frostyj Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Great little article. How did we manage to get two of the most humble guys that are tearing up the NFL? It's great!! Not to mention it seems that Robert and Al have a chemistry that is flowering. The way RGIII talked to him during and right after the game showed that. RGIII to Al - "me and you, nobody can stop us" - "ain't nobody done that since '99, the sky's the limit for us" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiingspadee Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I love his celebration. I do it now everytime he scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinklein Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I love that celebration. The kid was a home run draft pick, and we remember every time he does that. I watched a Morris highlite video the other day, wherein every time he "swung the bat", the sound of ball meeting bat was edited in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theismann07 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That's a great story. Thanks for posting that. This turnaround for the organization has been truly special, but it's made even better when you have such character guys like Morris and Griffin who seem to be the majority on this team.

Bang Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've said it before, and I'll say it again....the best part of this new era is that not only do we have two exceptionally talented building block young players on our team, but they're both amazing men with outstanding characters. The humility and maturity shown by Alfred, and RGIII, is a large reason I'm so confident about our future success. And not just those two,, the whole team's character has changed for the better. These are guys I want to cheer for.. and for more than the fact they wear our colors. i want to cheer their accomplishments on the field, and I want to shake their parent's hands. For so long this team created the atmosphere that allowed for selfish negative personalities to control the team and our expectations that all there was to like about them was they wore our uniform. Not any more. This team is inspiring for all the right reasons. This is a team of good young men, not just football players. ~Bang. ---------- Post added January-5th-2013 at 02:33 PM ---------- I want to see the stands pretend like they are seeing the ball fly out of the park Oh man,, this would go down in NFL lore if it became tradition.

Harwich Hog Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 It would be great if there was some home run themed video that played on the big screen when Alfred scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebornempowered Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I am really against giving RB's big money, particularly in an offense run by the Shanahan's BUT this guy is worth giving a long contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasRoane Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Great story on how The Homerun Celebration started when Alfred Morris scores a TD. Not only are Alfred and RGIII great players, they also have great heads on their shoulders. Growing up playing in York County Little League makes this story freakin awesome....http://wtkr.com/2013/01/04/yorktown-little-league-team-inspires-alfred-morris-touchdown-dance/ Hampton is right next to Yorktown. There's a whole lotta love for this kid here! I don't care what people say about him just being a product of Shanahan's system. This kid's heart is so huge that he is taking that system to a whole new level. Someday, John Elway will be saying that Terrell Davis was his Alfred Morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 How can you not love Alfred Morris? As if we needed another reason to love Almo...... http://www.csnwashington.com/footbal...-it-super-bowl This season, Alfred Morris made a name for himself by serving up the second most rushing yards in the NFL. Next Thursday, the Redskins’ running back will be serving up lemonade at the Super Bowl. Morris will join six students from Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans in serving patrons lemonade from a pop up stand at the media center, giving the youngsters an opportunity to learn about operating a small business. Green Bay’s Donald Driver will also participate. click on the link to continue reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I wish he woudl take the part out of the celebration where he pretends to throw the ball to himself ... makes look like he's hitting pop flys before batting practice, not hitting a home run. sorry ... :pfft: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great feeling to be proud of your favorite players on and off the field. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better does of talent, character, work ethic and passion from RGIII and Alfred Morris. And it's contagious. That's the best part. btw just wanted to add these to the thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Love the guy, but he drops that back elbow every single time. Nothin' but pop-ups to the infield/shallow outfield. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Has there officially been a nickname decided for Alfred Morris? If not, I think "Homerun" would be a great nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKSkinsFan Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Still no nick name for him, I'm thinking it may end up having to come from the players. Although, his running style brings to mind a nickname from another Morris, "BAM". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shoots out of the backfield like a cannonball at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skins2victory Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 :thumbsup::thumbsup: Morris gets 2 thumbs up from me on this one..... He has been a class act since day one here. The future is bright for him. If he keeps this attitude and work ethic up he could easily be one of the all time Redskin great RBs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
