I think without a doubt that NFL teams, and in this case the Redskins, phase players out.

I don't think the phasing out of Alfred is the cause of the running games problems. I think the run game as whole stinks. From gameplan, to playcalling to execution and it effects both RBs.

But it was clear (to me at least) from the outset of the season the organization planned to phase Alfred out for Matt Jones. Hence a perennial 1,000 back and 2 x probowler shares carries with a rookie w/ fumblitis. Starts the season off with 25 carries at a 4.8 ypc clip for 121 yards. Yet over the course of the season never again has 25 carries. And oh by the way, w/ 28 career TDs (mostly in the goalline) cedes the goalline carries.

I don't know why its a big deal to admit *shrugs*.... wasn't there a thread on this earlier?
