TRACTION: Alfred Morris is legit.
The sixth-round running back from Florida Atlantic looks to be Mike Shanahan’s latest find in the running back department, although we were saying similar things about Ryan Torain, now out of football, about a year ago, weren’t we? Still, Morris looks like the perfect fit for the offense, finding holes quickly, making his cut and bowling over tacklers in his path. Zone-blocked run plays don’t require the fanciest running backs (although the plays work even better with Arian Foster or LeSean McCoy in the backfield), they just require someone who finds the natural crease and is decisive about getting through them. Morris’s start was an extension of his impressive preseason, and validates the decision to let go of Tim Hightower despite Evan Royster and Roy Helu Jr. not being all the way healthy.
What was real, and what was a mirage against the Saints?

It just makes me so proud to be a fan of this school knowing we have alumni like him. Even coming back for the first home game to support his Alma mater

An old school guy like Shanahan must love having a back he can depend on (not a geme breaker but very solid player) as compared to the other ALWAYS injured backs he has (see releasing Hightower!). I just hope he does not run Alfred into the ground (aka as riding the horse into the ground), the NFL is a LONG season!
Go Alfred!
