One of the reasons the Washington Redskins move to a power running game is good for the team is because of the presence of running back Alfred Morris. He’s been one of the toughest runners to bring down in the league and the power running game should fit well with his skill set.
Last week against the Cleveland Browns, Morris rushed for 42 yards on 8 carries and gave us a good first look at how the new power running game will take shape. Morris’ performance this season will be crucial as the Redskins and Robert Griffin III look to successfully use play action in the passing game.
