Would Turbin have had a season like Morris if he was drafted by Washington? I mean are they comparable as runners? I know its probably hard to answer, but Robert was looking pretty decent pre-season when getting a few more carries (albeit some against backups) and has had a few good runs throughout the season. Just wondering cause as huge for us as Marshawn is (no hate on him at all) I would kind of like to see a smidge more of Turbin.

I think Turbin looks faster. All I've seen is Skins vs Cowboys, though...

The s outing reports on him coming out of Florida Atlantic were...4.7 40, linebacker speed...not very strong, had one of the lowest bench press test....etc.
Also VERY humble...drives a 91' Mazda!
He is an incredible tackle breaker...alway falling forward.

I think Morris is a special back.

Shanahan can take ANYONE and make them a 1000 yard back, but only the special ones go for 1400 yards or more

Portis
Morris

He doesnt have game breaking speed, but he is fast enough.

He isnt going to juke anyone out, but he makes very strong cuts

And you're not getting him down with one tackler or arm tackles. His legs are just too strong.

He's no where near the all around talent that Marshawn is, but with that scheme he's gonna put up yards. Think Warrick Dunn with Mike Vick back in the day.
