Cooleyfan1993 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 i'd go with alfred moriss. he's been spot on for this team this season really a bright spot. this season he has proven that he can carry the workload for our team and he can get TDs. when was the last time any of our RBs got more than 3 or 4 TDs in a season? he could be on pace for 9 or 10 by seasons end. definitely have to go with him.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Trent already has 10 total tds on the season... ok but i still want Alfred Moriss. I dont really care if he has less TDs than Trent Richardson. Im just happy that a Redskins RB has more than 3 or 4 for the first time in a long time. and Alfred Moriss has done great for the redskins this season.

Spade Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Funny mentioning these 2 guys who have been friends since they were 6 years old. I'm sure Trent would be a beast here but i'm keeping Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Morris has more heart, and you can't beat his character. Easy choice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 no, only because this is 2012, not 1983. you don't build around RBs anymore, so spending 20 mil over 4 years makes no sense. RBs are a dime a dozen...better to use that money in other spots, like safety for instance. Morris has more heart, and you can't beat his character.Easy choice.... I completely agree with both of these. The choice is simple IMO, Alfred all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people are giving Richardson more respect because of him playing at a school where he got a lot of exposure. No one has considered the possibility that Morris is actually the better of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor703 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I don't know of any back in the league I'd rather have than Alfred Morris? It's more than just talent that comes into play here, the guy just seems like a true Redskin to me. Yes they're more talented players throughout the league at the RB position but there is something special about Morris. I just feel like he's one of those players that I will be telling my grandkids about when I'm old and grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyst21 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Ill keep my tickets for the A-train. The Morris Express. Not saying one is better than the other. But Alfred fits our style perfectly. And he's hard to bring down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Acre Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Trent already has 10 total tds on the season... He has 9 - Hardesty has one. That's 9 of the Browns' 22 offensive TDs. The Skins have 34 (not including fumble recoveries). Given our QB and WR play, we don't need the RB to score as much as the Browns do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I voted initially for the trade. But thinking it over, the mindset and personality of Alfred has made me change my mind. He's extremely mature, and obviously very humble. Nothing was handed to him, and he'll continue to work hard throughout his career. He's also smart and knows that he needs to take care of his body in order to stay durable. We'll never have any off-field problems with Alfred to boot.

butzskins Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I guess all the people that would trade ALMO for T RICH would also trade RGIII for Jason Campbell . Damn people I cant understand why we finally get something that works and you want to come up with this crap. HTTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn people I cant understand why we finally get something that works and you want to come up with this crap. HTTR! It's fun to speculate, especially since Trent was a first rounder. The fact that the debate has raged on makes me giddy (with contentment). We're comparing a 6th round draft choice with a top-5 overall pick. No matter what, the Redskins got a steal in Morris.

rumplestilskin Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 One things for sure is that I bet Shanahan wouldn't. He likes being the late round RB guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrepDC Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm rewatching some of our games right now, and one thing I think every fan underrates about Morris is his field vision/agility. Actually, I think they're SEVERELY underrated. Our zone scheme requires a back with field vision. Example: I am currently watching our game against the Ravens, and I'm seeing Morris run for big yards against 8 men in the box. Now most people will give the threat of Griffin all the credit, but no, I am seeing Morris take handoffs into playside B gap, and take one cut instantly to backside C gap, and get North as soon as he hits the hole. He is completely embarrassing linebackers. For people that may not understand the terminology, imagine someone with no football I.Q. watching a game, and when they see someone get tackled they make a statement, "Why didn't he run that way it was wide open?" You'd probably think, "because it's not that simple, stupid." Well Morris is actually seeing those lanes and making those cuts. It's like he's playing with the Madden view. If you need comparison, just watch any other person carry the ball when Morris is out. They can't seem to find a hole most of the time, but Morris does it consistently. I have gained more and more respect for this guy as I've studied him. I was tentative at first because of the whole Shanahan system, but we've got a helluva running back on our hands.

ktak240 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I love Morris but Richardson is the type of back that can has speed to develop into a game-changing back. From a purely winning football games standpoint, Richardson wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktak240 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Which picks up the blitz better? Good question. I think AlMo has better vision, so he's reading them better than T-Rich this season, even if he's not more physical in blocking. Most people don't talk about how important blocking is. Joseph Addai averaged like 2 ypc for a decade but was still important to Manning and the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Recent story out of Cleveland is that Childress has declared that he's not demoting Richardson. It's not a good sign when there are strong enough advocates for that kind of move for an OC to have to quash the suggestion. Frankly, it might be the right move for them if Richardson's role was diminished. Hardesty jumps out at you more on the tape (and, incidentally, would be a much better scheme fit for us than Richardson would be).

I don't think so. :pfft: There were several of us around here that had Morris called out as a significant upgrade to Royster and Helu before the regular season even started. His vision, ability to work through tight spaces, and power is special and it was very apparent even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGoonie55 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 "Who can pass block better?" Considering the amount of PA reads we run, the question should be "how many LBs and DLs do they commit to the fake?" AlMo takes several defenders out of position when they fake him the ball.

His vision, ability to work through tight spaces, and power is special and it was very apparent even then. The problem with Hardesty is that he's been really injury prone. He was a 2nd round pick in 2010, and suffered an ACL in preseason. Last year he was on and off. He's a very solid runner when healthy, but that qualifier was enough of a concern that they went out and drafted Richardson. That being said, both guys are young, if they were both healthy and worked into a rotation they could have a very dangerous backfield. As for Morris, what you said exactly. Morris has great feet, balance, vision, etc. The only thing I think that is keeping him from being an elite complete back is speed. The thing is that Foster isn't all that fast either, and he's done tremendously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
