That Gruden ain't exactly high on Alfred Morris right now. It would be a mistake to say that Helu is better. But that is just me.

Morris is definitely struggling. He’s averaging 3.8 yards per carry this season after averaging 4.6 in 2013 and 4.8 in 2012. That’s a problem. Roy Helu on the other hand is averaging a career best 5.4 yards per carry on 25 attempts, which is a fraction of Morris’ 115. But they are different types of runners and they’re deployed in different situations. So it’s not an apples to apples comparison. But I can tell you this: Gruden seems to be losing his patience with the stagnant running game. 'Where do you want me to start?' he said Monday, asked what’s wrong with the ground attack. But after saying Morris has missed some cutback opportunities in addition to numerous other systemic breakdowns, Gruden also gave Morris a vote of confidence, saying, 'We still like Alfred. We still feel like he’s going to carry us to where we need to go.' So it doesn’t sound to me like making a change is even in the discussion.
