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.

Redskins K Cundiff can't afford another bad game
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.

The Razzball Fantasy Football Podcast – Nick and JB Preview Week 5, JB Works On His Mayan War Cry

In a year where Chris Johnson can’t do anything then goes off against a league-best run D, the Saints are 0-4, and the Redskins feature a top-tier RB in Alfred Morris, the Mayans are laughing at us.
For this installment of the Razzball Fantasy Football Podcast, Nick and...
