The Cowboys haven’t figured out how to utilize two backs since Marion Barber and Felix Jones were our version of “Thunder and Lightning”. Linehan hasn’t scratched the potential of this duo.” On July 20 th, 2017 – “Linehan never devised any play with Morris and Elliott in the backfield together.” In September 29 th, 2016, my favorite writer wrote – “In the age of bell cow running backs, Elliott and Morris could be an insane one – two punch. It was the worst offensive tell, since the empty backfield formation.įinally, I have been crying for offensive coordinator Scott Linehan to find a way to use running back Ezekiel Elliott and Morris at the same time. Even worse, when Morris would relieve Elliott, the Cowboys would call a passing play. I have been an advocate for him to get more playing time since he joined the Cowboys. The sad part is seeing Morris being wasted for most of two seasons. Personally, it was fun watching my friends that hate the Cowboys support him as he rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown against his former team. Morris is one of those fan favorites that the Redskins’ fanbase still support. It’s been fun having Morris play for the Cowboys because I am from Washington DC. Five players on the list aren’t on NFL teams and McFadden isn’t listed, perhaps due to his retirement. Thanks to Scout Fantasy, I found a list of 22 NFL running backs that were 29 or older on the opening day of the 2017 NFL season. To show the limited market for older running backs in the NFL, former Cowboys running back Darren McFadden retired this season at the age of 30. Will Morris be able to fit in with the Cowboys next year? Seems premature to say goodbye, but Morris is scheduled to become a 30-year old, unrestricted free agent next year. Well, I want to jump the gun and say thank you to Dallas Cowboys running back Alfred Morris. They say you never really know what you got until it’s gone. Rod Smith combined with Ezekiel Elliott form a youth movement in the backfield which makes it easier for the Dallas Cowboys to part with Alfred Morris.
