Morris had 22 carries for 85 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 41-10 win over the Jaguars.
With quarterback Robert Griffin knocked out of the game in the first quarter with an ankle injury and wide receiver DeSean Jackson forced out later with a shoulder injury, the Redskins relied heavily on Morris to grind out a victory. Roy Hely also suffered an injury Sunday, and if he is forced to miss any time, Morris could grab even more carries, with Silas Redd also likely to see an uptick in usage.
We have waited forever to get the Redskins coach to use Morris, and every time they are forced to use him they win big. Hopefully the new coach is smarter than the last. Another plus is Kirk Cousins. RGIII needs to be traded to Oakland for "billions and billions" of draft choice stars.
It's hard to find a work horse these days as a running back. Most are cute and fast like thoroughbreds and gets hurt easily like them. Morris is durable and can grind the clock.

Small sample size, but the usage week 2 was immensely promising! Love the goal-line duties and stuffing Roy Helu back on the bench!
