#ALFRED MORRIS SALARY SERIES#
Prediction: McFadden would win my vote as the RB to spell Elliott on a series or two a game, but if the Cowboys need a 20+ carry player, Morris is the guy. Is it possible he just doesn’t have it anymore? While he looked good early on, down the stretch he started looking like the running back that Washington had no desire to re-sign. His yards per carry have been on a steady decline ever since his rookie season. The case against Alfred Morris: His production continues to decline and it’s not just the volume stats. In fact, he’s the anti-McFadden when it comes to durability. He didn’t suffer some game-altering injury that has effected his performance. His three straight 1,000 yards seasons weren’t a fluke. He gets better as the game goes on as he finds his rhythm. Morris is a player that does well in a bell-cow role.
His ability to “get skinny” helped him slide right through the lanes and make some nice runs. Early on, Morris ran the ball well and looked like a great fit in this offense. When the team ended up selecting Elliott with the fourth overall pick, Morris' role would be severely diminished. The case for Alfred Morris: The Cowboys brought in Morris to add depth to the position so they could draft as pure as possible in 2016. It was such a nice sight watching Zeke never get caught from behind. Not that Morris is a blazer, but speed is not the advantage it once was for McFadden. He’s appears to have lost some of his speed too. Sure, it’s such a small time to have to rely on him, but any time he finishes a game feels like a bonus. You really don’t want your running game to depend on McFadden’s ability to stay healthy. While 2015 was great, many fans cringed whenever he was tackled hard. McFadden also is effective in the passing game, something he has done his whole career. He’s proven he can be effective in this scheme, despite the offense missing key offensive stars in 2015. He ran for over 1,000 yards a couple years ago once he was handed the reigns as the team's lead running back, but only started 10 games that season. They essentially ate his 2016 base salary cap hit even though his games missed to injury would offer them very little contribution. The case for McFadden: The coaches love McFadden.
#ALFRED MORRIS SALARY PRO#
Let’s take a look at these two and see what each of them have to offer (stats courtesy of Pro Football Reference). Does a potential suspension further solidify their spot on the roster? We must endeavor at all times to be people of high character we must show respect for others inside and outside our workplace and we must strive to conduct ourselves in ways that favorably reflect on ourselves, our teams, the communities we represent, and the NFL.Īll these things will reveal themselves eventually, but if we are to heed the advice and brace ourselves for a possible suspension, what does that mean for this Cowboys team if they are without Zeke? Currently, they have both Darren McFadden and Alfred Morris under contract for next season. So we wait.Īnd then there are those that will say there was no arrest made, so why is the NFL continuing to push this? Whether criminal charges were made or not, is there something that happened where Elliott’s actions violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy?Ĭonduct by anyone in the league that is illegal, violent, dangerous, or irresponsible puts innocent victims at risk, damages the reputation of others in the game, and undercuts public respect and support for the NFL. Fans don’t want to believe that and right now there isn’t anything on the table to believe. It sure has been made to appear that something else is in play. Messages of this nature don’t paint a good picture for the accuser, but that alone doesn’t mean that there isn’t other evidence out there against Zeke. Thus the accusations- Clarence Hill Jr July 22, 2016 Per a source, Elliott broke off the relationship and alleged victim said she would ruin him if he did.
