As an Eagles fan, I hope to heck Gruden's telling the truth here.Alfred Morris - RB - Redskins
In a conference call Friday, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Alfred Morris is still the "lead dog" at running back.
It's obvious to anyone who's watching that Jones has the higher ceiling in this backfield. So what if he has ball-security issues? AP lost 13 fumbles in his first two seasons as a pro, and you'll recall how that put paid to any hope of making anything of himself in the NFL.
If you're a marginal team, you might as well take chances with the high-upside guys at the skill positions. I don't hate AlMo, mind you, but trotting out the same guys that led you to 4-12 last year and expecting them to magically turn you into a 10-6 team this year is silly.
