It’s got all the amenities: cloth seats, power steering, tape deck, AM and FM radio and has the added bonus of being made the same year the Redskins last won a Super Bowl. “It has some sentimental value to it now,” Morris told The Redskins Blog. “It just keeps me grounded, where I came from and all the hard work for me to get to this point. So that’s what helps me.” Where he comes from is Florida Atlantic and a senior season that saw the team go 1-11.

Teams get pass-happy vs. Redskins porous defense

Via AP on Fox  |  October 25, 2012
Passing yards are easy to come by when playing the Washington Redskins, to the point where other teams have figured out they don't need to run the ball nearly as much.

That...
