I mean in 2015 he was the leagues fourth leading rusher and all.You don't lose your starting job to injury. Experience matters. I'd start McFadden.

Have to disagree here. I fail to see how Morris is criminally underused. He is getting 5-7 carries with last weeks 3 being the outlier. Zeke is averaging somewhere in the mid-20s. Why should it be any other way? Zeke is far more dynamic/the superior talent and is totally rolling. I like Morris in the role he is in now and would feel pretty good about him starting a couple games if Zeke tweaked a hammy or something, but that is the only way I am getting him more involved right now.The sad thing is, I can see him coming back and getting more touches than the criminally underused Alfred Morris.
I think he should get a series or two as opposed to one odd carry here and there.Have to disagree here. I fail to see how Morris is criminally underused.

I actually think he had been getting a series or two up until this past game. Which I think it was sort of like "hey, Green Bay is a big game, lets ride Zeke in this one" more then anything else.I think he should get a series or two as opposed to one odd carry here and there.
I also don't understand him getting carries at the end of the Bears and Packers games. He should've ended both games right around 25 carries, but he got to 30 and 28 respectively when it wasn't necessary.
The outcome was no longer in question so we should have had Morris in there to waste the final minutes.
Why put so much on Zeke so soon?

A few more carries for Morris at the end of the Green Bay game would have been fine but I don't think that makes Morris criminally underused. To me 'criminally underused' implies that the guy is so damn good it just flat out does not make sense not to put the ball in his hands more. You are talking about a handful of clock-killing carries in one game. Semantics I guess, but I think for the most part they are using Morris correctly.I think he should get a series or two as opposed to one odd carry here and there.

He gets at least 2 series a game part of the problem there is that they have not been sustained drives.I think he should get a series or two as opposed to one odd carry here and there.

He got 2 series against GB and also came in for some redzone carries.I actually think he had been getting a series or two up until this past game. Which I think it was sort of like "hey, Green Bay is a big game, lets ride Zeke in this one" more then anything else.
Before the GB game, Morris was coming in every 3rd series. They got away from that @ GB, but at least the staff had a plan that they were using.Have to disagree here.
