Mike Shanahan believes Alfred Morris has a “big-time future”

Found October 04, 2012 on Pro Football Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Alfred Morris
TEAMS: Washington Redskins
Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan told the media today that he believes rookie running back Alfred Morris has a “big-time future” in the NFL. Yes, Shanahan likens Morris to another RB he’s coached. Won’t say who (wink, wink). Adds of Morris: “I think he’s got a big-time future.” — John Keim (@john_keim) October 4, 2012 It sounds like to me that Morris reminds Shanahan of former Broncos great Terrell Davis. Morris has rushed for 376 yards over the first four weeks of the season and has averaged 4.6 yards per carry.

RB Morris’ all-business approach paying big dividends for Redskins

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  October 04, 2012
With every performance, Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is proving worth the mega-hype he has been receiving. However, even though he's on pace to become the first NFL quarterback to run for 1,000 yards, Griffin isn't Washington's top rusher or even its No. 1 rookie on the ground. Those distinctions belong to running back Alfred Morris, the 173rd...

Via 60 Max Power O  |  October 04, 2012
Washington Redskins owner has been through his share of downs during his tenure, most due to his mishaps as owner of the proud franchise.

Redskins K Cundiff can't afford another bad game

Via AP on Fox  |  October 04, 2012
Billy Cundiff knew his job was on the line. At least he had a sense of humor about it. In a year in which NFL kickers have been making field goals with record accuracy, Cundiff missed three in a tight game. He knew he would get one more chance as he watched Robert Griffin III drive the Washington Redskins down the field, trailing by one. ''I was joking with a guy on the...

Via AP on Fox  |  October 03, 2012
