While everyone likes it when your starting RB can at least get in the way, if not block his ass off, like Portis/Hightower, they're forgiven so long as they produce running the ball. As Morris does.
3rd down backs are expected to be better blockers, and receivers. Roy was definitely a better receiver. But his blocking was worse than Alfred's. And he sucks at it too.
Redd, we hope, can develop his blocking skills. Which Roy never did. Don't know if that's the only reason we let him walk. But it's enough, especially if we think Redd can at least match Roy's production, while improving his blocking skills. if he can't, he'll be the next one gone.
And, if he can produce like Alfred does, running the ball, and improve his blocking, without fumbling like Morris does too damn often, then Redd could be the starter, and Morris will be on his way.
