcow has to get fed.

There are a lot of good RB's that don't have the best hands out of the backfield, that's why most teams have 3rd down backs. Those are roles Jones/Thompson can fill, in addition to Jones doing his normal subbing in for Morris throughout the game.

I just hope Morris is starting week 4. And I'll leave it at that.

Just my humble opinion... I think that the Redskins should resign Alfred Morris, for the right price of course, and use him in tandem with Matt Jones. Personally I'd switch between the two or even, occasionally, put them both in the backfield at the same time.

Nobody is doing Morris wrong. Outside of the opener he's been outplayed simple as that. He needs to pick it up and earn those carries back. I think Jones is clearly the future though.

I am one of those fans. Lol.

As nice as that is to think about, I think Alfmo knows he can pickup a bigger payday and a solid #1 starting spot on other teams. Nobody wants to play second fiddle or rotating fiddle when they know they're good enough to be the sole starter on teams that desperately need it.
