Redskins need to win, but won’t do it until they feed Alfred Morris
This week the Washington Redskins will face the feisty Arizona Cardinals defense that loves to play 7 men in the box. The great thing about this week is Morris is a best when playing against seven man fronts.
Running back Alfred Morris’ averages 5.12 per carry when facing a seven-man front — the best for a back facing that look on at least 27 carries. His struggles occur against a six-man front, as he averages 3.67 yards per carry. He has already run the ball 30 times against that look — 13 fewer than he did a year ago.
If the Redskins can continue to feed him this week going against a rookie quarterback they should be able to get a win with ease.
