Joose Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Anyone seen one of his interviews yet? Something about him reminds me of Mike Tyson ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't give a CHIPS AHOY! as long as Shanahan keeps giving him the ball. The kid is a stud, and I'm so glad I lost week one so I could pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 ahhhhhhhhh the fascination of watching you young Jedi Knights get sucked in by the allure of the Mike Shanahan favorite RB flavor of the month. Just when you become hooked... dependent even on this latest Shanahan RB fancy... BANG! Oh the horror you will feel... the horror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 the gorror you must feel for not snapping him up via waivers...or drafting him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 And it's Al-A-Mo Where's the middle A come from? Is his full name Alfred A Morris? Or you just making that up? Found this thread searching for his name with your nickname (Huddle thread were first) http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?371241-Alfred-Morris-needs-a-cool-nickname/page2 I'll be honest, I'm pissed I didn't get him. Could be the real deal for this year and in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 ahhhhhhhhh the fascination of watching you young Jedi Knights get sucked in by the allure of the Mike Shanahan favorite RB flavor of the month. Just when you become hooked... dependent even on this latest Shanahan RB fancy... BANG! Oh the horror you will feel... the horror. This time feels different. 4 straight games as the workhorse. I'm still nervous, but maybe Shanahan finally has his guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efi4eye Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Guys don't forget Helu is on the IR now. Royster doesn't have exeptional enough talent to overtake Morris either. Never can tell with Shanahan, but Helu being out of the picture and no more Hightower point to Morris being the work horse. Then again, Ryan Grant.

KhalDodo Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 RG3 TD stealing bothers me more than Shanahan switching out RB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 He has TDs in 3 of 4 games, and is tied for the NFL lead in rushing TDs. Doesn't seem to be a problem so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ernie McCracken Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) If Shanny has a back who can function consistently in the parameters of the offensive scheme without making mistakes, he tends to roll with him as a feature back. His tenure in D.C. had been lacking for such a player, not for lack of trying, but when you're mining for gold, you have to sift through a lot of dirt. He pass blocks well and RG3's mobility helps, he protects the ball, and is decisive at the point of attack which is imperative in the system. I drafted him in all 4 leagues I'm in and have been using him in a couple of them. He reminds me a bit of Stephen Davis in his prime, constantly falling forward for extra yardage and running ugly late in games.

nelsosi Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 he protects the ball So far he has, but fumbling issues were the big knock on him in college. I think a reappearance of those issues are the biggest threat to his job, not Royster or Grant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when you become hooked... dependent even on this latest Shanahan RB fancy... BANG! Oh the horror you will feel... the horror. It's become a comic show along these lines in my main league - the Al-A-Mo owner is desperately trying to sell high before the floor falls out from under him, Shanahan style. Problem is, everyone else in the league hates Shanahan even more and so they refuse to bite on the trade offers. It's gotten so bad the Al-A-Mo owner is trying to offer hedges. You can't make this stuff up..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't make this stuff up..... Hedges? We have had trades with conditional draft picks, so if the player does better (based on ranking in our scoring at end of easno) or is kept for next year (a keeper by the team that acquired him) its a higher draft pick.
