Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Adam Carriker accuses Redskins of trying to drive Alfred Morris FA price down

Carriker is just coming off like a former play with a grudge to carry out.

The first thing he is ignoring is that the run blocking this season has been downright poor. No way around that one.

The second is the contrast in style. Morris has below average speed for the RB position. His strength has always been running sideways until a cut back lane opened up and then hit the cut back lane hard and go.

While Matt Jones hasn't exactly lit the world on fire either, you can tell the difference that speed makes in the way Callahan wants to using the running game. There have been a handful of rushes by Jones where the only reason he got good yardage was because of his ability to accelerate through the hole before defenders closed in.

What is happening to Morris happens to NFL players all the time, a team in transition, changing schemes, sometimes they favor different players on the roster. Add that to the fact that the run blocking in general has been awful.

Not to mention on multiple occasions Gruden has said that he will stick without whoever has the hot hand during stretches of the games.
